Setting the Standard for Color Measurement
Specifically designed for printers and packaging converters, the eXact Standard is the market leading spectrophotometer to validate the color of CMYK and spot color inks. It leverages job-based tools with industry color standards to increase press process control and connects with PantoneLIVE and NetProfiler to maximize color accuracy within the workflow.
Streamline Jobs on Press with Print Standard Support
The eXact Standard doesn’t just provide density metrics and colorimetric value functions, it also supports all industry print standards: G7, ISO, PSO, and Japan Color. Plus, the BestMatch feature offers guidance to help you achieve a closer match to a specific color standard by adjusting ink on press.
Best in Spot Color Support
The eXact Standard offers the ability to create and manage standards and color libraries directly from the device for enhanced spot color handling. It also delivers direct and seamless access to the latest Pantone libraries and PantoneLIVE standards with an optional license.
Enhanced Measurement Speed
Simultaneously measures four M conditions (M0/M1/M2/M3) in less than one second in spot mode
Spot Color Support
Provides enhanced spot color handling by allowing creation and management of standards and color libraries to be located on the device
Protected, Automated White Tile Calibration
Protects the instrument from pressroom dust at all times
