Important Fiery® RIP notice
Install a patch to prevent the upgrade to Windows 10 Thank you for choosing the leading digital front end for your print operations. Please be aware of the following important notice from EFI.
Fiery® digital front ends are specially designed systems combining an operating system with Fiery software and custom electronics. As such, Fiery servers running Windows® 7 or Windows 8.1 will not support the Windows 10 upgrade directly on the server. Please do not install Windows 10 directly on your Fiery server. If the Fiery server is upgraded to Windows 10, it will not operate and the system will have to be rebuilt from original software disks or backup images. Microsoft announced that a Windows 10 upgrade can be performed through Windows Updates as of 29th July. A ‘Get Windows 10’ notification may pop up on your Fiery server asking you to upgrade to Windows 10. Please dismiss the notification.
If you see this on your monitor - DO NOT GET WINDOWS 10 - download our patch to prevent its install
EFI has created a Fiery patch, based on a solution from Microsoft, that disables the pop-up and prevents the Fiery server from being upgraded to Windows 10. You can download the patch from the Intec website support pages: http://tinyurl.com/pptsrwr Contact Intec for more information. Note 1: EFI strongly recommends that you perform a full backup of the system image on a regular basis. In the event of an accidental Windows 10 update, the backup image can be used to
restore the Fiery server so it will operate normally. Note 2: This announcement does not apply to Fiery XF and Fiery proServer for wide format printers. However, we recommend not attempting an upgrade to Windows 10 for these products without reading a separate communication that will be issued within the next few weeks.

PICTURE PERFECT!
The well-known contemporary Cornish art galleries, ‘Whitewater’, felt the Intec ColorSplash CS4100, was perfect for their fine art needs. Nick Wapshott, admiring the beauty of his new CS4100 amongst the gallery’s excellent display
Beating-off stiff competition, the Intec ColorSplash won final selection, owing largely to it’s superb heavy media handling capabilities. Husband-and-wife team, Nick and Suki Wapshott, are not just gallery proprietors, but also, two of the many producers of work on display. Nick, who is also surf photographer and Suki, a multi-disciplined fine artist, are both keen to supplement their fine art printing arsenal, with the highperformance of the Intec ColorSplash heavy media digital printer. “The colour fidelity and sharpness of the Intec CS4000 digital printer really impressed Whitewater Gallery and will deliver the quality demanded by this perfectionist couple” Peter Swann UK sales manager The artistic couple wanted to be able to produce short-run on-demand greeting cards and postcards inhouse. This would give them flexibility to change subject matter based upon current demands.
Typical examples of Suki’s paintings and Nick’s photography and - works available as limited editions
Previously, the gallery had purchased stock from a litho print firm, in larger quantities, but the slower-selling cards sometimes took 2 or 3 years to sell – the Gallery will now have the option to change stock throughout the year! The Gallery also prints and frames work for other local artists and can now offer a complete one-stop service for these customers – being able to also produce their business and greetings cards as well. Another added-value revenue stream. The ColorSplash’s heavyweight media handling capability, fine detail printing and colour fidelity, all delivered the results desired by the demands of the gallery’s artists and customers.
