EyeC has updated Proofiler, which now offers integrated colour inspection and support for digital colour libraries.

The new EyeC Proofiler software update ensures integrated colour measurement without the addition of an external measuring device. Any number of colour patches can be measured randomly in the sample andpreviously defined measuring points can be reliably checked. Colours are evaluated during the measurement as CIELab colour values, which are then specified as ΔE colour differences compared to the reference colour values. Measurement can be done on a PDF (PDF-to-PDF comparison) or on a scanned, physical sample (PDF-to-scan or scan-to-scan comparison).

With this update, EyeC Stated that it is responding to growing demands on print image inspection, particularly in the consumer and luxury goods, and pharmaceutical industries.

Also new is the EyeC Color Book Editor, which supports the management of digital colour books and individual colour references, while enabling a smooth inspection process. This user-friendly programme enables even more efficient and faster input of the most suitable reference colours by importing customer-specific colour books, Pantone libraries as well as the manual input of CIELab reference colour values. Individual colour values can be edited and managed with just a few clicks. The intelligent function offers EyeC Proofiler users the additional option of applying colour values recurrently and automatically with a secure process for colour measurement. Furthermore, exact CIELab values and Delta E tolerance values can be assigned to each color. Input errors are reliably avoided by selecting the predefined reference color values.

With this new version, EyeC Proofiler users can now perform both relative process control and absolute colour measurement in CIELab. The beneficial results are time savings in colour measurement and the assurance that colours always match the required specifications.
