Exact 2

May 6, 2023 | Hand Held Colour Instruments, ISO Calibration, Packaging and Converting

The new Exact 2 is the replacement for the very successful Exact spectrophotometer.

It has a revolutionary camera based aperture system, improved accuracy and inbuilt pantone libraries. The larger screen offers improved visual perception of Colourspaces.

The Exact 2 supports Colorcert, Color IQC and Presssign software and can now connect by WIFI.

Calibration of the device can be done using NetProfiler software.

CXF data transfer is seamless using the Exact Manager Suite software and all units are scan enabled to automatically measure a colour bar.

There are templates for all ISO standards including Fogra 39,47,51 and 52 giving pass fail information immediately on measurement.

Full onsite training is always offered to gain the most out of this device.

The X Rite Autoscan consists of an X Rite Exact measuring head connected to an automatic scanning bar. This gives the flexibility of a handheld device with the precision of an automated bar scanner. It can either connect to software to display all densities, lab values and dot gains or to Printflow closed loop software for automatic key adjustment.

Printflow DC – Closed Loop Colour Control System

Jul 29, 2021 | Packaging and Converting

Printflow DC expands the benefits of CIP 3 compatibility by combining the DIPS (digital ink preset system) with connectivity to the Easytrax and Intellitrax scanning spectrophotometers from X Rite.

When scans are executed, the scan data is automatically sent to the Printflow DC where it displays both the measured values and the necessary key movements to correct the colour. The data is then transferred directly to the press console which automatically adjusts the ink keys to enable the required colours to be achieved.
