BestMatch

With eXact’s BestMatch function, it's possible to keep ink colors on target even before color shifts are visible. Using only a single click, operators can see density information as well as recommendations for adjustment of ink to achieve the best match throughout the press run. If that wasn't enough, X-Rite raised the bar by integrating multiple Pantone libraries so that you can easily ensure the spot colors you measure are accurate.

Quicker Than Ever Before (and Easier Too!)

Use eXact to quickly measure and understand color and status relative to standards. The eXact allows operators to manage and understand expectations at press, and know what is—and what is not—achievable. With an integrated calibration tile built in, you can ensure optimum measurement accuracy at all times.

Integrate Your Entire Color Network

The eXact provides many tools to aid in achieving color. When used with NetProfiler 3, the eXact can manage and monitor color performance on an enterprise level. Combined with X-Rite’s Color iQC Print, InkFormulation and PantoneLIVE™, eXact enables the validation and management of specified color across a variety of printing technologies.
