The benefits
Speedy production time
Imposition templates have been set up using EFI Fiery Impose and saved on the EFI Colour Controller E-27B. This has erased the need for special rules on imposing for certain die-cuts and eliminates the need to relink files for variable data jobs. The company no longer has a complex set of rules for each set of templates which would cause confusion across the team.
A colourful world
An EFI ES-3000 Spectrophotometer ensures that colour is consistent across different stocks and allows the company to print the correct colour on whatever stock it is using and saves the team from having to run test prints to match a colour from a prior order.
Keeping it in-house
A sophisticated booklet finisher unit on the printer removes the need to send booklets out to an external provider and means the company can complete jobs much more quickly.
