Off-line Inspection
Ensuring that packaging has been printed correctly, has no text or graphic errors, and matches the original artwork you have signed, is particularly important when printing sensitive documents.
This is because it is often a matter of complying with legal regulations and maintaining a good image for your customers. To support you in this task safely and efficiently, EyeC has developed a complete range of print sample or off-line inspection systems.
What is off-line inspection in printing?
Two different types of automated inspection of printed products are used in the printing industry: in-line and off-line inspections. The latter are not integrated into the ongoing printing processes but check the quality – especially of printed packaging – in the incoming materials laboratory.
The systems are therefore an ideal complement to in-line inspections and ensure error-free printing.

EyeC Proofiler
The EyeC Proofiler is a complete range of off-line inspection systems that enable companies to check the quality of all types of print samples. The system was developed not only for print shops, but also explicitly for their customers – especially if they have special requirements for printing labels and packaging. The aim is to bring security, efficiency, and flexibility to quality control.
EyeC Proofiler 900–1700 DT
The EyeC Proofiler is also available for the 900, 1200 and 1700 DT formats so that quality checks can be optimally adapted to common print formats. This means that half-size to large-format print samples can be checked as quickly as possible and incorrect images can be avoided. Your employees also benefit from the ease of use, especially with large sheets or thin brochures.
EyeC ProofBook
Especially when printing large documents, a comprehensive quality check is required to avoid misprints. With EyeC ProofBook, the process efficiency of the checks can be significantly increased: the system scans the pre-print for errors and refers the operator directly to the pages that need to be proofread. This allows you to eliminate incorrect images much more quickly and easily.
EyeC Audit Trail Viewer
The EyeC Audit Trail Viewer is available for the EyeC Proofiler and the EyeC Proofiler Graphic from version 3.4 on. This off-line inspection system helps you to check your audit trail and track critical events easily and securely. This allows you to recognise anomalies quickly, save a lot of time in process control, and be well prepared for upcoming audits.
What are the benefits of integrating off-line inspection systems?
The integration of off-line inspection systems has many advantages for print shops. They help to save time, improve quality, and avoid costly reprints or product recalls. EyeC’s off-line inspection systems are a cost-effective solution for meeting your customers’ quality requirements. Not least thanks to the high adaptability of the systems and the ability to inspect different printing processes and samples from different presses.
