Digital Image Printing With Minimum Preparation

The control of digital images and the production of balanced prints with a minimum of settings and preparation is now said to be easier with Fujifilm's updated Image Hunter software.

The company said that Image Hunter enables users of large format printers to have had their ability to produce prints simplified with the software's EPI version.

The Image Hunter RIP is claimed to have been achieving maximum results for digital printer users from some time and now the EPI (Easy Printing Interface) version does it via what Fujifilm described as logical and straight forward processes.

In addition, the system is claimed to be affordable and versatile.

Able to be used with PC and Mac computers, Image Hunter EPI features colour management and ICC settings to directly match the output media being used applied automatically in the background when the media is selected.

No operator intervention is necessary.

According to Fujifilm, the user clicks through five options, from loading the images via a standard browser, determining the print layout for single sizes to multi-image photopacks as required and making the image fill or fit, rotate, zoom or pan, to selecting the media to be used (automatically activating all the settings).

It is claimed to decide on the number of copies and options, such as crop marks, print cutter or nesting to save paper wastage and then pressing the print button.

Image Hunter EPI software can also be upgraded to a full RIP system.

It works with the latest Epson Stylus Pro, HP Z-series and Canon IPF photograph printers, whilst ICC profiles for all Fujifilm Professional onkjet media is integral to the system.

Peter Hayward of Fujifilm UK, said: "Image Hunter EPI can be bought on its own or, for maximum price advantages, it can be supplied bundled with the Fujifilm Greenbox.

The Greenbox bundle also includes either the Epson Stylus Pro, or HP Designjet Z3100 printer as preferred, the X-Rite Eye-One Display 2 monitor profiling and calibrating system and two full rolls of 24-inch Fujifilm Professional media, together with installation and full training.".
