The digitization of color information from creative to the pressroom gains further momentum with the announcement of Rutherford Graphic Products teaming up with X-Rite Pantone to create a new closed-loop colour control solution for commercial and offset packaging printers. To this end, Rutherford Graphic Products, a leading developer of closed-loop color control systems, has released ExactLoop™, a new closed-loop color control solution designed to assist commercial and offset packaging printers manage color on-press automatically.
When used with X-Rite’s award winning eXact™ Scan spectrophotometer, ExactLoop improves pressroom productivity, enabling faster make-ready, empowering users to print to GRACoL, G7 or ISO Standards with ease and confidence. eXact Scan simplifies the regular monitoring of press runs by measuring color bars press-side. The result is fast and highly accurate density and spectral measurement data that gets sent to the ExactLoop interface. In turn, ExactLoop can make automatic adjustment to the ink keys on press, leading to predictable, repeatable color.
