Ideal for ink rooms, quality control labs, and print and packaging manufacturing facilities with the highest standards, the eXact Advanced can measure the color of ink and paper before, during, and after print production to ensure color stays on target. It also connects with PantoneLIVE and NetProfiler to maximize color accuracy within the workflow.
Inter-Instrument Agreement
Measurement Time
Device Geometry
The eXact Advanced doesn’t just validate the color of CMYK and spot color inks, it can simultaneously measure four M modes to visualize the spectral reflectance of a substrate or ink, measure the concentration of a specific ink, and measure the difference of a substrate or ink over white and over black.
Media with texture, such as uncoated stocks or digitally printed media, can introduce directional printing errors. The eXact offers three measurement light sources that create a truly ISO-defined circumferential illumination for less variation.
Verifies the concentration of inks with absolute and relative color strength features.
Leverages a reflectance graph to demonstrate the spectral reflectance of a substrate or ink to detect metamerism.
