ECO3 will launch the latest update to its prepress workflow software for commercial printers, Apogee v15, at CONNECT 2026, which takes place 10-12 February in Las Vegas.
CONNECT 2026 is a user conference and industry event organised by Graphic Communications, a long-standing ECO3 partner.
With Apogee v15, ECO3 continues to invest in the evolution of its prepress workflow software, ensuring customers benefit from ongoing improvements that support real production needs.
The company said it sees commercial print production continuing to shift towards shorter run lengths and more frequent re-runs, increasing the importance of efficient job handling and consistency.
Apogee v15 aims to address this trend with enhanced job management and archiving capabilities, making archived jobs easier to find, reuse, and manage. This ensures consistent output across repeat production, while reducing manual effort in prepress.
Developed in close collaboration with Graphic Communications, Apogee v15 introduces a structured integration approach that makes it possible to connect prepress workflows with ERP and MIS systems without coding.
This collaboration results in simpler implementation, more reliable integrations, and smoother data exchange between business and production systems.
“Printers often optimise software tools around their production needs, leading to customised integrations,” said Arnaud Becuwe, global head of Software at ECO3.
“The Apogee Scripting Engine uses a wizard-driven approach to integrate advanced ERP and production systems, increasing automation.”
CONNECT 2026 offers a program focused on practical insight into how print production is evolving.
ECO3 is a proud Empower Sponsor of the event and says it places strong value on direct dialogue as a driver for continuous improvement.
By exchanging experiences and discussing real production challenges, ECO3 will continue to gather valuable insights that inform and guide the future development of its solutions.
“Our long-standing partnership with ECO3 is built around a shared commitment to helping printers connect business systems with production reality,” said Matt Prusa, director of Partnerships and Alliances at Graphic Communications.
“With Apogee v15, that collaboration delivers tangible value – simplifying integration between prepress workflows and MIS environments, reducing complexity, and enabling printers to operate more efficiently as job volumes increase and run lengths continue to shrink.
“We’re excited to showcase these advancements together at CONNECT 2026.”
During CONNECT 2026, visitors can explore the latest improvements in Apogee v15 and engage directly with ECO3’s software specialists to discuss how these capabilities can support more efficient and consistent prepress workflows.
