proofing system that allows full control over digital proofing needs and saves time and money. Together,
EFI and HP enable designers, photographers, and other creative professionals to easily generate proof-

stage, allowing designers to find and fix costly errors early, save time, and accurately simulate final
press output.

Edition integrates effortlessly with other illustration, photo, and layout applications.

grayscale, or CMYK workflows. Its Ugra/FOGRA Media Wedge 2.0 allows users to achieve correct
color, while Spot Color Editor supports an unlimited number of spot colors and libraries for
