In Booth A73 Hall 8B, X-Rite will demonstrate a full range of solutions to support each step of the digital workflow from colour communication, formulation, measurement, quality control and 3D visualisation.
“In the X-Rite booth, K Show attendees will have an opportunity to see our new MA-5 QC compact spectrophotometer for the measurement and control of metallic and effect finishes, the latest release of our Color iMatch formulation software, and our award-winning Virtual Light Booth for 3D material design and visualisation,” said Antoine Preisig, VP and GM EMEA, X-Rite and Pantone. “These innovative solutions are ideal for today’s digital workflows and are specifically designed to improve manufacturing efficiencies, reduce waste and support sustainability efforts.”
The new MA-5 QC Multi-angle Spectrophotometer is ideal for quality control of metallic and effect finishes used in automotive, appliance, plastics and consumer electronics industries.
Color iMatch Formulation Software is designed to accelerate colour development for the plastics industry, featuring a next generation match engine that delivers better colour matches in fewer steps for faster formulation times, cost savings, and reduced waste for a more sustainable process.
The Ci64 Spectrophotometer with the Cup & Cylinder Fixture allows plastic manufacturers and package printers to easily measure and control colour on plastic cups, bottles, tubes, and other curved surfaces without damaging the sample.
The Virtual Light Booth is a complete 3D visualisation environment for evaluating material appearance such as colour, texture, gloss, transparency, special effects and reflection properties. It allows users to accurately and efficiently visualise and compare 3D digital material renderings side-by-side with physical samples under a variety of lighting conditions.
Join Dr Francis Lamy, Executive VP and Chief Technology Officer at X-Rite Pantone, for a “Digital Customer Experience for CMF (Color Material Finishing): From Digital Tools Towards Virtual Material” presentation on 22 October from 5:00 pm to 5:30 pm on Covestro’s Booth in Hall 6, Booth A75-1 – A75-3.
