Asecuri raises the bar in high-end security printing. This all-in-one prepress workflow unlocks full automation, reducing errors and creating true-to-life proofs.
With Asecuri, ECO3 is bringing the advantages of automation to the world of high-end security printing. Asecuri was tailor-made by seasoned professionals to address specific high-security needs – reliability, true-to-life proofs and efficiency, to name a few.
Asecuri is an all-in-one software solution covering all prepress processes from file intake and validation to imposition, proofing and rendering. Ss an open workflow, Asecuri is also capable of interpreting JDF imposition data from systems like Plato. Finally, the marks that are typically used for security jobs are also included.
Asecuri is a modular, scalable system that can be adapted to suit your needs, addressing the output for different printing techniques, higher resolutions, it’s all possible!
By automating your entire prepress workflow, Asecuri requires barely any manual intervention. As a result, errors are reduced to a minimum. Simply set the desired production parameters and let Asecuri do the job for you!
At ECO3, we have long-standing experience with high-end security printing and its specific requirements. Our dedicated security team is always standing by to provide the necessary training, apply the right resources and offer after-sales support.
Asecuri automatically corrects line thickness and patterns, compensates for deformations and makes other specific adaptations that are required for security design. The prepress software interprets high-security designs from Fortuna, ONE X4, Arziro Design or other security design solutions. Additionally, typical security job marks are also included and it is possible to import custom color books from Fortuna and ONE to Asecuri for color management.
Asecuri is an all-in-one software solution covering and automating all prepress processes, from imposition and proofing to rendering. Additionally, its modern and intuitive interface offers a full-resolution raster preview, allowing you to double-check at any desired output resolution to ensure that every change – putting a new date in the microtext on an ID card, for example – was processed correctly.
Because it automates your entire pre-press workflow, Asecuri requires barely any manual intervention. You can simply set the desired parameters and let the software work for you. But of course, it’s still possible to intervene. Asecuri has a client-server architecture which allows users to make modifications to jobs on the system depending on their access rights.
Due to their lower dpi count compared to the – extremely high – final output resolutions, proofs often fail to achieve a true-to-life representation of the end result. Asecuri fixes this issue by generating an optimized version of the design for the proofer, thus generating a proof that is as close as possible to the final print. This in turn enables a quicker signoff and more efficient overall process.
Asecuri enables you to compare the result of two different jobs at pixel level to ensure that only parts that needed to be changed were affected. This function works both at the individual item level and at the flat level. In order to speed up rendering and ensure that each security document is 100% identical, the rendering process can be performed before imposition.
