SPECTROPHOTOMETERS

EXACT ADVANCED

Spectro for Ink, Print & Packaging

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.
