Fujifilm Integrates X-Rite EasyTrax into Taskero Universe ColorPath Verified
Wednesday 16. September 2009 - FUJIFILM Graphic Systems U.S.A., Inc. and X-Rite Incorporated have once again come together to give printers more options for implementing Fujifilms patented Taskero Universe ColorPath Verified - a suite of performance analysis and monitoring tools - into the pressroom.
Available immediately, the solution combines the color management and process control features of X-Rites new EasyTrax – an affordable semi-automatic press-side color scanning spectrophotometer – with the enterprise capabilities of Taskero Universe ColorPath Verified.
X-Rites newly announced EasyTrax simplifies the regular monitoring of press runs by measuring color bars to give users fast and highly accurate density and spectral measurement data. After scanning a press sheets color bar, the data is transmitted to Taskero Universe ColorPath Verified for verification and analysis. The integration of the two technologies creates a much-needed solution for printers with older presses and for smaller-format offset printing systems running primarily process color. The combined solutions give users the ability to garner up-to-date information on the color production process and real-time color measurement and aggregation of the entire press run, live via the Internet.
“X-Rite devices are renowned for their precision and ease of use and EasyTrax is no exception,” said Don Schroeder, Fujifilms director of solutions development. “Weve worked closely with X-Rite throughout the development of the pressroom component of Taskero Universe ColorPath Verified and this is another of their devices that fits seamlessly and simply into existing pressroom operations. In combining Taskero Universe ColorPath Verified with X-Rites EasyTrax, weve created a powerful and affordable solution that enables more printers to achieve the ultimate in quality control.”
“When combined with the powerful performance analysis and enterprise-wide remote monitoring tools of Taskero Universe ColorPath Verified, EasyTrax can provide an affordable and easy-to-use color management and process control solution. It is ideally suited for printers who wish to regularly monitor press runs to ensure they precisely match their customers quality requirements, and meet industry specifications and standards,” comments Laura Pursley, X-Rites senior product manager for Pressroom Solutions.
Taskero Universe ColorPath Verified will be demonstrated live at PRINT 09 – running X-Rites EasyTrax – at the Fujifilm booth (Booth #6919) or visit the X-Rite booth (Booth #6939) for an in-depth demonstration of EasyTrax.
