Hybrid partners with Cerm

Hybrid Software has teamed up with Cerm to create a direct link with packaging productivity software and the Cerm MIS and Web to print applications, available to existing users of either company’s products.

Cerm, which is owned by Heidelberg, concentrates solely on the label and flexible packaging sectors. Jan Ruysschaert, managing director of Hybrid Software, commented: “This makes Cerm a very attractive partner because we also serve those sectors. Combining our two product portfolios creates some very exciting new possibilities for printers, who increasingly need to automate the entire printing process, rather than just pre-press.”

There’s a new JDF-based interface between Hybrid’s Cloudflow and the Cerm server that enables a 1-up approval cycle for new labels, with customers also having the option to use Hybrid’s remote soft proofing system, Proofscope. The Cloudflow system will also use step and repeat information from the MIS system to create a step and repeat for output.

The sales teams from the two companies are being cross-trained with the plan to increase collaboration in the future.

You can license the articles from Printing and Manufacturing Journal to reproduce in other publications. I generally charge around £150 per article but I’m open to discussing this for each title, particularly for publishers that want to use multiple stories. I can provide high res versions of images for print publications.

I’m used to working with overseas publishers and am registered for VAT with the UK’s HMRC tax authority but obviously won’t charge VAT to companies outside the UK. You can find further details and a licensing form from this page, or just contact me directly here.

However, there are costs involved in travelling to cover events, as well as maintaining this site, not to mention the time that it takes to carry out research, check facts and interview people. So if you value this work, then please help to maintain it and keep it free to read.
