Both printers, running with an EFI Colorproof XF RIP, were awarded FOGRA certification for their print qualities, whilst the iPF5100 was also presented with the European Digital Press Association award for its proofing abilities.

Other great news.

In an in dependant lab test conducted by BLI the iPF8100 was proven to be substantially faster than the competition.
