X-Rite showcases its latest solutions
Wednesday 23. May 2018 - X-Rite Incorporated, a global leader in color science and technology, and Pantone LLC, will showcase their latest color management innovations at two leading European conferences - Surfex 2018 and PLAST 2018. At these events, designers, masterbatchers, compounders, coatings companies and manufacturers can see the newest solutions to specify, communicate, formulate and control color quality across the entire manufacturing workflow to help speed production and reduce waste.
NEW PantoneLIVE Production – Plastic, Coatings and Textile: X-Rite and Pantone have expanded their cloud-based digital standard ecosystem, PantoneLIVE, to meet the needs of the plastics, coatings and textile industries. The new PantoneLIVE Production – Plastic, Coatings and Textile offering provides the official spectral color data from the Pantone Matching System (PMS) for plastics and coatings. Using PantoneLIVE helps bridge the gap in digital color communication between brands/designers and their print, packaging or product manufacturing supply chains.
NEW Ci7500 Benchtop Spectrophotometer: This new reflectance-only sphere benchtop spectrophotometer addresses the needs of lab and QC professionals who primarily work with opaque materials. The Ci7500 features SPIN/SPEX measurement to accurately determine gloss levels and is UV calibrated for advanced optical brighteners. This new instrument brings the level of reliability, traceability and accuracy that customers expect in a more affordable model.
MetaVue VS3200: The first non-contact imaging spectrophotometer that brings versatility and accuracy to the color measurement of wet and dry paints, liquids, powders, gels and plastic samples for improved color formulation and quality control. MetaVue VS3200 is ideal for color formulation, production color checks and quality control operations.
MA-T Family of Multi-Angle Imaging Spectrophotometers: The industrys first instruments to combine color imaging and multi-angle spectral measurement to quantify color, sparkle and coarseness. The MA-T family allows manufacturers to more precisely define and control effect finishes in order to achieve a new level of consistency and harmony across adjacent parts.
“We are excited to be demonstrating the PantoneLIVE ecosystem at these leading European events,” said Richard Roth, Vice President Product Management, X-Rite. “The PantoneLIVE Production – Plastic, Coatings and Textile license gives production suppliers instant access to the official Pantone spectral color values. PantoneLIVE works with X-Rites color management tools, allowing suppliers to easily integrate precise spectral values into their digital workflows and begin production faster and with more confidence. This saves valuable time in the manufacturing process that otherwise would be consumed waiting for physical samples to arrive.”
