X-Rite Pantone showcase workflow systems

X-Rite will demonstrate their full portfolio of hardware and software designed to streamline the color workflow process for pre-press, formulation, print production, and quality control. 

New technologies on show include the i1Pro 3 Plus printing device, which helps to reduce color measurement variability allowing printers to create ICC profiles for several substrates and calibrate print production devices.  

The new eXact auto-scan system, which will be also demonstrated, is said to combine the portability of a handheld spectrophotometer with the speed of an automated scanning system. It will be paired with the new Cup & Cylinder fixture, which helps converters in measuring and controlling color on cups, bottles, tubes, and other curved surfaces.

‘We are excited to be participating in the 40^th anniversary of Labelexpo Europe and showcasing digital color communication and workflow solutions designed to meet the needs of labeling and packaging converters today and tomorrow,’ said Ray Cheydleur, printing and imaging product portfolio manager at X-Rite. ‘As the types of materials, inks and printing technologies expand, color management has evolved to support these advances and make it easier for printers to communicate, calibrate, manage, and control color across the entire labeling workflow for improved efficiency and color consistency.’

X-Rite Pantone will be also displaying a wide range of existing products such as Pantone Live cloud-based technology and ColorCert software for color and print quality process control.
