GERMANY • Cerm and Hybrid Software have strengthened their cooperation by integrating the viewing and approval system Proofscope into Cerm’s portal software Web4Labels (W4L). The supplier of specialist software for the label market started their partnership last year in order to interface Hybrid’s productivity tools with Cerm’s MIS system.
“A growing number of label printers around the world use our workflow system CLOUDFLOW and Cerm’s MIS software,” says Jan Ruysschaert, managing director of Hybrid Software NV. “The huge synergies resulted in the two companies working together, which created some very exciting opportunities for printers, who increasingly have decided to automate their entire printing process rather than just pre-press.”
Geert Van Damme, managing director of Cerm, comments: “Cerm MIS operators can utilise the Proofscope viewer to have an identical platform to the customer and see exactly what they are seeing. In addition, customers can delegate approval of work to others without the need for complex workflows at the printer’s end.”
One of the first implementations of the new direct link was the package printer Du Caju Printing. Bart Bliki is prepress manager at the company, which is based in Erpe-Mere, Belgium.
