EyeC Workflow Integration

 

Whether text, graphics, Braille, or code: Connected via the EyeC Workflow Integration, the Proofiler Graphic checks your prepress files against a previously approved template. 

Any deviations are identified and automatically adjusted or displayed to the operator as required. This modern system not only increases security and quality, but also printing efficiency. At the same time, you save time and money, and improve customer satisfaction.

What is the EyeC Workflow Integration?

The EyeC Workflow Integration provides a modern inline inspection solution for multiple automated quality checks during prepress. It integrates EyeC’s industry-leading Proofiler Graphic into existing workflows to create a combined, standardised, and automated quality control process. This enables comparisons of prepress files with the customer’s approved documents, with step-and-repeat files, or with different versions of a file.

Once connected, the programme automatically triggers inspection procedures by retrieving job data, files, and inspection parameters from your workflow system and comparing them with the prepress file.

Improve print quality with the EyeC Workflow Integration

In order to meet the high demands of your customers, consistently high print quality is essential – and this requires regular checks. Manual checks can usually only be carried out on a random basis, which increases the likelihood of misprints. 

With an automated quality inspection system such as EyeC Workflow Integration, even large jobs can be monitored continuously, for each file and at multiple points in the prepress process as required. Problems are recognised and reported immediately, and premature or unnecessary work steps are prevented. This significantly reduces the error rate and thus improves print quality.

How does the EyeC Workflow Integration work?

Specially developed for workflow systems such as the Automation Engine from Esko, EyeC Workflow Integration can be seamlessly unified into them. This means that quality checks are carried out in real time and existing work processes do not have to be disrupted or interrupted. Compared to manual checks, this leads to greater efficiency and guarantees flawless results, especially for large print jobs.

Flexibly adapt the EyeC Workflow Integration to any workflow

The requirements for a quality inspection system can vary depending on the order and workflow. It therefore makes sense to use a customisable programme. The EyeC Workflow Integration allows you several setting variants. For example, you can decide on the number of checking processes, and at which point in the pre-press stage the files should run through them.

The degree of automation can also be changed. In addition to the fully automatic inspection process, in which the software automatically compares and approves, there is also the semi-automatic process, in which deviations must be manually approved in the EyeC Proofiler Graphic. This allows you to ensure, for example, that all necessary changes are made and that nothing is inadvertently adjusted.
