Exact 2
The Exact 2 color spectrophotometer is an improved generation of the Exact Standard series. With its modern design and a 30% larger display, it provides larger and more user-friendly results. Additionally, it features a non-contact sample measurement innovation called the Video Mantis (targeting system) in combination with a high-quality display, allowing for quick and highly accurate sample measurements.
Furthermore, the new design incorporates a sliding wheel, which prevents direct contact between the sensor and printing ink or the sample being measured. This design enhancement makes the device more durable and less prone to damage.
The target users of the Xrite color spectrophotometer include:
1. Laboratories, Quality Control (QA-QC), and Research and Development (R&D) Departments: They use it to compare colors and measure color differences in various industries, including packaging manufacturing companies, offset printing, copper cylinder printing, flexo printing, and color-printed carton boxes, as well as colored paper. It helps evaluate color discrepancies between customer-requested samples and the actual printed results.
2. Commercial Ink Manufacturers: They use it to assess the color of their inks.
3. Customers Placing Orders with Printing Companies: Customers use it to ensure that the printing companies meet their color requirements and expectations.
In summary, the Exact 2 color spectrophotometer serves as a valuable tool for quality control, color matching, and ensuring that printed materials meet desired color specifications across a range of industries and applications.
