COVID-19 has forced many companies to rethink the way they communicate, approve, and produce color.
For some, that means trying to conduct “business as usual” from a remote location. For others, it means finding ways to manage color without travel. Either way, we know our customers are doing everything they can to sustain business while keeping their employees healthy and safe.
We want to help. Over the past few months we’ve been adding new resources to our virtual resource library to help you get remote support and learn at your convenience, from the safety of your home or office, without the risk of travel.
Whether you’re using a spectrophotometer or light booth for the first time, need tips to communicate color digitally or approve color remotely, or are looking for tips to keep production moving as efficiently as possible, here’s how we can help.
Virtual Color, Device, and Software Training
Our virtual learning options span every industry and cover topics like color theory, how to use your device and software, and tips to streamline efficiency.
FOCA Online
We’re most excited about our new Fundamentals of Color and Appearance (FOCA) Online course. Traditionally offered as a seminar, classroom, or on-site course, FOCA Online provides foundational color knowledge, an understanding of color measurement and data, and best practices to improve color control across workflows and supply chains.
FOCA Online features interactive self-paced modules, a detailed course book, printed Munsell activity kit for hands-on learning, and an online discussion board that allows students to interact directly with X-Rite instructors. Learn more.

During the session, one of our Color Experts will take you through the topics of your choice so you can receive the maximum return from your color technology.
