Navigator DFE for Meteor is a Digital Front End that supports printhead drive electronics from our sister company, Meteor Inkjet, and integrates the Meteor Print Engine SDK. It is an excellent choice for anyone who wants a ready-to-go, quick-to-market front end. It is also customizable and entirely controllable by API.
If you are interested in doing your own development using Navigator DFE as a starting point, ask your Meteor or Xitron vendor how to get access to the Navigator web SDK (software development kit).
There are two paths you can go by. If you have done your own development with Meteor's Print Engine SDK or if you are in R&D mode and simply want a DFE that outputs color managed, screened 1 bit or 2 bit TIFFs, then you can start here with Navigator DFE for TIFF output.
If you want to use a fully integrated DFE for Meteor that incorporates Print Engine SDK and allows for direct control of the printer, then you are in the right place.
