The print inspection company EyeC has recently sold its thousandth system: a ProofRunner 450. The buyer of this inline inspection system is Netherlands-based Reynders Etiketten, part of The Reynders Label Printing group, which owns eight production sites in Europe and Asia.

More than a new milestone in EyeC´s history, this sale is an example of long-term collaboration between two specialists who both value innovation and quality, explains Johan Lievens, Quality Manager at Reynders Etiketten and responsible for the purchase of the ProofRunner. He comments: “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.”

The collaboration between the two companies started in 2005, a few years after the creation of EyeC. At that time, Reynders bought a first EyeC Proofiler 400 to control the quality of samples along the printing process. This Proofiler was the ninth system sold by EyeC. Latter on the printer bought another Proofiler 400 equipped with Braille inspection to face with the requirements of the pharmaceutical market.

Reynders Pharmaceutical Labels installed a few monthes ago a first ProofRunner 450. The objective: To control and re-inspect 100% of the labels of pharmaceutical jobs to make sure that they are free of printing defects or errors made at the prepress. The successful collaboration with EyeC has now led to the purchase of this second ProofRunner, this time by Reynders Etiketten.

For Johan Lievens, the success of this collaboration is due to “the quick cooperation, the quick implementation of the system, the good relationships with EyeC and the good preparation of this installation by both sides.” He adds: “We do not need to recommend EyeC. Just the fact that we uses the EyeC ProofRunner speaks for itself.”
