The integrated Digital Loupe allows users to zoom in instantly for detailed inspection or capture images for documentation and audit trail purposes.

Quickly Scan M0, M1, M2, M3 in a Single Measurement

The eXact 2 Plus seamlessly switches between spot and scan modes through integrated navigation wheels and intelligent patch recognition, improving measurement efficiency by up to 17%. It enables concurrent measurement of M0 (UV included, ISO 13655:2017), M1 (D50, ISO 13655:2017), M2 (UV excluded, ISO 13655:2017), and M3 (polarized, ISO 13655:2017) within a single operation.

Connected Ink and Print Workflow Integration

Capture, analyze, and visualize color data efficiently to access critical information in real time. All eXact 2 models incorporate embedded quality control and quality assurance functions directly on the device, along with streamlined ink management workflows. Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity ensures secure and flexible operation throughout your production environment.

The eXact 2 Xp incorporates all standard functionalities of the eXact 2 platform, with additional capability to accurately measure CMYK and spot colors on flexible films, plastic materials, foil with white opaque backing, and other specialty substrates.

Includes All Features of eXact 2

Building on the eXact 2 architecture, the eXact 2 Xp includes the innovative Mantis™ video targeting and Digital Loupe technologies. Its intuitive “two clicks or less” touchscreen interface enables rapid color data acquisition, real-time on-screen visualization, and seamless Wi-Fi connectivity to quality control and ink formulation software, streamlining the entire color management workflow.

Integrated NetProfiler technology combining advanced software algorithms with certified color standards, continuously monitors device performance, detects color drift, and applies corrections to maintain measurement consistency across instruments.

Optimized for Poly, Film, and Foil Applications

The eXact 2 Xp is specifically engineered for accurate color measurement on challenging substrates such as film, poly, and foil with white opaque backing. The integrated polarized filter ensures stable and repeatable measurement results, independent of the instrument’s orientation relative to the sample surface.

eXact 2 Plus includes all the features and ability to measure on both polarized and non-polarized substrates. Like the other eXact 2 models, eXact 2 Plus offers Mantis, Digital Loupe, intuitive touchscreen, and non-contact measurement.

Comprehensive Measurement Flexibility Across Substrates

Designed for maximum versatility, the eXact 2 Plus supports measurement on paper, flexible materials, and specialty substrates in both polarized and non-polarized configurations. Consistent with the entire eXact 2 series, it features Mantis™ video targeting, Digital Loupe magnification, an intuitive touchscreen interface, and advanced non-contact measurement technology.

Advanced Analytical Tools for Color-Critical Applications

Engineered for ink manufacturers and print providers handling color-critical production, the eXact 2 Plus delivers enhanced analytical functions, including opacity assessment, metamerism analysis, color strength evaluation, and paper quality measurement — enabling precise control and optimization of demanding print processes.

EXACT™ FAMILY OF PORTABLE SPECTROPHOTOMETERS
AND DENSITOMETERS

The eXact family is the industry benchmark for measuring color in print and packaging. From densitometers to highly advanced spectrophotometers, for use with paper, film or other substrates, the X-Rite eXact family is one of the most accurate and consistent color measurement instruments on the market. With easy-to-use features, everyone in your organization will be able to access the color data they need quickly and easily.

SPECTRO FOR INK, PRINT & PACKAGING

• For ink room, quality control, print, and packaging facilities
• Evaluates ink and paper prior to, during, and after print production
• Analyzes substrates with capabilities like Brightener Index Function

HIGHEST QUALITY WITH THE BROADEST TOOLSET

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.

ADVANCED QUALITY CONTROL MANAGEMENT

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.

THE KEY TO CONSISTENCY ON TEXTURED SUBSTRATES

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.

BEST-IN-CLASS DENSITY MEASUREMENT

Need a device to measure all aspects of CMYK in the pressroom? The eXact Basic Plus automatically detects color and patch type and compares production density measurements against stored standards with pass/fail indication. The eXact Basic Plus can help increase efficiency by decreasing measurement time and improving print accuracy.

AN EXTENSIVE TOOL SET FOR DENSITOMETRIC COLOR CONTROL

Not only can the eXact Basic Plus verify all aspects of density, including ink trap, print contrast, and hue error, but it can also measure offset printing plates, allowing you to measure a print curve and to view density trends.

EASY-TO-USE, SECURE, AND CUSTOMIZABLE

The eXact Basic Plus includes the same features of the eXact Basic, including the ability for each user to configure the device and control all elements on a selected job. Enhanced security features and password protection ensure the instrument and tool configuration remain secure.

JUST-IN-TIME CONTROL FOR CMYK JOBS

Looking for a simple device to measure density on press? The eXact Basic densitometer is designed specifically for CMYK jobs, enabling you to achieve and maintain accurate color throughout the run. With the eXact Basic, you can replace visual trial and error with fact-based color control for improved accuracy and consistency.

ACHIEVE ROI IN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS

The eXact Basic doesn’t just validate the color of CMYK and spot color inks, it facilitates a new level of print control.
