In-line inspection systems
EyeC
ProofRunner Web
100% Quality Control for Labels, Leaflets and Flexible Packaging
Our perfect solution for all inspection widths:
From 450 mm to 1700 mm
Our flexible inline inspection solution for verifying labels, leaflets, and flexible material.
EyeC ProofRunner Web is a high-resolution and extremely fast and user-friendly web in-line inspection system for reel to reel and reel to sheet solutions.
Installed on a printing press, EyeC ProofRunner Web monitors 100% of the print run.
Prevent waste and cut costs. The system identifies any defective item and alerts the printer to fix the problem immediately.
As a result, you ensure high-quality narrow and wide web printing, you can run at full machine speed without risk, and you no longer produce unnecessary waste and overruns.
And with our standard built-in AI option, you can easily distinguish between relevant and irrelevant errors. Hide things like material defects or dust to draw attention to more important deviations. And don’t worry: all defects, even the ones that are not displayed, are listed in the report. This gives you the means to completely control and monitor your printing process, and ensure absolute quality from a standard to a highly refined label.
EyeC best in class inspection performance, at all speeds!
No change in defect size in running direction.

FAQ
What is the EyeC ProofRunner Web used for?
The EyeC ProofRunner Web is used for inline, 100 % print inspection on the press or finishing line, continuously monitoring the full web width and flagging deviations the moment they occur for printers and converters. By visualising defects in real time and tying them to precise roll positions, the system helps operators correct issues early, reduce waste and rework, protect brand integrity and meet strict regulatory requirements.
How does the AI option help in production?
The AI option helps production by classifying defects intelligently, distinguishing meaningful print faults from benign artefacts such as dust, splice tape edges or substrate grain. By cutting nuisance alarms without relaxing vigilance – and by documenting every event for full traceability – the AI workflow lets operators focus on actionable issues, improving line efficiency and decision-making at speed all packaging lines.
Does the AI need to be trained?
The ProofRunner AI option is pre-trained, so it can be put to productive use right away. With each additional print job, the AI learns, so that the results and thus the efficiency of the system continuously improve.
What is verified in a single pass?
In a single pass, the system verifies artwork (text and graphics), 1D/2D codes and variable data together in one unified run, avoiding separate checks that slow the line. This integrated approach streamlines set-up, prevents data or content mismatches and maintains consistent defect detectability across lanes and repeats – even during acceleration, deceleration and roll changes common in high-throughput production.
How quickly can operators get inspections running?
Operators can get inspections running quickly because fast, guided job set-up with intuitive tooling, templates and teach-in brings the system online in seconds, even for complex multi-lane repeats. Automatic synchronisation with web geometry and register minimises manual adjustments, enabling rapid changeovers and sustained high press speeds with stable, repeatable detection performance on British and European converting lines.
What reporting and downstream integration are available?
Comprehensive reporting is available, with automatically generated records that capture images, defect coordinates, classifications, statistics and – where applicable – code grades and Braille metrics for full traceability. Downstream integration is supported via press–rewinder connectivity and roll mapping for targeted rework, while export options enable seamless hand-off to QA systems, MES/ERP and customer documentation used.
