Fujifilm FinalProof GxT Receives Accreditation from MetalFX

Press release from the issuing company

VALHALLA, N.Y. (Dec. 19, 2005) – Enovation Graphic Systems is pleased to announce that Fujifilm’s FinalProof GxT digital contract proofer has been accredited by MetalFX as an approved technology for proofing metallics. MetalFX is a new design and print technology that’s revolutionizing the printing of metallic colors. With MetalFX, printers can offer their customers an unlimited amount of metallic colors, all by using only five inks – the usual CMYK set and the MetalFX base silver ink. “The ability to use MetalFX libraries with FinalProof GXT means that customers can now proof virtually any metallic color by using a combination of FinalProof’s process colors (C,M,Y,K) and the metallic donor. If the specified metallic color can be printed using the MetalFX process, then FinalProof GxT can proof it and vice versa,” explains Eric Neumann, product marketing manager for color and proofing products at Enovation. Fujifilm’s FinalProof GxT system offers a number of unique features in response to the growing demand for the expanded color capability and versatility in proofing substrates. Building on the company’s reputation of excellence in color proofing, Fujifilm gives users of the FinalProof GxT added flexibility and versatility and allows them to tackle and proof jobs that they’ve not been able to previously. With the addition of the MetalFX accreditation, users are now able to also proof thousands of additional metallic colors. “It’s a pleasure to work with Fujifilm and Enovation. The FinalProof GxT proofing system complements the MetalFX system perfectly and we are delighted with the MetalFX proofs the FinalProof can produce,” says Andrew Ainge, managing director of MetalFX Technology. “We recently ran some proofs and they were superb. We look forward to our continued partnership with Fujifilm and Enovation.” “MetalFX and FinalProof GxT provide a solution for the growing demands of metallic inks used in today’s packaging market,” continues Neumann. “FinalProof GxT provides one of the few available solutions for proofing of metallic inks with unprecedented results.”
