X-Rite Pantone Wins 2013 Ringier Technology Innovation Award for Ci4200 SpectrophotometerJudges give Ci4200 high marks for color measurement applications for the plastics industry
SHANGHAI, China October 8th, 2013 - X-Rite Pantone received a 2013 Ringier Technology Innovation Award in September for the introduction of its Ci4200 spectrophotometer for color measurement applications in the plastics industry.
A panel of judges convened by Ringier Trade Media, a leading publisher of information relating to the plastics and mold making industries in Asia, selected the Ci4200 instrument for an award in the Measurement & Testing category.
The Ci4200 is an easy-to-use, 31-point spherical spectrophotometer that manufacturers can harness quickly to measure the colors of plastics and other materials to reduce rejection rates and scrap, improve speed to market and enhance their positions within supply chains. With its attractive price point, the new instrument is particularly well suited for companies that want to improve on existing color measurement programs that currently rely on non-spectral devices or only visual inspection pass/fail methods.
X-Rite China is honored to have received this award from Ringier for our Ci4200 spectrophotometer, said Robinson Zhang, product manager of X-Rite APAC. Heeding to the needs from plastics industries, Ci4200 reifies our commitment to bringing innovative and cost effective color solutions to meet increasing demand from customers aspiring for better and consistent color quality control and color formulation. We are very pleased that Ringier recognized the value of the Ci4200 as advanced technology for the plastics industry.
Founded in 2006, the annual Ringier Technology Innovation Award event has become the preeminent celebration of technical contributions to the advancement of the Asian plastics industry. X-Rite Pantone has won six Ringier Technology Innovation Awards, including last years award for introduction of its RM200QC handheld instrument.
The Ci4200 is X-Rites response to customers needs for a small, easy-to-use and flexible benchtop spectrophotometer that serves as a solid foundation for tighter controls of color for incoming materials, in-process parts and finished goods. In addition to providing accurate color measurement for gloss and non-gloss surfaces, the Ci4200 is also available with UV (Ci4200UV) for accurate color measurement of textiles and other materials that contain optical brightening agents.
The Ci4200 is NetProfiler 3 enabled and supports embedded profiling. Using NetProfiler, companies can profile their Ci4200s to ensure accuracy and consistency across measurement devices within a single facility or across geographies. NetProfiler enables the accurate exchange of spectral color data in applications where color tolerances are tight and there is little room for error. The Ci4200 and NetProfiler 3 can lower the cost of color programs by helping to eliminate color measurement problems before they result in costly rework.
X-Rite, the worlds largest designer and manufacturer of color management and communication systems, ensured that the data generated by the Ci4200 integrates seamlessly with the databases of similarly equipped X-Rite spectrophotometers so that companies can access and continue to use historical color measurements records of incoming materials, processes and finished products.
The Ci4200 features:
Accurate color measurement. The Ci4200 uses a 31-point color engine and precisely machined Spectralon sphere to measure colors, also available with calibrated UV illumination (Ci4200UV).
Simultaneous SCI/SCE measurement in 2 seconds.
Flexibility in measurement. The Ci4200 can be rotated to measure test surfaces presented horizontally or vertically.
Small footprint that conserves benchtop space.
Potential connection with remote locations. When used with NetProfiler 3.0, the Ci4200 can be profiled to a single virtual standard.
Compatible with X-Rite SP6x handheld historical data.
Integration with powerful software for industrial applications. The Ci4200 connects seamlessly with Color iQC, Color iMatch and InkFormulation software packages for immediate use.
LED membrane provides status and operation feedback with remote trigger.
Sample targeting/viewing via sample arm.
