Spectrophotometer with Video Targeting for the Print, Ink and Packaging Industries
X-Rite Incorporated and Pantone LLC announced the eXact 2, a non-contact handheld spectrophotometer designed to bring the ink, print and packaging workflow together in one device. The companies say the eXact 2 is the first color measurement device that connects to a full ecosystem of software tools, including InkFormulation Software, ColorCert Suite for print quality control, PantoneLIVE digital color libraries, NetProfiler for device optimization and the new X-Rite Link fleet management platform for real-time insight into device performance. Using Mantis video targeting technology and a “two taps or less” touchscreen interface, eXact 2 reportedly enables operators to measure and seamlessly verify customer requirements two times faster and with higher accuracy to help operators streamline workflows, reduce waste and free up capacity to generate revenue.
“We have redesigned the award-winning eXact to be more than a measurement tool,” says Chris Brooks, president, X-Rite. “The eXact 2 is a complete solution that sits at the center of an integrated color workflow. It is the most versatile, powerful, connected and easy-to-use tool in a printer’s color toolbox.”
