Prepress Inspection for High Printing Quality

Artwork errors are one of the largest causes of product recall. To help companies secure artwork files, EyeC has developed a complete range of artwork and prepress inspection software, sometimes also called proofreading software or artwork comparators.
EyeC artwork and prepress inspection systems allow the user to proof the content of the artwork file at each of the production stages easily and quickly. They ensure file quality, reduce the risks of errors, simplify and speed up approval processes. As a result, our customers maintain a high reputation, avoid reprints, lower their costs, and reduce time to market.

Inspect Everything in One Pass
With Eyec there is no need for a multistep inspection.

Barcode, Braille, Artwork etc. can be reliably inspected in one single pass.

Our Prepress Solutions
EyeC offers a variety of different software solutions for checking files quickly and easily. The EyeC Proofiler Graphic is suited for print files: It digitally compares two versions of a file to ensure that no unintentional changes and errors have been made at the prepress stage. The two files that are being compared are either the print-ready or the step-and-repeat-file with the customer proof file. This way, all errors are detected before creating plates and printing the wrong artwork. It makes your whole printing process a lot more secure andsaves time and money.

With this software, two versions of a file are compared as well. Changes to the artwork files can be monitored and commented easily. Thus, the entire artwork is verified in one single inspection cycle. It also proofreads Braille, 1D and 2D codes which is important for the pharmaceutical sector. It verifies text, graphics and layout in one step, including hidden text.

Workflow Integration for Increased Efficiency
With the EyeC Workflow Integration our prepress inspection technology can be incorporated into workflow systems for greater security and efficiency. The EyeC Proofiler Graphic is introduced into the prepress workflow to achieve an automated quality control procedure. It is used during the initial prepress work and thus prevents that any unintentional modifications have been added. With the full automation workflow, all files are checked automatically to see if they match the artwork. Prior to this workflow integration, data inspection was completed manually which was very time-consuming and prone to error.

Artwork Inspection

What is Artwork Inspection?

For inspecting artwork, the entire printing process, including design and approval, can be accelerated by a professional artwork and pre-press check. Using EyeC’s software, you check the final artwork during the design phase to ensure that it is error-free. When you design, review, or approve artwork, you use our programs to check the PDF files. They are suitable for inspecting folding cartons, labels or package inserts and detect all kinds of deviations.

How does it work?

Using the software for artwork inspection is so simple that it can be carried out without any previous knowledge. You compare the released version of the drawing with the print-ready files and thus make sure that there are no unintentional changes. The first step is to check the pre-press work using EyeC Proofiler Graphic software. For the following steps of offline and inline inspection, we also offer the EyeC Proofiler and EyeC ProofRunner software, which lead to the finished and deliverable print product.

What are the Advantages of Artwork Inspection?
Artwork inspection leads to improved process reliability because, unlike the human eye, the software detects all errors. This saves time and money and provides you with the highest level of quality control. You need fewer revision cycles because all changes can be checked in one process and errors are found earlier.

Artwork and Pre-press Inspection with EyeC
EyeC’s easy-to-use systems can check 1D and 2D codes, such as barcodes and pharma codes, texts, graphics and even braille.

100% Inspection

Ensure the Delivery of Defect-free Packaged Materials

For more and more applications, such as pharmaceutical or high-quality packaging materials, clients required zero defect deliveries. To help print shops perform an efficient 100% quality control and deliver defect-free material, EyeC has developed a complete range of in-line inspection systems. Whether you produce folding cartons, labels, leaflets or flexible packaging, EyeC has the solution that suits your needs.
Those 100% print inspection systems monitor the entire print job, check it against the customer proof, and alert the operator in case of random or process print problems.

Installed on printing presses, those 100% print comparators prevent job mix-up, identify defects in real time, allow the operator to implement corrective actions immediately, reduce material waste, and avoid costly reprints.
Installed on finishing machines, they ensure defect-free deliveries, prevent costly reclamations or product recalls, and contribute to customers satisfaction.

Avoid Costly Customer Reclamations
For many companies, such as in the pharmaceutical industry, print quality is vital for both regulatory compliance and image. For packaging and label printers, any quality problems will as a consequence result in costly reprints, reclamations or product recalls. With the EyeC ProofRunner Web, print shops can be sure that no incorrect products will be delivered to customers.

Installed on a press, the EyeC ProofRunner Web catches defects in real-time and allows the operator to correct the problem before too much waste material has been printed. By counting the number of good items produced, the inspection system also eliminates the need for overruns. As a result, it prevents the waste of expensive consumables and valuable machine time. By carrying out print inspection on a rewinder or slitter the defective items can be removed or replaced just before shipment to customers. Clients’ expectations are fulfilled and their satisfaction is guaranteed.

Verify Your Samples’ Complete Content 100%
EyeC ProofRunner Web uses a high-speed line scan camera to continuously acquire a high-resolution image of the entire web. A high-performance computer system then identifies and verifies all printed items on the web automatically. Texts, graphics, color variations, variable data, and 1D and 2D codes are checked for 100% of the printed job.
The EyeC ProofRunner Web identifies with high precision all typical defects, such as color deviations, misregisters, press contamination, filled-in or missing characters, hickies or poor-quality codes. Performing an initial check against the approved artwork PDF, provides reliable content verification in any language and prevents job mix-ups. By monitoring 100% of the printed web, it asserts quality and color consistency throughout the entire job.

Give Efficiency to Your Quality Control
Productivity is the key to facing the increasing competition and improving the bottom line. Thanks to its automated job set-up and high inspection speed, the EyeC ProofRunner Web helps print shops save time by the implementation of new jobs, and perform a fast and efficient 100% print inspection.
The customer proof is loaded automatically based on the entered job data, and used to speed-up job set-up. Even composite jobs, for instance front and back labels, can be checked against their corresponding PDFs in one click. The information that is contained in the PDF is used to define priority regions and adjust inspection sensitivity automatically. The great accuracy of this inspection system enables the detection of defects even at high speed. As a result, jobs are processed and proofed faster.
