X-Rite eXact Basic Densitometer

For press operators who need a simple device for color control at the press, the X-Rite eXact Basic densitometer is the answer. Designed specifically for CMYK jobs, it helps you achieve and maintain accurate color throughout the run — replacing visual trial and error with fact-based density measurement that shortens make-ready times and raises color consistency.

Benefits:

• Color accuracy & consistency — accurate density and TVI (dot gain) results, with automatic recognition of color (CMYK) and patch type (paper, solids, and tints)
• Improved productivity — shortens make-ready time by 10%, for an ROI in less than 2 months
• Room to grow — upgradeable by password to any higher-end spectrophotometer in the eXact family, so a single portfolio grows with your business

Rising above the rest:

• Protected Automated White Tile Calibration — shields the instrument's accuracy from press-room dust at all times, unlike exposed white-tile calibration on other instruments
• Three measurement light sources — versus two on competing instruments, delivering true ISO-defined circumferential illumination that reduces variation from angular rotation on textured, uncoated, or directionally printed media
• Most versatile aperture set — 1.5mm, 2mm, 4mm, and 6mm to fit different workflows and patch sizes; the popular 2mm spot captures enough printed dots while still measuring 3mm patches well
• End-to-end color management — software integration for ink formulation and quality control, plus global service offerings that reduce the risk of workflow downtime
