Hybrid Software outlines exciting plans for drupa 2024

Maryam Al-Haddad — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 14:02:19 +0000

Hybrid Software, the heartbeat of industrial printing and packaging, outlines exciting plans for drupa 2024 in a pre-conference press event.

(Ghent, Belgium) Hybrid Software, innovative developer of products and technology for both print providers and OEMs to power digital and conventional print production, today provided journalists an overview of its plans for drupa 2024.

Hybrid Software serves a truly hybrid world
Digital presses are here to stay, but conventional printing is not disappearing. Efficient print production not only requires good manufacturing practices, but also the craftsmanship and knowledge of traditional print developed over generations. Customers expect connectivity across all their hardware and software systems, but the IT environment where they operate is challenging and unforgiving. Hybrid Software operates at the nexus of prepress production and cutting-edge IT: The IT experts who know prepress, and the prepress experts who know IT.

The Heartbeat of Industrial Printing and Packaging
“Today we introduce a unified Hybrid Software built from six distinct operating companies with one common mission: We are the heartbeat of industrial printing and packaging,” announces Guido Van der Schueren, Hybrid Software Executive Chairman. “It communicates our DNA to our customers and the industry; one of long-term mutual partnerships and a commitment to expert local support. We will continue to deliver leadership in software and electronics for industrial printing and packaging, driven by the intelligence and passion of our people, speaking the language of our customers, and sharing their heartbeat.”

Commitment to Innovation
Hybrid Software announced several major new products and technologies that will be demonstrated at their stand during drupa. They include:

MyCLOUDFLOW hosted SaaS workflow solution: CLOUDFLOW is Hybrid’s popular enterprise production workflow. The highly configurable enterprise production workflow system provides fast and effective automation of prepress tasks for more than 1,000 customers worldwide.

All demos at drupa will be run using MyCLOUDFLOW, a 100% cloud-based SaaS solution running in a dedicated Amazon Web Services (AWS) cluster. The No-IT solution offers quick access to CLOUDFLOW through a private and secure environment for each customer with strong data protection and immutable backups. Like any SaaS solution, there is no hardware purchase, and easy scalability without requiring local IT support. The installed base of MyCLOUDFLOW users grew steadily through 2023 as print providers accepted the power of SaaS and the advantages it can bring to their businesses.

Broadest 3D offering in the industry: CLOUDFLOW’s ProofScope tool for artwork viewing and approval has been enhanced with the addition of a 3D approval system based on iC3D technology. Users can visualize product labels as well as embellishments like glitter and varnishes, applied directly to three-dimensional shapes including cartons and bottles. Hybrid Software will also demonstrate its new Capture3D software for accurate distortion of artwork for printing the highest quality shrink sleeves and die-formed metal packaging.

New MyPACKZ hosted SaaS PDF job editor and layout tool: MyPACKZ is a SaaS-based prepress application for any printing process, digital or conventional, derived from Hybrid Software’s very successful PACKZ software. PACKZ, with more than 5,000 copies sold, provides a full set of packaging prepress tools from preflight to step & repeat and trapping. MyPACKZ offers the same functionality in a hosted SaaS business model for increased production efficiency, quality improvements and reduced error rates. It’s the ideal editing solution for MyCLOUDFLOW customers, since it allows their files to remain in the cloud at all times, even when editing is required.

ColorSpace premium color management solution for labels and packaging: ColorSpace is a prime example of a Hybrid Software’s 100% ownership of technology for digital and conventional printing. Built on technology from its ColorLogic business, ColorSpace offers optimized color matching for digital and conventional print, to all users of PACKZ and CLOUDFLOW.

ColorSpace supports different color spaces, including CMYK, extended gamut CMYKOGV, and specific brand color inks. ColorSpace can offer non-experts—sales reps, CSRs and others—an automatic selection of the best ink configuration for each job on a given printing press, based on the smallest deviation from the spectral color (∆E), with reporting to MIS/ERP for accurate quoting.

SmartDFE turnkey digital front end (DFE) for digital presses: SmartDFE, the 2023 Pinnacle Product Award recipient in the Technology category, is particularly targeted for high-speed, single-pass presses printing fully variable data. It is built upon Harlequin Direct, the world’s fastest PDF RIP and itself a 2021 Pinnacle InterTech Award recipient, providing rasterization and inkjet drop generation for the best possible image quality and quickest printing speeds.

SmartDFE provides high throughput while minimizing server costs by directly RIPping digital jobs to the printhead drive electronics, eliminating the need for expensive disk arrays. The distinct edge of Harlequin Direct comes from independence from third-party core RIP solutions, relying on Hybrid’s own proprietary Harlequin Core—the world’s fastest RIP core, as well as workflow technology based on CLOUDFLOW, and color management from ColorLogic – all developed in-house.

SmartDFE transforms the role of the inkjet printer. It not only helps OEMs build wider and faster digital presses, but also adds an outstanding print subsystem to a manufacturing operation or smart factory to produce mass-personalized products.

Meteor driver board for Epson D3000 printhead: Working closely with Epson, Meteor has developed scalable and reliable drive electronics to take full advantage of the benefits and features of the Epson D3000 printhead. This will be running live on the Hybrid Software booth at drupa.

Xitron IntelliTrap workflow solution: In prepress, trapping compensates for misregistration on press by creating overlaps of ink where different colors touch in printed designs. To resolve this, prepress operators typically rely on in-RIP trapping solutions that can result in insufficient control (especially with print jobs containing transparent layers) or manipulate the artwork manually. Neither process is efficient. Xitron’s next-generation trapping solution was co-developed with Hybrid Software for its expansive base of offset printing customers. Increases in job throughput by as much as 70% have been seen—especially with complex artwork. IntelliTrap is the perfect platform for effectively applying trap settings in prepress and is fully configurable for all offset printing conditions.

Key Partner Announcements
Hybrid Software also announced a number of projects with key cooperating partners. They include:
• Fujifilm: A workflow and SmartDFE front end for the new FP790 flexible packaging press (Hall 8b/A02–A02-6)
• AB Graphic International: Label finishing automation with FleyeVision integration
• Weigang: Printhead electronics and digital front end for its new high-end label press (Hall 4/D10)
• Koenig & Bauer AG: PrintFusion software for fast press setup (Hall 3/B31)

“Hybrid Software is the only company that can drive any digital printing press with its own technology developed 100% in-house. More than 100 Hybrid Software engineers have worked together to build the broadest product line in the industry. The result is a full stack solution for digital printing,” comments Mike Rottenborn, Hybrid Software CEO. “This represents all of the tasks required to manufacture print, from file preflighting and ink estimation, to prepress workflow and layout, to all facets of color management, RIPping files to the digital printer, overseeing inkjet printhead performance, to analyzing and reporting to networked MIS/ERP solutions. Yet, just as important as the technology is that we care, on a very local level, about the successes of all of our customers. We look forward to meeting visitors at drupa and helping them achieve exceptional print accomplishments.”

Hybrid Software is eager to welcome drupa visitors at their stand from May 28-June 7 in Hall 7A, Stand D03. Anyone who would like to schedule a meeting or product demonstration in advance can visit https://www.hybridsoftware.com/eventhub-event/drupa-2024/.

Hybrid Software and HP join European webinar to discuss global packaging challenges

Hybrid Software and HP representatives were among the key executives who joined a recent European webinar to discuss the future challenges in the packaging category.
By Jonathan Siedmann

Organisers and partners of drupa’s ‘touchpoint packaging’ initiative gathered to discuss their visions for the future of the industry ahead of next year’s drupa conference.

The online panel hosted by Packaging Europe titled ‘Exploring Print & Packaging Futures in a Sustainable and Connected World’ shared insights on managing the evolving landscape of brands and retailers.

Inviting leaders from HP Inc, Hybrid Software, and Linked2Brands, among others, the panel covered a wide range of intersecting topics including the relationship between print and packaging amid increasing digitization, growing sustainability demands, and the increasingly complex connection between pack and consumer.

Tim Sykes (Packaging Europe), Stefan Hilss (Linked2Brands), Christian Menegon (HP), Heath Luetkens (Hybrid Software Group)

Among the questions asked were: ‘How is the consumer’s mind changing and how can brands cater to new touchpoints?’; ‘What benefits can virtual prototyping bring for e-commerce?’ and ‘Where are untapped opportunities for brands to improve their sustainability efforts?’.

CEO at Linked2Brands Stefan Hilss spoke about how different areas of packaging – such as point of sale, ecommerce, and traditional commerce – could no longer exist in silos. Rather, Hilss said that these channels had to operate in parallel and correlate with one another, with packaging serving as “a touchpoint connecting the digital and physical spaces”. However, Hilss emphasized that industrial printing still had a place in the sector due to the persisting need for high volume. He also said that while he did not foresee every single pack carrying its own story, it would still have a digital twin.

“Technology is the enabler to make those things possible and it will make the pack again a carrier of information, which maybe in the past wasn’t so relevant because other things disappear,” Hilss said. “Things we thought were absolutely relevant for the pack ten years ago may become obsolete, whereas other things all of a sudden will make it onto the pack.”The group also addressed the building movement toward sustainability in the printing and packaging industry and what issues digital technologies could – and could not – effectively solve. They argued that digital is one part of sustainability, not a one-stop solution.

Heath Luetkens, Business Manager 3D Graphics, Hybrid Software Group, commented on the growing push towards the recyclability of different materials that are being used in the package along with the importance of technologies such as magnetized inks, recyclable shrink sleeves, and the container itself. He also advocated for longer, more sustainable runs for packaging to avoid adding more waste to the creation of products.

“Even beyond just the generic package, we’re a large world, and brands have to adopt the package for that world and the different materials in each area,” Luetkens said.

Christian Menegon, Business Development Manager Industrial products at HP Inc, noted that while digital printing could make a significant contribution towards sustainability, it should not be viewed as a one-stop solution but rather “one aspect in the whole supply chain of a brand”.

A separate section of the webinar discussed the importance of packaging connecting the brand and the consumer. The speakers addressed the changing role of packaging as moving away from micro-marketing and telling the bold story behind the product, with technology such as QR codes or embedded chips allowing the consumer to acquire the detailed product information online.

Luetkens described the package as “changing into a vessel that allows us to connect”.

Menegon, meanwhile, emphasized how the transition to digital would be gradual, occurring as conventional printing technology plateaued and came to rely on outside or ancillary equipment to extend its capabilities.

“With digital printing, we’re still in the ramp up, so we have plenty of room to go before we become a replacement,” Menegon said.

Drupa 2024 will be held from 28 May to 8 June at Messe Düsseldorf, Germany. Visit Hybrid Software Group in Hall 7a / D03 and at touchpoint packaging in Hall 3 / B31.

Class act Hybrid Huddle in the UK

Maryam Al-Haddad — Thu, 05 Oct 2023 09:41:30 +0000

At St George’s Park, the home of England’s national football teams, our own UK team huddled together with our customers for the annual Huddle, and equipped with our partners in attendance – Miraclon, Bobst, Infigo and AB Graphic – HYBRID was ready for a successful kickoff.

„The HYBRID Huddle was a great event with exciting new automation and visualisation technologies. Well worth my time attending!“, shares John Pritchard, Label Packaging and Inkjet Consultant at Konica Minolta Business Solutions.

Huddle Highlights

We demonstrated our portfolio of prepress & workflow software for labels and packaging. Featured was PACKZ‘ new tools to predict the color of printed artwork under various printing conditions, plus different spot color strategies. The Advanced Color feature helps label and packaging producers accurately reproduce brand colors using the fewest possible spot colors—and therefore, the lowest production cost.

Not to be missed was Content XML for dynamic content creation using standard markup language, and Packzimizer for intelligent ganging of digital and offset label production.

Next up was MyCLOUDFLOW, our SaaS solution for file processing, asset management, soft proofing and workflow automation hosted in the AWS cloud and professionally managed by HYBRID Software personnel.

Ultimately PACKZ and CLOUDFLOW’s optional Colorspace modules were showcased. Colorspace is built on ColorLogic technology for exceptional brand color matching along with cost-effective ink optimization.

Look no further to automate your digital printing. Inspect multiple jobs on a roll without stopping the digital press with TubeScan’s Dynamic Job Change from BST. The TubeScan inspection system is fully integrated with our leading prepress software PACKZ. Inspection of new jobs is done uninterrupted, and the software automatically alerts the operator of issues, so operators can focus on printing. Prepress operators receive automatic alerts from the Tube Scan inspection system for issues, often before the press itself detects a malfunction.

Infigo Head of Global Sales, Paul Bromley and Technical Operations Director, Alex Bowell, were on-hand to demonstrate the new Infigo Connect: The HYBRID Software integration allows web-to-pack operators to create beautifully branded online storefronts, that can take orders and payment, and allow users to upload designs and edit templates, without any manual intervention.

Last but not least important, our new collaboration between with AB Graphic International raises the bar for label and packaging finishing automation. The integration is centered around three key areas that promise to deliver unprecedented operational enhancements: streamlined setup with automated slitting parameters, enhanced inspection automation, and efficient laser cutting. Discover the full partnership’s details here.

Experience Hybrid in 3 Dimensions

A graphic designer was on site creating real-time illustrations of the Huddle’s important announcements.

Via the photorealistic rendering capabilities of iC3D, these drawings have been stitched together into a 3D football. We hope you have fun looking at the result here.

Shout out to Graphic Change for their impressive work and creative drawings.
