The gateway to custom printing workflow automation
BlueFX could therefore add in-house or external automatic fulfilment capability from Web Orders or Kiosks for example; or ease the transition to new printing technologies like Inkjet by replacing a legacy WetLab with one or more newer dry minilabs.
Some popular import formats already supported are: Noritsu Hot Folder, Noritsu DPOF, Konica DPOF, Kodak DP2, Agfa PfDF (.b00), Fujifilm C8/MS13, Theta, GotPhoto, Sytist, Pic-time, Pixieset, ProSelect, ShootProof, LiveLink, Netlife, Dakis, and more…
Similarly, on the editing side, users of Express Digital Darkroom, Timestone, ImageQuix, Photolynx and others can ‘print’ to BlueFX and thus extend the range of possible output devices. Devices such as Epson SureLab, Fujifilm Frontier, Agfa, Konica and Noritsu Dry and Wet labs.
Here the Order can simply originate from a simple spreadsheet (.CSV) with automatic mapping of key entries like image, product and copy count, but can easily extend to include say backprint information.

A powerful engine for ripping, packaging and printing
BlueControl can export these jobs in a number of forms. The program can export images in a variety of picture formats.
But acting as a software RIP it can print to supported hardware devices like newer Inkjet printers and also legacy wet minilabs such as Fuji Frontiers and Agfa d-Labs.
This is one way in which we can manage the transition from old to new technologies.
In short, BlueControl can act as a Pro RIP software for both Epson, Fujifilm, and other printers. Printing can take place both directly or indirectly: Either direct to Epson SureLab and Fujifilm Frontier-S; or via the Epson Order Controller or Fujifilm MS01.
A key feature of BlueControl is the ability to do Package printing. This is done ‘on-the-fly’ with the user being able to create their own packages in PackFX.
This photo package printing software is able to create different sizes of the same image on one page. Or, using different images, print multiple photos in one page.
Using it as a printer layout software, you can create your own templates. This makes it an essential tool for Schools, Wedding, Events, and Sports high volume photography printing.
One of the major goals of BlueControl is to provide a consistent interface to all supported output devices. And provide all the features that Professional Photo labs have become accustomed to such as:
Batch Printing, ICC Profiles, Templates, Cropping and Backprint control.
This is one way in which we can manage the transition from old to new technologies.
In short, BlueControl can act as a Pro RIP software for both Epson, Fujifilm, and other printers. Printing can take place both directly or indirectly: Either direct to Epson SureLab and Fujifilm Frontier-S; or via the Epson Order Controller or Fujifilm MS01.
