eXact 2 FAQs
A portable spectrophotometer is used in print and packaging to measure color accurately and objectively. It helps teams control ink performance, verify color against standards, reduce visual guesswork, shorten make-ready, and maintain consistency from formulation through production.
Yes, eXact 2 handheld spectrophotometers are designed for real print and packaging production environments. They are built to withstand dust, drops, and daily pressroom use while maintaining accurate color measurement.
In testing, eXact 2 operated continuously in dusty conditions with minimal impact on color performance, and drop testing confirmed it can endure typical handling without affecting functionality. Together, this ensures reliable, consistent color control in demanding production settings.
Unlike many handheld spectrophotometers that focus on just accuracy or features, eXact 2 delivers a complete color measurement solution for print and packaging. It combines precise measurement, easy operation, and integrated workflow software in a scalable platform so you can improve color consistency, reduce waste, and choose the right model for your workflow.
Choosing the right eXact 2 depends on the substrate you are measuring and workflow requirements. Some may prioritize speed and ease of use, while other teams may need broader substrate support or require advanced formulation tools. Comparing models (hyperlink "Comparing models" to the compare models page) based on your workflow, substrates, and level of control needed will help you find the best fit.
eXact 2 portable spectrophotometers are designed for key print and packaging roles, each with distinct goals and challenges.
- Press Operators: measure the right patch faster with less guesswork.
- Print Quality Managers: gain consistent, objective color data and better process visibility.
- Production Managers: reduce make-ready time, waste, and rework while improving throughput.
- Purchasing or Finance Managers: achieve the right fit for their workflow without overinvesting.
- Ink Technician: create more accurate, repeatable formulations with cleaner measurement.
