In addition to incorporating the latest release of Adobe's PDF Print Engine (APPE2), Fuji has rectified what was considered to be a glaring omission in the original XMF – the lack of an online job submission module.

Andy Walker, workflow solutions manager at Fujifilm, said: "Everyone sees the internet as the way to go and some form of online submission tool is a prerequisite nowadays, so it was certainly the main part that was missing.

"We did have a third party product called XMF Web Approval, but we've now developed our own module, XMF Remote, which is quite simple to use but quite powerful in what it does."

Fuji's new client web portal, which is fully integrated within the XMF production workflow, allows comprehensive job submission, approval and online proofing functionality.

Meanwhile, the addition of APPE2 will provide a further boost for digital printers as it has been designed to address the ever-increasing demands of digital short-run applications.

In addition, Fuji has developed a new version of its image enhancement module, XMF C-Fit, which has the ability to automatically optimise a PDF for digital print.

Fujifilm UK marketing manager Graham Leeson said: "Printers who are looking to maximise the opportunities that digital technologies bring should visit the Fujifilm stand at Total Print! Expo.

"The core technologies behind XMF and the new features introduced in v2.0 mean that it's the ideal solution for short-run as well as long-run printing."

Total Print! Expo is being held at London's Earls Court 2, from 14-16 October.
