Hybrid Software Group appoints Steven Steenhaut Director of Marketing

Hybrid Software Group has announced that it has appointed Steven Steenhaut as Director of Marketing. In this role, Steenhaut will coordinate group marketing activities across the company’s six business units, building a unified effort and market presence. Steven will be based in HYBRID Software’s office in Gent, Belgium.

Steenhaut has spent most of his career in sales and marketing, primarily in high tech and IT companies—particularly software—spanning a number of global regions. Beginning his career in sales allowed him to apply that experience into marketing to fully support the sales effort. He has experience in start-ups as well as more institutionalized companies. All of this comes within an international context with the ability to manage and coordinate several remote teams.

While Steenhaut comes to the Hybrid Software Group from Igepa Belux, where he was Marketing and E-Commerce Manager, he spent most of his career at Nuance, market leader in speech recognition, AI, PDF and OCR software. There he ultimately managed the Global Marketing Demand Center, guiding and supporting local marketing teams across the globe. The company grew from $170 million revenue to nearly $2 billion before being acquired by Microsoft in 2021. Steenhaut began his career as a copier salesman for Océ-copiers, quickly developing experience in the marketing departments of Panasonic and Fujitsu-Siemens. He earned a Master’s degree in Applied Economics (University of Ghent) and an MBA from the Management School of Antwerp.

“Hybrid Software Group has undergone considerable growth during the past few years. We are comprised of six business units whose technologies complement each other, but we must act as one company to our customers. While we have contributed to the success of many print providers, we also provide vital OEM technologies to many vendors who use our products and expertise to create digital front ends as well as fast and powerful digital presses. As a group, we are much stronger than our individual parts,” states Mike Rottenborn, Hybrid Software Group CEO. “Particularly given the importance of making a strong presence at drupa in a few months, we are fortunate to be able to rely on Steven’s expertise. We look forward to Steven’s efforts to provide a strong, unified identity.”

Global Graphics Software extends strategic business partnership with Japanese print OEM for a further five years

Global Graphics Software, a Hybrid Software Group company and developer of smart software components for print OEMs and independent service vendors, has extended its strategic business partnership with a leading Japanese manufacturer of digital inkjet printers for a further five years.

The partnership was initially forged in 2016 when the company integrated Global Graphics Software’s Harlequin Core™ SDK into its RIP software that drives its printers. Since then, the companies have collaborated to create a PDF Editor designed for rapid handling of complex PDF files. Harlequin Core has also evolved significantly, with enhancements including award-winning color management software from Global Graphics’ sister company ColorLogic GmbH, offering the highest color quality on the market, as well as support for PDF 2.0 and CxF/X-4 (Color Exchange Format).

Justin Bailey, managing director at Global Graphics Software, said: “The extension of this partnership demonstrates the success we have achieved, and the confidence and commitment the company has placed in our engineers and in Harlequin Core. We’re excited to continue this partnership and look forward to further collaboration in the future.”

Harlequin Core is widely acknowledged as the fastest RIP engine available on the market and is the technology of choice for many digital press solutions due to its ability to deliver fast and accurate pages, with output times far in excess of the rated speed of the industry’s leading print devices. Other features include support for the latest platforms, design content and extended gamut colors.

Global Graphics will be exhibiting at the forthcoming page2024 exhibition in Tokyo, 14^th – 16^th February 2024. The company will demonstrate its SmartDFE™, the only AI-accelerated Digital Front End for high-speed, single-pass inkjet presses, which is also powered by Harlequin Core. Also on show will be the latest technologies from Hybrid Software Group, with solutions from pre-press through to final printing.

Global Graphics Software granted US patent for searching and modifying outlined text in a PDF file

New method for identifying, tagging or replacing outlined or converted text offers a breakthrough for brand owners who want to maintain control over their artwork.

Global Graphics Software, a Hybrid Software Group company and developer of the Harlequin RIP® and the SmartDFE™ platform, has been granted a US patent (Patent No. 202 3030 6188 A1) for “Methods and Systems for Identifying and Tagging Outlined or Converted Text” by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The invention is a breakthrough for brand owners who want to maintain control over their artwork while also saving time and resources.

The patent describes how the live text properties of a PDF file can be preserved while preventing unauthorized editing or font substitution and is particularly useful for brand owners who need to send their artwork to reprographic studios for different printing processes and presses. The studios often outline the fonts in the PDF file to avoid licensing issues and ensure the integrity of the artwork. However, this means that the archived file has no live text and cannot be easily searched or edited.

“This invention provides a solution that combines security and flexibility for PDF files with live text properties,” comments Nigel Wild, product owner at Global Graphics Software and co-inventor of the patent. “The challenge was to find a way to protect the PDF file from unwanted changes, while allowing the user to access the live text properties if needed. For example, if a text change must be made to a printed label, such as an ingredient change, the user would have to manually read all the files that could be affected and determine which ones need to be updated. This could be a very time-consuming and error-prone task. This invention solves this problem by creating a hidden layer in the PDF file that contains the live text properties, such as the actual live text at outlining stage, the location, font, style, size, and color of the text. The user can then extract this data and store it for review. Now hundreds of thousands of files can be searched very quickly for a specific text string and files that need to be updated can be identified in seconds rather than months. Moreover, it also enables the user to reactivate the text if legitimate edits are required.”

Justin Bailey, managing director at Global Graphics Software adds: “Our SmartDFE for labels and packaging has prepress and workflow components that are being enhanced through the application of this invention, creating additional value for our OEM partners and subsequently their end user customers. I am pleased that by securing this important patent other operating companies in the Hybrid Software Group will benefit, particularly HYBRID Software, whose PACKZ® and CLOUDFLOW® applications are focused on label and packaging markets, where this invention will enable new efficiencies in their customers’ standard operating procedures.”

Hybrid Software Group releases Q3 results

Cambridge (UK) 26 October 2023 (08.00 CEST) – Hybrid Software Group PLC (Euronext: HYSG) provides a trading update for the nine months ended 30 September 2023.

CEO Mike Rottenborn comments, “The third quarter of 2023 was marked by overall consistent performance compared to the same period of 2022, with consolidated revenues up 3% and yielding a 19% EBITDA margin. Last year’s third quarter EBITDA was very favourably impacted by the one-time sale of an unused asset (approximately 69,000 IPv4 internet addresses) for a net amount of €3.3 million. On an equivalent basis, EBITDA for the quarter increased to €1.9 million from €1.3 million a year ago.

In September the company attended Labelexpo Europe in Brussels, Belgium and successfully launched several significant products for label and packaging production. A major new OEM also introduced SmartDFE, an integrated Digital Front End for digital printing devices built with leading-edge technology from across Hybrid Software Group, at Labelexpo. Q4 will bring additional exhibitions in the USA and China to further promote our products.

Although business conditions remain challenging in many of our markets, we have a tight control on costs and strong products to insure profitable growth now and in the future.”

Hybrid Software Group brings full stack of solutions for industrial printing to PRINTING United Expo 2023

Hybrid Software Group will be showcasing its wide array of software solutions and printhead electronics for packaging and all forms of digital and conventional industrial printing at booth #B8079 during PRINTING United Expo, from October 18-20, 2023. Featured will be Global Graphics Software’s SmartDFE™, which received a 2023 Pinnacle Product Award in the Technology category, and ColorLogic’s CoPrA 9 color management technology, a 2023 PRINTING United Pinnacle Product Award recipient in the Non-Output Device category.

Product highlights from Hybrid Software Group’s six operating companies will include:

HYBRID Software will demonstrate its complete portfolio of prepress & workflow software for labels and packaging. The updated HYBRID PACKZ editor adds tools to predict the color of printed artwork under various printing conditions, including different spot color strategies. The feature helps label and packaging producers accurately reproduce brand colors using the fewest possible spot colors—and therefore, the lowest production cost. Other recent developments include Content XML for dynamic content creation using standard markup language, and Packzimizer for intelligent ganging of digital and offset label production. MyCLOUDFLOW provides file processing, asset management, soft proofing and workflow automation hosted in the AWS cloud and professionally managed by HYBRID Software personnel. Both PACKZ and CLOUDFLOW now offer optional Colorspace modules built on ColorLogic technology for exceptional brand color matching along with cost-effective ink optimization.
Global Graphics Software will be presenting live demos of its award-winning SmartDFE™, the full software stack for high-speed, single-pass presses printing fully variable data. Built upon Harlequin Direct™, the world’s fastest PDF RIP, and using patented components that leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning, it provides rasterization and inkjet drop generation for the best possible image quality and fastest printing speeds. Its automation capabilities provide complete control of the print workflow as well as valuable information for QA and inspection, press maintenance and stock control.
iC3D Software, developer of 3D visualization and rendering solutions, will demonstrate Version 9 of its iC3D Suite. This includes a major enhancement to its PDF Editor, leveraging technology from HYBRID’S own PDF Libraries to deliver an enhanced user experience and faster, pixel-perfect rendering. Version 9 also offers seamless integration with HYBRID Software’s CLOUDFLOW for high volume 3D automation.
ColorLogic GmbH, leading provider of cutting-edge color management software solutions, will be offering demonstrations of their three flagship products: ColorAnt, CoPrA, and ZePrA. In particular, award-winning ColorLogic CoPrA is essential for any print manufacturer embracing extended gamut printing, creating high-quality profiles with a user-friendly interface for any color space and printing process.
Meteor Inkjet will showcase their complete portfolio of industrial inkjet solutions including the world’s largest range of electronics driving all major industrial inkjet printheads; cutting-edge printhead nozzle status detection and image quality enhancement technologies; software development kits enabling bespoke printers to be built from the ground up; and DropWatcher Systems to support printer OEMs in the design, optimization and production of inkjet print systems.
Xitron, developer of Harlequin-based Navigator RIP and workflow products able to drive virtually any output device—including litho, flexo, screen printing, digital, and high-speed inkjet—will demonstrate their entire line of prepress workflow solutions. Offering true prepress independence in each segment and based on the fastest RIP on the market, Navigator workflows are cost-effective solutions that feature exceptional functionality with blended technologies from sister companies HYBRID Software and ColorLogic. For digital presses built with any inkjet printhead, Xitron will demonstrate Navigator DFE, which recently surpassed 5,000 installations worldwide.

“Hybrid Software Group is a unique resource for PRINTING United Expo 2023 attendees. Our software products have contributed to the success of many print providers, ranging from commercial printers to packaging converters as well as wide format/specialty printers. However, our six business units also provide vital OEM technologies to many vendors who use our products and know-how to create digital front ends for fast and powerful digital presses. We’re proud to deliver the heart of industrial printing to many of our co-exhibitors at PRINTING United Expo and look forward to showing everyone our latest technologies,” comments Mike Rottenborn, Hybrid Software Group PLC CEO.
