EyeC and Hybrid Software present workflow integration at Labelexpo

The direct integration of the EyeC ProofText into Cloudflow by Hybrid Software enables efficiency in the artwork creation process

EyeC and Hybrid Software have expanded their collaboration and will present their latest workflow integration at Labelexpo Europe 2023. The direct integration of the web-based artwork proofreading system EyeC ProofText into Cloudflow by Hybrid Software enables efficiency in the artwork creation process.  

The partnership with Hybrid Software aims at the joint development of web-based SAAS and on-premise software for the graphic industry. In order to meet the ever-increasing demands of customers, the latest joint project focuses on the complex process of artwork creation. 

To do this, EyeC ProofText uses Mako Core technology from Global Graphics Software, a Hybrid Software company, to process PDF documents. Designed as the ultimate software development kit (SDK), Mako Core uses a unique document object model (DOM) to control color, fonts, text, images, vector content, and metadata. Through so-called DOM APIs, content can be queried and edited across formats and platforms, and digital documents can be modified. The highly automated, web-based artwork proofreading system EyeC ProofText detects and evaluates deviations within the revision check, including content and font style, within a single process step. 

The combination of the two companies' technologies enables complete automation of repeat jobs in a fluid workflow.  

At the same time, the digital workflow principle optimizes quality assurance and reduces manual effort. Even with very complex cases, the system combination offers up to 50 percent faster performance. 

Ansgar Kaupp, CEO of EyeC, said: ‘We are proud to further extend our successful partnership with Hybrid Software and to support customers with this innovative solution to increase their efficiency within their artwork management processes. The direct integration of EyeC ProofText into CLOUDFLOW enables a consistent connection between both systems, allowing us to offer our customers even more security in the prepress process.’ 

Christopher Graf, chief marketing officer of Hybrid Software, added: ‘The partnership with EyeC allows us to drive digitalization in artwork creation and further simplify increasingly complex workflows. At the same time, we are setting new standards together in the graphics industry by expanding our range of innovative solutions.’ 

EyeC and Hybrid Software experts will be at Labelexpo Europe 2023 from 11 to 14 September. Live demonstrations of the new workflow integration will be available at EyeC stand A864 during this time.
