IntelliTrax2 is an automated color bar scanning solution designed for mid- to large-size commercial and folding carton printers, providing high-speed, accurate color management and quality control. It delivers instant press-side color measurement with actionable data, enabling operators to make real-time adjustments for consistent, on-target color and reduced waste—empowering print professionals to meet demanding quality standards with confidence.
The IntelliTrax2 automatically adjusts its scanning head to locate color bars, speeding up sheet positioning and ensuring precise, consistent measurements every time. Its non-contact technology prevents smudging and scratching, while automated alignment and measurement deliver reliable results and improved pressroom efficiency.
By integrating IntelliTrax2 with Rutherford or another closed loop solution, you can automatically adjust ink keys using real-time spectral press sheet data. The software accelerates setup times, reduces paper waste by the same margin, and minimizes the need for manual intervention—allowing your press operators to focus on what matters most: achieving exceptional print quality, faster.
Pair IntelliTrax2 with X-Rite's MeasureColor Software to transform press-side color data into actionable insights. Instantly view real-time Delta E, density, and tonal values for faster, smarter adjustments. MeasureColor delivers robust reporting and trend analysis, helping reduce waste, improve consistency, and achieve precise color control.
