"We are incredibly excited about the new partnership with EFI, which ensures Intec continues to evolve within an ever changing print industry," states Ian Melville, managing director at Intec. "[We're] even more delighted to be able to offer our customers a flexible and scalable high-speed RIP and colour management workflow that is the perfect solution for our range of digital printing solutions."

The Fiery print server enables users to achieve precise and predictable output on a wide variety of substrates, according to EFI. Compatible with Mac OS X and Windows, the Fiery system will be available from authorised Intec partners.
