X-Rite Inc. reports it plans to launch seven new color management solutions in the weeks leading up to the international trade fair. These tools will address the create, prepare and execute stages of the printing process, says CEO Michael Ferrara.

In the graphic design arena, for example, the company intends to introduce a low cost, upgradeable and truly portable spectrophotometer solution to facilitate color management at the start of the workflow. Stemming from its acquisition of Monaco Software, X-Rite is also launching a new colorimeter, called Monaco-OPTIX, for use in generating ICC profiles for CRT and flat panel color displays.
