ESKO and Fiery have announced a new technology partnership to develop innovative solutions that advance digital print technologies and packaging workflows.
The announcement, made at Labelexpo 2023, means the companies will collaborate on workflow integrations to ‘more rapidly’ develop solutions to help brands and print suppliers in the digital print and packaging industries.
The companies unveiled integration between Fiery Impress, the turnkey DFE for industrial inkjet presses and inline manufacturing lines, and Esko Automation Engine, the next generation prepress workflow automation solution.
“Esko is an ideal partner, sharing our vision for simplifying print workflows through digital technologies,” said Maria Brilaki, senior director product management at Fiery. “By joining forces, we can bring to market integrated packaging workflow solutions that optimise the design to production to finishing process and help our customers achieve more precise colour reproduction, higher digital press efficiency, and sustainability.”
Geert De Proost, Esko director of product software management, added, “Esko holds a strong market position in prepress digitisation, automation, and connectivity, with a wide portfolio of solutions that accelerate the go to market process of packaged goods. Our customers need innovative, integrated technology to get to market faster and fulfil their design intent.
“From the start, there has always been seamless integration between the Esko DFE and Automation Engine. As Fiery Impress is driving a number of digital presses used by our global customers, it was the logical decision to integrate both products and offer a complete end-to-end workflow solution for digital print.”
