We’re excited to announce that SmartDFE™ V5 is now available. It’s a major new release with features designed to make life easier for label press operators and print service providers. It’s available for download now from our FTP site.
Two additions in particular stand out: Label Studio and MISLink. Together, they bring more flexibility at the press, stronger connectivity to business systems, and a boost in automation.
Label Studio – agility where you need it most
Press rooms are fast-moving environments. Jobs change. Deadlines shift. Sometimes you can’t get hold of the prepress team when you need them. Label Studio gives operators the ability to do late-stage planning right there at the press. No sending files back upstream, no waiting. Just quick, efficient job prep that keeps production moving.
And if you need a more advanced editing solution, Hybrid Software’s PACKZ and STEPZ are also available. Both are proven, PDF-native toolkits for prepress and Variable Data Printing (VDP) creation and are designed specifically for labels and packaging.
MISLink – connecting the dots
Another new feature, MISLink, offers seamless connection to Management Information Systems (MIS) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platforms . Built on Hybrid Software’s CLOUDFLOW workflow suite, it connects SmartDFE directly to your systems to give smooth data exchange and better transparency.
And it scales with you. MISLink starts with a foundation CLOUDFLOW installation that grows as your needs do. Plus, Hybrid Software’s services team can help make integration with your existing systems seamless.
You can see the new SmartDFE V5 in action at Labelexpo Europe next week on the Hybrid Software stand: 5E55. Contact Justin Bailey for your personal demo : justin.bailey@globalgraphics.com
