Xerox DocuColor 12 Printer with Fiery X12 产品宣传页

Until recently, most color printing was done on printing presses using one of several 
printing techniques—offset lithography, flexography, and gravure, to name a few. 
All traditional printing techniques require lengthy preparation before a print run can 
take place. Short-run color printing, including Fiery printing, eliminates most of this 
preparation. By streamlining the process of color printing, the Fiery makes short print 
runs economically feasible.

In contemporary offset lithographic printing, digital files from desktop computers are 
output to an imagesetter, which creates film separations. The film is used to make a 
prepress proof, which is an accurate predictor of the final print job and allows you to 
make corrections before going to press. Once the proof is approved, the printer makes 
plates from the film and runs the print job on the press. 

With a Fiery, you simply print the file. The Fiery processes the PostScript information 
in the file and sends four bitmaps (one each for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) to 
the print engine. The ease of Fiery printing makes possible experimentation that would 
be too costly on press, allowing unlimited fine-tuning of color and design elements.
