What’s New on the Tour
Across all four events, X-Rite will spotlight the latest solutions to help manufacturers optimize every step of the color journey—from design and formulation to production and quality control. New solutions on display include:

• Autura™ Cloud-Native Software: This cloud-based ecosystem helps streamline color formulation for effect finishes using advanced prediction models. Autura reduces color corrections from seven steps to just two or three, reducing material use and approval timelines. Autura will be demoed at Eastern Coatings Show.
• Judge LED Light Booth: Accurately assess and evaluate color under standard LED light sources, aligning with EU regulations and the global shift toward efficient, sustainable lighting solutions. Judge LED will be shown at all shows.
• CiF3200 Imaging Sphere Spectrophotometer: Introducing the new CiF3200 benchtop sphere spectrophotometer, designed to excel in quality control for small, uniquely shaped, or multi-colored items. Whether you manufacture plastic parts, consumer electronics, or durable goods, this innovative device ensures precise and reliable measurements. Don’t miss the live demonstration of the CiF3200 at PLASTPOL.

“These enhancements go beyond product updates—they empower manufacturers to tackle significant industry challenges related to color communication, formulation, and the measurement of unique parts,” added Adby. “In industries like plastics, coatings, and textiles, having accurate and efficient color workflows provides a significant competitive advantage. Our mission is to enable manufacturers to digitize color data, communicate precise specifications, and minimize costly delays or remakes.”

By embracing digital color management, manufacturers across industries can dramatically reduce waste associated with traditional approval processes, which often require physical samples, rework, and extended timelines.
