Market-Leading X-Rite eXact Spectrophotometer Platform Extended with New Scan Capability Benefits include ability to measure small color strips and extend the lives of older presses that don't have in-line color measurement capabilities
GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan, May 21, 2014 - X-Rite Incorporated, today announced the availability of eXact Scan, a new option that extends the functionality of the X-Rite eXact spectrophotometer platform. eXact Scan adds unmatched speed, flexibility and new quality control tools to the market-leading eXact color measurement instruments for the printing and packaging industries.
When combined with InkKeyControl software from X-Rite, eXact Scan enables color management at a low cost of entry, enabling printers to extend the useful lives of their presses. InkKeyControl allows printers to achieve faster make-ready and improve quality control through control of ink keys. It displays real-time measurement results in a graphical red/yellow/green traffic light report, which enables press operators to quickly manage changes as they print.
Warren Werbitt, CEO of Pazazz Printing in Montreal, a certified G7 Master Printer that specializes in conventional offset printing up to 56 inches, digital printing, flexo and digital labels, packaging, wide format and mobile solutions.
Said, We first migrated to the eXact to make the transition from using print density in quality control to the more accurate spectral readings. In addition, with the Scan Option, we have more capability to deliver the higher quality our customers expect. eXact Scan adds value to the eXact platform far beyond its incremental cost. Werbitt added, With eXact Scan, we can now comfortably hold on to an older press that we were not ready to update or retire. Pazazz was a beta test site for eXact Scan.
The eXact Scan Option extends the instrument's ability to accurately read conventional and non-continuous strips for quality assurance applications, such as flexo printing for packaging. Also, it is the ideal solution for offset litho printers that have large capital investments in older presses that aren't equipped with in-line color measurement capabilities.
Dan Magnia, the print and packaging market manager for X-Rite, said, X-Rite eXact has been well-received in the marketplace. Building on that success, we developed eXact Scan in response to suggestions from our customers about how to add even more value to the instrument. With expected high product demand, X-Rite is proud to offer a loyalty program to current eXact owners so they can be the first to take advantage of upgrading their equipment to include this new capability
With a few simple steps, pressroom personnel can install the new eXact Scan chassis and software to greatly extend the ability of the eXact spectrophotometer to accurately read different length color bars on a variety of printed materials.
In addition, eXact Scan can:
Transfer data to an application such as Microsoft Excel for further analysis and reporting.
Integrate with the new 2.5 release of ColorCert : X-Rite Edition to allow operators to scan color bars, including user-designed color bars, and provide full insight into potential production issues.
X-Rite eXact, including the Scan Option and all associated software solutions, is available immediately on a worldwide basis through X-Rite channels and directly from X-Rite. For more information about X-Rite eXact and other X-Rite solutions, please visit www.xrite.com/eXact.
