Ground Works (GW) Controller
The GW print controller is best suited for general office print applications like the production of letters, reports and presentations using standard Windows packages such as Word, Excel and Powerpoint. The drivers supplied with the Ricoh controller are easy to use and provide a simple print interface for good quality “office” colour.

Fiery E-7100 and E-8100 Controllers
The Fiery print controllers are best suited to production environments for applications like the short run brochure printing, mailing pieces and presentation graphics. Fiery drivers are a little more complex to use but do provide greater control over colour settings and print queues. The Fiery controllers have a standard PostScript driver; a priced option for the GW controller. PostScript is essential in Mac environments and advantageous where advanced Desktop Publishing Applications like Quark and Adobe InDesign are used.
