Fiery Digital Factory V12 - Next-Generation RIP for DTF, DTG & Specialty Printing

Smarter color • Streamlined workflows • Built for what's next

Elevate color. Simplify workflows. Print with total control.

Digital Factory V12 by Fiery® delivers the most advanced color accuracy, automation, and workflow enhancements ever introduced to the Digital Factory platform. With new professional profiling tools, an integrated Gang Sheet Builder, smarter spot color management, and intelligent production markup, V12 is engineered to help print shops scale faster and produce flawless, repeatable results-every time.

Version 12 introduces Fiery's new Color Profiler and Calibrator tools (optional add-ons), powered by the Fiery Edge™ color engine used in high-end production printing. Combined with a new DTF-focused saturation rendering intent, expanded PANTONE® spot libraries, and major workflow upgrades, V12 is the most future-ready and accurate version of Digital Factory to date.

Features:

Smarter Color Management: Optional Fiery Color Profiler & Calibrator modules bring professional ICC profiling, spectrophotometer support, and consistent, repeatable color across supported printers.
Visual Gang Sheet Builder: Build, preview, and adjust gang sheets directly inside the queue with drag-and-drop placement, spacing controls, and automatic page closing-ideal for high-volume DTF production.
Streamlined Production & Saturation: Upgraded markup tools, print length marks, pull-cut indicators, and job labels make cutting, tracking, and finishing more accurate and efficient from first print to final press.
Plus V12 offers a new saturation rendering intent designed for the DTF and textile market-enhancing vibrancy (especially in mid-tones) while preserving natural detail in skin tones.
