Frank studied at KU Leuven and immediately started as a developer for Barco Graphics (now Esko) in 1989. There he learned the needs of the packaging industry, and grew into the position of technical product manager. After moving to Artwork Systems in 2001, he took the lead in developing a PDF-based workflow solution, and PDF editing tools. Currently at Hybrid Software (since 2011), he is responsible for the workflow engine in Cloudflow, the most versatile and robust workflow system for the packaging industry. Over the years, he has also contributed to the development of Adobe Illustrator plugins – some integrating high-end functionality into the software operators use in their day-to-day work, others bringing packaging features to Adobe Illustrator. His long experience has taught him all the specific details of the tools, file formats and protocols used in modern prepress for the packaging industry. In 2016 he joined the GWG, becoming most active in the Packaging subcommittee. We like to call him “Patch Man”.

Koen’s experience in the graphics industry began at his father’s company, which employed several typesetters. After studying at the Graphical School Higro in Ghent, he started working for Computil, a service provider and integrator of graphical systems. His job involved working with Apple products and teaching Adobe’s graphical software. Later, Computil became a dealer for Agfa equipment and provided initial support services. Koen then worked for 13 years at Igepa as a service engineer, handling Adobe software, Agfa workflows, Screen workflows, and other systems like Enfocus Switch. At Igepa, he also worked with various finishing and embellishment equipment for digital printing systems. Throughout his career, he has built extensive expertise in implementing and supporting production workflows across a wide range of print environments. Today, Koen works at Lab9Pro, providing services for graphics systems, communication agencies, and in-house printing offices. With his extensive experience and dedication to the field, Koen continues to make significant contributions to the world of graphic arts and digital printing.
