“After looking at color measurement and management solutions available in the marketplace, we determined that the combination of X-Rite’s Ci7800 benchtop spectrophotometer and Color iMatch software delivered the best price/performance.” 
"Historically, the X-Rite Color i7 benchtop spectrophotometer
has been our standard instrument across our global network.
Any new instruments must deliver excellent inter-instrument
agreement with this base, and the Ci7800 fits the bill
beautifully.”

Measurement Reliability Across the Supply Chain
Like the Ci7600, the Ci7800 can measure opaque, translucent, and transparent samples. However, with tighter inter-instrument agreement and repeatability, it's ideal for manufacturers that need to seamlessly communicate, share, and coordinate color-critical values and specifications. The Ci7800 works with X-Rite Color iQC quality assurance software to quickly identify whether a sample is within tolerance, and if not, provides direct feedback to get it on target. Embedded NetProfiler status lights verify device is optimized for measurement performance.

Versatile Control for Opaque, Transparent, Translucent, and Brightened Samples
The Ci7800 offers up to five reflectance and four transmission apertures to measure color and appearance on a wide range of samples in port up, port down, and port forward positions. It can be fitted with various accessories to measure textured materials, odd shapes, liquids, powders, and gels, and uses up to 3 UV filters to control optical brighteners in textiles, plastics, paint, coatings, and paper.
Ensure Operator Confidence and Consistent Measurements
The Ci7800 delivers consistent configuration across all locations and eliminates the potential for error using automated, software-driven setup. The on-board digital camera with preview and active targeting guarantees accurate selection of measurement area. It can also capture images for future retrieval so any smudges, scratches or imperfections can be detected and accompany the measurement data for audit.
