Fiery, the print industry’s leading innovator of digital front ends (DFEs) and workflow software, has announced the launch of Fiery XF 9: the latest release of its high-performance software RIP, colour management, and workflow solutions designed to streamline all aspects of large format print production.
Winner of the 2025 Pinnacle Award for best large format RIP software, Fiery XF 9 adds cutting-edge capabilities that unlock new levels of value out of large format print operations. John Henze, VP Sales & Marketing, Fiery, says: “Large format print demands consistent, top-tier output, and our award-winning Fiery XF 9 RIP software, achieves excellent results at all times without the complex challenges there used to be. Fiery XF 9 is all driven through a Fiery Command WorkStation, the same interface print teams rely on across commercial and industrial print. That unified experience is what enables us to deliver speed, ease, and reliability.”
Now, large format print providers can use a single, unified VDP creation process across all Fiery Driven printers, with no extra tools to learn and no device-specific workflows to manage. The result is easier creation of targeted and versioned materials with custom images, text, and barcodes that can drive stronger customer engagement, with more flexibility and fewer bottlenecks to production.
Other features of the new Fiery XF 9 RIP include:
integration with Fiery FreeForm Create 2.0 for fast and easy variable data creation;
compatibility with Fiery ColorGuard, which provides all the necessary tools to verify colour quality, quickly correct deviations, and evaluate colour performance, as well as prove colour compliance; and
a new AI-powered print bleed functionality, that automatically generates realistic bleed to create professional, gallery-style canvas-wrap edges, or to avoid print quality issues caused by missing bleed content not created at the prepress stage.
The launch of Fiery XF 9 comes on the back of confirmation that Fiery has finalised its acquisition of Spanish print technology company Inèdit Software, completing a deal that was first announced late last year and strengthening Fiery’s position in digital textile and specialty printing, aimed at ‘making the company more of a one-stop-shop for digital production print providers’. With the deal now closed, Inèdit Software’s digital textile printing workflow products - including neoStampa, neoTextil, neoCatalog and neoMatch - are officially now part of Fiery’s offering.
