The X-Rite eXact Standard spectrophotometer is designed for printers and packaging converters to ensure color validation of CMYK and spot-color inks, while leveraging industry color standards for increased press process control.
Benefits of eXact:
- Streamline jobs on press — all density metrics plus colorimetric/value functions for better color control validation, and support for all industry print standards: G7, ISO, PSO, and Japan Color
- Best-in-class spot color support — create and manage standards and color libraries directly on the device
- Enhanced measurement — reduce wasted time and materials with simultaneous M0/M1/M2/M3 measurement
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
