Fiery Servers

Overview

More than just a RIP

A Fiery® digital front end (DFE) is a high-performance appliance designed to drive print engines and provide industry-leading performance; accurate, consistent colour; plus unmatched usability and integration that enable the quality and efficiency necessary for a wide range of print environments.

With more than 30 years of constant innovation, Fiery DFEs are the industry standard and the most popular choice in production and industrial print environments across multiple industries. Fiery DFEs drive the widest range of print technologies, from the manufacturing of commercial documents, signage and packaging to textiles, ceramic tiles, building materials, and more.

Fiery DFEs include standard and proprietary components, in both software and hardware, specially designed and configured to maximize performance for a specific print engine.

Industry-leading performance

In the race to the future, Fiery leads the way.

If a high-end Fiery DFE was a video streaming server, it could process and stream about one hundred HD movies per minute!

Have you ever wondered what makes a Fiery digital front end the fastest in the industry? In this white paper, you’ll get a technical overview of the exclusive Fiery technology that powers industry-leading performance. You’ll learn how:

• Fiery DFEs are specially designed and customized to maximise performance for a specific print engine.
• Unparalleled processing speeds help operators push more data to print engines faster, reducing engine warm-up and cycle-down modes, which saves valuable press time
• A Fiery DFE takes full advantage of custom-designed microprocessors, proprietary file-compression algorithms, and efficient memory management to produce industry-leading performance.
• Fiery DFE technology can be easily scaled to power everything from an office printer up to the highest production inkjet presses.

Intelligent HyperRIP technology

Intelligent HyperRIP automatically switches between single-job and multiple-job Fiery HyperRIP job processing modes based on a file’s characteristics for faster processing, either splitting a single job into multiple parts, or processing multiple short jobs simultaneously.

Fiery DFE offerings

Hardware-based DFEs

Fiery offers a wide range of DFEs that include fully customised hardware and software designed to drive a specific press at maximum capacity.
