QuadTech Brings Vendors Together to Link In- and Off-line Color Control Systems

The color control process begins with customer-defined color targets, typically supplied by the Pantone color standard library, a Color Exchange Format (CxF) file, or color samples. These targets are manually evaluated off-line, using the industry standard X-Rite SpectroEye. A spectral color curve is obtained and loaded into X-Rite’s InkFormulation software, which then formulates an “ink receipt.”
