IntelliTrax is X-Rite’s advanced, automated color management scanning for press-side color control. Ultra-fast, IntelliTrax automatically scans the color bar of a typical press sheet in less than 15 seconds with the ability to measure special colors, PANTONE® Colors, non-process colors, and paper color. IntelliTrax instantly reports these results on-screen, so press operators can quickly make adjustments and get to approved color faster. IntelliTrax is the ideal color management solution for high-end, high speed printing operations.
• Faster makeready
• Improved quality control
• Extensive results reporting
• Faster ROI-intelligent features
• Optional close-loop capability available
EasyTrax is X-Rite’s NEW semi-automated color scanning system for producing accurate 2, 4, 6 or 8 multiple color jobs. Available in multiple press sizes from 20” to 40”, EasyTrax comes on a measurement board for easy installation and can be adapted to other after-market consoles.
EasyTrax includes a black backing so you can achieve or maintain ISO certification, and the characterization data sets for G7, PSO or Japan Color process control are available to support your efforts to achieve ISO standards.
EasyTrax has the ability to take a scan measurement or spot measurement anywhere on the sheet making EasyTrax the perfect solution for press-side color control for smaller format color presses or for primarily process color environments.
We offer a wide variety of spectrophotometers including X-Rite eXact spectrophotometer: Use eXact to quickly measure and understand color and status relative to standards, allowing operators to manage and understand expectations at press, and know what is—and what is not—achievable. With an integrated calibration tile built in, operators can ensure optimum measurement accuracy at all time.
iCPlate2 solves one of the most difficult tasks in the printing industry – quick and accurate quality control of the Computer-to-Plate (CtP) process. iCPlate2 meets the needs of the most popular offset litho and Flexo polyester plate types with AM and FM screening. With iCPlate2 XT where applicable the dot diameter, screen ruling, the screen angle and the logarithmic visual coverage are calculated and displayed. To avoid having to check each individual measurement during the linearization of a CtP, the iCPlate2 XT offers the possibility of measuring an entire curve with up to 100 sample points and then transferring it to a host PC. Beside standard iCPlate2 measurement values, iCPlate2 supports measurement values according to the Fogra Measuring Bar FMB. Through a purchased password, the iCPlate2 X can be upgraded to an iCPlate2 XT at any time.
• Highest Measurement Accuracy
• Efficient and powerful
• Easy to Use
• Upgradeable
• Additional software options
REDUCE MAKEREADY TIME AND PAPER WASTE WITH DIGITAL INK PRESET SYSTEM
PrintFlow DIPS (Digital Ink Preset System) fits almost all presses, making your press CIP3 compatible. Most printers with older presses do not have this function and their only choice is to set ink key manually. Without CIP3 automation these presses cannot be as profitable as they could be with an ink preset system.
PrintFlow DIPS links your prepress workflow and your press console, automatically programming ink key settings for each new job. The DIPS package includes the hardware and software necessary for communication between prepress equipment and press consoles.
Installation is simple and operator training can be done in a couple of hours. PrintFlow DIPS turns your older presses into a modern production workflow. And, PrintFlow DIPS can do the same for new or newer presses, often at cost less than OEM prices.
