Alongside the announcement of two new toners for its Revoria presses, Fujifilm presented the GP (Graphic Print) D02 controller as a technology demonstration in Madrid from May 19 to 21. This new module is designed to optimize the image quality and performance of ApeosPro C multifunction printers.

High-resolution RIP processing supported by artificial intelligence

The GP controller is based on a high-resolution 1,200 × 1,200 dpi RIP with 10-bit depth, ensuring faithful reproduction of text, fine lines and gradients. It incorporates 3D calibration to adjust CMYK colors, whether used individually or mixed.

Image processing benefits from an AI-assisted optimization process, developed from Fujifilm's historic photographic expertise. This system is capable of automatically identifying and correcting scenes that are too dark, overexposed, backlit or presenting hue problems (dull skies, unbalanced flesh tones), for a balanced final rendering.

Productivity gains for demanding jobs

Beyond visual quality, the GP controller also improves processing performance thanks to a high-speed RIP function, included as standard with an accelerator card, says Fujifilm. This system makes it possible to efficiently manage complex files, particularly those containing variable data or requiring a high level of quality. According to the Japanese manufacturer, it ensures processing speeds that exceed the physical capabilities of the host server.

The controller's interface facilitates everyday use, with functions such as drag-and-drop job preview, imposition and file merging.

Compatible with industry standards, it supports Adobe PDF Print Engine 5.0 and the JDF format, facilitating integration with post-processing systems, workflow solutions or hybrid offset/digital lines.
