Fujifilm launches XMF 2.0 into UK

Fujifilm has hosted the UK launch of the latest version of its cross-media workflow XMF v2.0 as it aims to provide "the very best in short run".

The company is using its TPE debut to demonstrate its "growing range of solutions for short run printing" according to marketing manager Graham Leeson.

"We are demonstrating how the latest version of our XMP hybrid workflow can help printers with digital equipment improve their turnaround times and the quality and consistency of out put," he added. 

Fuji's new client web portal, which is fully integrated within the XMF production workflow, allows comprehensive job submission, approval and online proofing functionality.

Fuji has added an online job submission module to the latest XMF. Andy Walker, workflow solutions manager at Fujifilm, said: "Everyone sees the internet as the way to go and some form of online submission tool is a prerequisite nowadays.

"We did have a third party product called XMF Web Approval, but we've now developed our own module, XMF Remote, which is quite simple to use but quite powerful in what it does."

Meanwhile, the addition of Adobe's PDF Print Engine (APPE2) will provide a further boost for digital printers as it has been designed to address the ever-increasing demands of digital short-run applications.

Leeson added: "By coming to the stand, printers will be able to see how the combination of Fujifilm colour management and image processing technologies driving a range of high quality output devices represents the very best in short run."
