Need a device to measure all aspects of CMYK in the pressroom? The eXact Basic Plus automatically detects color and patch type and compares production density measurements against stored standards with pass/fail indication. The eXact Basic Plus can help increase efficiency by decreasing measurement time and improving print accuracy.
The eXact Basic doesn’t just validate the color of CMYK and spot color inks, it facilitates a new level of print control. With an easy-to-use touchscreen for quick measurements and an intuitive set-up wizard, the eXact can help you meet quality targets and reduce make ready time by 10% for a fast ROI.
Not only can the eXact Basic Plus verify all aspects of density, including ink trap, print contrast, and hue error, but it can also measure offset printing plates, allowing you to measure a print curve and to view density trends.
The eXact Basic Plus includes the same features of the eXact Basic, including the ability for each user to configure the device and control all elements on a selected job. Enhanced security features and password protection ensure the instrument and tool configuration remain secure.
