X-rite announces joint developments with Fuji and Canon

Oct 30, 2008 2:39 PM

At Graph Expo, X-Rite (Grand Rapids, MI) announced developments from its partnerships with both Fujifilm and Canon.

Fujifilm Graphic Systems U.S.A. and X-Rite have combined Taskero Universe 2.0 – a suite of performance analysis and monitoring tools – with X-Rite’s IntelliTrax 1.5. IntelliTrax is an automated color measurement system for press-side color control, which scans the color bar of a typical press sheet automatically, in seconds, and sends the data to the Taskero Universe 2.0 website for verification and analysis.

X-Rite and Canon U.S.A announced the immediate availability of the i1Process Control software for Canon imagePRESS digital presses. Developed exclusively for Canon by X-Rite, i1Process Control provides imagePRESS digital press customers with increased control over their color print production output. Designed to be integrated with the Canon imagePRESS digital press technology, i1Process Control will help production print businesses maximize their color workflow. The availability of consistent color and extremely reliable digital proofs will offer reassurance to traditional offset users who are migrating to a digital workflow. Used in concert with the award-winning i1Pro Spectrophotometer from X-Rite, i1Process Control allows users to easily profile their displays and imagePRESS digital presses, create libraries of spot colors, and generate simulation recipes for use in DTP applications and in the Canon imagePRESS server to ensure color consistency with each print job.

In addition, X-Rite introduced i1Prism, a next-generation color management software development toolkit (SDK) to allow third parties to develop high-quality custom ICC profiles for digital display and printing systems. The new i1Prism SDK will give X-Rite partners and OEMs access to X-Rite’s profiling technology and allow tight workflow integration with prepress and printing systems. Key features include X-Rite’s Optical Brighter Compensation methodology, advanced controls for color separation and black generation, and X-Rite’s iterative profiling technology.
