Each of the X-Rite Pantone Inspiration Zones feature solutions to help designers, compounders, manufacturers and other suppliers specify, communicate, formulate and control colour quality. This helps companies improve overall quality and batch-to-batch consistency reducing waste and rework, speeding time to market and ensuring high levels of customer satisfaction.
Design
The focus of this zone is to help designers take advantage of the latest trends, capture inspiration and select s that can be accurately achieved across all desired substrates. Using digital communications and spectral data helps eliminate miscommunication, improve approval processes and ensure accuracy in the end product. Featured solutions include CAPSURE, Pantone Guides and SpectraLight QC light booth.
Develop and Formulate
To help companies create, formulate and match palettes, X-Rite Pantone offers a complete suite of matching and quality control solutions for accurate analysis and cost efficient formulation. Using spectrophotometers and software, companies can simplify the formulation of master standards, optimise the use of ants, reuse leftover materials and reduce approval cycles. Featured solutions include iMatch, Ci7x00 benchtop spectrophotometer, MA9x, Ci6x, and 964 45°/0° spectrophotometer.
Produce
In manufacturing, continuous monitoring makes it easier to ensure consistent and accurate through the production workflow. This zone will focus on helping manufacturers deliver against expectations, minimise errors and improve efficiencies by reducing rework and waste. X-Rite Pantone will showcase how offline and inline measurement solutions can deliver quality statistics proactively and, in the case of inline solutions, can often correct issues before they are even visible to the human eye. Featured solutions include VS450, Veri, and ERX130.
Quality Control
In the final step of the production workflow, having the right set of software and measurement instruments in place to ensure that customer expectations are met is critical. Quality control professionals can monitor quality in real time to demonstrate accuracy and reduce product rejects. Data can be shared with customers and other suppliers to validate performance. Featured solutions include iMatch, iQC, NetProfiler, and a range of handheld and benchtop spectrophotometers.
