X-Rite Announces eXact 2, the First Spectrophotometer with Video Targeting for the Print, Ink, and Packaging Industries
X-Rite Incorporated and Pantone LLC, global leaders in color science and technology, announce the eXact™ 2, a next-generation non-contact handheld spectrophotometer designed to bring the ink, print, and packaging workflow together in one device. 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 patented, first-of-its-kind Mantis™ video targeting technology and a “two taps or less” touch-screen interface, eXact 2 enables operators to measure and seamlessly verify customer requirements two times faster and with higher accuracy. The speed, precision, and unparalleled data connectivity of the eXact 2 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,” said 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.”
