Fujifilm Image hunter EPI - making printing easy

FUJIFILM UK has unveiled the latest addition to its ImageHunter operator software which is set to revolutionise large-format inkjet printing. The new ImageHunter Easy Print Interface (EPI) software is being launched at this year's Spring Fair and is designed to take the hassle out of printing vibrant colours or pure black and white on large-format media, enabling image makers to achieve perfect results every time.

Primarily designed for printing images prepared with Adobe® Photoshop®, ImageHunter EPI allows easy sizing and media selection for image files in five simple steps: image selection, sizing, template selection, media output and print.

As with all programs within the ImageHunter portfolio, the EPI software includes the benefits of batch printing, automatic layout to minimise paper wastage, job nesting, tiling for large displays, and on-the-fly resizing. In addition, built-in ICC profiles for all FUJIFILM media guarantees excellent full colour rendition and matching across different media types, while also being able to produce perfect black-and-white prints. It is also suitable for use on both FUJIFILM/EPSON and HP large-format printers and is compatible with Mac and PC systems.

Peter Hayward from FUJIFILM UK says: "Our ImageHunter software has been helping to create superior print outputs in simple, straightforward steps since its launch in 2004. The addition of the EPI software to the range is set to take this one step further, making it easier than ever to achieve high quality production. For professional image makers, this all adds up to a valuable saving on time and effort, while still achieving the best possible results."

FUJIFILM ImageHunter is also available in photo and professional versions. The ImageHunter Photo edition handles TIFF and JPEG file formats, and offers support for ICC colour profiles as well as standard options for colour calibration, gamma correction, brightness, contrast and saturation. The Plus (professional) edition adds a full PostScript 3 compatible processor able to also handle PostScript, EPS, and PDF file formats.

ImageHunter can be configured as either a stand-alone workstation or a large client/server installation, and can be upgraded to match the needs of a growing business.
