Reynders buys 1,000th EyeC print inspection system

Reynders Etiketten has acquired a ProofRunner 450 print inspection system from EyeC, the 1,000th unit the print inspection expert has sold.

The new ProofRunner 450 will perform 100 percent print inspection on a rewinder at the production site of Reynders Etiketten in Boechout, Belgium

Reynders is a long-term customer of EyeC, having made its first investment in 2005. At that time, Reynders bought an EyeC Proofiler 400 to control the quality of samples along the printing process. This Proofiler was the ninth system sold by EyeC. Reynders bought a further Proofiler 400 equipped with Braille inspection to face with the requirements of the pharmaceutical market. Reynders Pharmaceutical Labels recently purchased a ProofRunner 450 to control and re-inspect 100 percent of the labels of pharmaceutical jobs to make sure that they are free of printing defects or errors made at the pre-press. The successful collaboration with EyeC has now led to the purchase of the second ProofRunner 450 by Reynders Etiketten.

The investment has been made as parent Reynders Label Printing, which owns eight production sites in Europe and Asia, is faced with the obligation to replace some of its in-line print inspection systems.

Johan Lievens, quality manager at Reynders Etiketten, said: ‘It is of course a pleasure to be part of this new milestone in EyeC´s history. What we particularly appreciate, is EyeC´s capacity to evolve together with Reynders, so that we always stay at the forefront of innovation.’
