The EDOX Graphical version comes with everything in the Office version plus additional features for more advanced print jobs. Combined with a powerful hardware configuration, it is a high-performance color server ideal for use with midrange and high-end engines. It is optimized for high-speed network communications, processing, printing of continuous tone color pages and improved job management capabilities through powerful job ticketing and account code functionality. The EDOX Graphical can connect up to two printers and even three wide-format printers. Besides the allready mentioned Reporter function, available in the EDOX office, the EDOX Graphical includes an easy to use function in order to create the autorisation tables. The existing structures of the Windows Network are automatically imported in the EDOX, which saves time for the administrator and improves reliability and integrity of the system. Job ticketing is a workflow system that includes additional instructions with any print job. The Job Ticket includes e.g. finishing instructions, billing information, shipping/routing information, or any other customer-specified instruction. Besides general instructions a Job Ticket can be defined to Pre-process and post-print job blocking. Indicating that user-definable task, attached to the job, will be held until instructions specified in the Job Ticket are met. The EDOX Graphical provides standard job-tickets which can be adapted easily. Spot-On color matching with substitute colors on the EDOX Graphical can replace specific colors in a print job. This enhanced Spot-On feature provides a graphical user interface which helps you to “zero in” on the CMYK toner equivalents needed to create a precise match to a desired color. This is accomplished by creating a custom color within Spot-On associated with an application-specified RGB or CMYK value. It allows you to create your own custom color with a custom name and specific CMYK value. The option provides an intuitive way to modify spot color values to achieve an accurate and desirable result and allows accurate matching for logo colors and other spot colors in an automatic, application-independent workflow. The process can be further optimized when e.g. the ES-1000 spectrophotometer is used to measure the CMYK value of the available color model. Paper simulation adapts the color of the paper to be used for final output and the effect that color has on inks. The color cast of paper is automatically rendered as printable CMYK values in the output color space. Paper Simulation also allows you to fine-tune the tint of the simulated paper color to match a paper stock slightly different from the one that was profiled, avoiding the need to profile every paper for every press. It also allows the use of white copier paper for accurate proofing of non-white papers (such as newsprint) that can not be used in a color copier because of manufacturer specifications. The EDOX office is capable of printing files with a halftone characteristic. Within the EDOX Graphical this function is extended. There are several halftone characteristics that you can control in order to simulate, with reasonable accuracy, the final dots that will be imaged on films or plates for offset printing. The halftone Manager provides a simple interface with which to set these characteristics in order to obtain high quality halftone proofs on continuous tone print devices by defining custom screening functions. Separations processing is a way of inspecting how color separations interact. The EDOX separations processing feature gives you an opportunity to identify problems that may not be apparent when inspecting individual plates. The process includes Combine Separations, Color Proofs, and Progressives. With Combined Separations, the plates are merged together and a CMYK composite is printed. A single page is printed containing the colors from all of the printing plates. The end result will give you an accurate representation of how the printed job will appear.   The EFI Color Profiler is an optional client-based kit that includes the EFI Spectrometer™, a fast hand held, color measurement device. Color information can be measured using individual patches or full strips of patches. The EFI Spectrometer™ can also be used as a densitometer, measuring the day-to-day fluctuations of printer inks and toners. Color calibration with the EFI Spectrometer™ will compensate for these fluctuations. With Color Profiler, you can easily create high-quality, CMYK printer profiles. Fully compliant with the International Color Consortium (ICC) standard, ICC profiles are at the foundation of color consistency across devices. Profiles can be used by color applications, by Windows and Macintosh color management systems directly.

Beside the cost benefit other advantages are the increased productivity and continuity. Large documents can be split in order to save production time. And whenever one engine needs service or is out of order, the files in the print queue can be redirected to the other printer without re-Ripping the complete job.   Depending on the license it is possible to connect up to three Wide-Format inkjet printers of various brands (e.g. Canon, HP, Encad) to only one EDOX Graphical in combination with an already connected copier device. Documents can be scanned with the A3 scanner of the copier and printed, without any interference of other Software, on the Wide-Format printer of your choice. And all files can be printed in various dot pattern types. Beside the regular features of the EDOX Graphical, useful tools are added like load balancing, nesting, scaling and tiling. This will turn the Wide-Format printer into a ‘real’ producion printer.
