EyeC adds workflow integration

EyeC Workflow Integration automates quality control in the pre-press stages, with the workflow system automatically activating the inspection process, and the EyeC Proofiler Graphic retrieving the order data and inspection parameters of the respective job from the workflow system. It automatically inspects the entire contents of the PDF file – including text, graphics, Braille, and 1D and 2D codes – against one or more approved files and then reports the inspection results back to the workflow system.

Different levels of automation are available, including semi-automatic inspection that allows for subsequent manual approval of the inspection results in the user interface of the EyeC Proofiler Graphic. With full automation, the workflow can inspect and release files automatically if they match the approved artwork with the operator only intervening when errors are detected. In this scenario, platemaking can be automatically initiated if the data is consistent with the approved file.

EyeC CEO Ansgar Kaupp said: ‘The integration of our solution into workflow systems allows for an integrated, standardized and automated quality control procedure.

‘This allows employees in the pre-press process to quickly and easily ensure that all necessary changes to the print files are applied and nothing has been accidentally modified. The integration increases not only security, but also the efficiency of quality control.’
