It helps printing teams monitor, manage, and optimize color accuracy throughout the production process by providing real-time measurement data, corrective feedback, and detailed reporting tools.

The Premium version offers full pressroom functionality, including color bar creation, substrate management, density correction feedback, dot gain analysis, job reporting, trending, and color library management. It works with Nix spectrophotometer devices to ensure printed output stays within color tolerances, helping reduce waste, improve consistency, and streamline print workflows.
