EFI (Foster City, CA) CEO Guy Gecht and Toby Weiss, GM/SVP of the Fiery division, waved goodbye to the print driver, this morning, as they launched Fiery VUE, "an innovative print application that makes publishing of professional-looking finished documents fast and simple for all office workers." Before printing to a Fiery-driven printer/MFP, the user can modify and preview the document on-screen in 3D.
According to the company, "With minimal keystrokes or training, Fiery VUE allows office workers to be more productive, reducing the time and complexity of creating and assembling finished documents. Business owners gain in-house document control and lower costs, while being assured security, consistent quality and color accuracy across all departments."
Alex Sumarta, director of production software for InfoTrends, says, "Fiery VUE is an easy to use application that fills a gap in the tools available today for an office worker to create and produce professional-looking finished documents, with no special training."
"Fiery VUE is a game-changing application from EFI. We believe it will eliminate office workers' ongoing frustration associated with searching for available printers, installing various print drivers or just trying to print a nice looking finished document," says Toby Weiss, general manager and senior vice president of the Fiery division, EFI. "As companies seek solutions to lower costs, speed turnaround times and reduce waste in support of their green initiatives, Fiery VUE enables fast production of professional-looking documents while dramatically improving productivity."
Fiery VUE is compatible with Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Adobe Acrobat applications. Users can launch the software as a standalone application or from within Microsoft Office 2003 or 2007. The Fiery VUE desktop application's interface visually guides the user through document layout and production. It also allows multiple files to be combined into a single document, where finishing options such as stapling, binding and hole punch can be selected.
Fiery VUE is available for download at www.efi.com/fieryvue.
