EyeC Driver

An integrated quality control system triggers automated inspections during prepress, enabling accurate and complete checks. The programme compares prepress files with a previously approved file as often as required: Errors are identified and either eliminated by the programme itself or reported to the operator. 

This not only benefits you, but also your customers.

What can the EyeC Driver do?

The EyeC Driver integrates the first-class inspection solution – the EyeC Proofiler Graphic – into the CLOWDFLOW from HYBRID Software. This means that quality checks run automatically directly within your workflow, which not only simplifies but also optimises them. Overall, this increases both the security and efficiency of your entire prepress process and delivers better print results.

Overview of the advantages of the EyeC Driver

  • simplification of quality inspections
  • smooth integration into existing processes
  • noticeable improvement in print results
  • examination of all files possible
  • customisable to your own workflow
  • easy to use
  • clear inspection reports
  • no interruptions to the workflow
  • significant reduction of rejects
  • avoidance of costs due to reprints
  • minimisation of the time required
  • faster delivery to the customer
  • prevention of complaints
  • improvement in customer satisfaction

More efficiency with the EyeC Driver

Only complete and regular checks can guarantee consistently high print quality. This is virtually impossible to achieve manually, which is why the integration of an automated system for comprehensive quality controls is extremely useful. With the EyeC Driver, you can integrate an automated system that can continuously monitor even large jobs and thus deliver error-free results.

Thanks to the seamless integration into your existing workflow, it becomes more efficient, including the checks, as premature or unnecessary work steps are prevented. This allows you to complete projects faster and increase customer satisfaction.

Optimise automatic quality controls to your own workflow with the EyeC Driver

If you work with CLOWDFLOW from HYBRID Software, the EyeC Driver not only helps you to standardise inspection processes, but also offers you the option of adapting them optimally to your workflow. You can create as many inspection processes as you need – for each file and at several points in the prepress process as required. The programme can compare your files with those approved by your customers, with step-and-repeat files, or with different versions of a file, as required. The check procedures run automatically by retrieving job data, files, and check parameters from your workflow system; the programme recognises and reports problems immediately. Text, graphics, Braille, 1D and 2D codes can be checked.

With the EyeC Driver, you can also automatically approve your prepress files if they match the previously uploaded artwork. Prepress staff only need to intervene if the software detects deviations. These can be rectified quickly and easily thanks to the user-friendly workspace of the EyeC Proofiler Graphic.

FAQ

Because the EyeC Driver runs predefined, automated quality checks directly within the workflow, it removes operator-dependent variation. Companies with multiple shifts or locations benefit from fully standardised inspection routines, ensuring that every file is evaluated using the same criteria — no matter who is working or where the job is processed.
Yes, the EyeC Driver is designed to handle demanding prepress structures. It can compare numerous versions of a file, manage step-and-repeat artwork, and evaluate elements such as text, graphics, Braille, and barcodes. This makes it particularly suitable for packaging and label production environments where variant proliferation and repeat structures are common.
If the EyeC Driver identifies discrepancies during automated checks, it flags the deviations immediately and reports them back to the workflow system. This allows the workflow to react – for example by pausing, redirecting, or rejecting a job – without requiring constant operator supervision. Only relevant issues need to be reviewed manually, making the whole process far more efficient.
By automating comparison tasks and eliminating unnecessary manual proofing, the EyeC Driver significantly reduces bottlenecks in prepress. Teams can process more jobs in parallel and with fewer interruptions. Because quality issues are caught earlier, costly reprints and late-stage corrections are avoided, leading to faster, more predictable delivery times
Absolutely. While the EyeC Driver shows its full potential when paired with solutions like HYBRID’s CLOUDFLOW, it can also benefit organisations that are gradually transitioning to automation. It ensures consistent quality checks, reduces operator workload, and acts as a scalable foundation for future workflow automation initiatives.
