Fremont, California-based EFI announces a partnership with Mount Laurel, New Jersey-based OKI Data Americas to bring to market an EFI Fiery digital front end—DFE—driving OKI’s leading-edge C900 Series digital production color printers for the graphic arts and specialty printing markets.

The new Fiery C9 Server drives six models from the C900 Series Multimedia Production Platform. OKI says these printers provide a low cost of entry and deliver high value output for graphic designers and print shops seeking to expand print applications across a wide variety of media sizes, types and thicknesses. Customers can now take advantage of a Fiery-powered workflow that delivers advanced job and color management capabilities and outstanding performance. The Fiery C9 DFE also includes support for OKI’s clear and white toners found in the C941 and white toner found in the C942.

The new Fiery DFE for the OKI C931e, C931DP, C941e, C941DP, C942 and C942DP digital color printers is available immediately from OKI Data Americas.
