Achieve Color That Stands Out with X-Rite
Innovative color, texture and appearance attract consumers to help elevate a product from the rest. An essential part of attracting consumers is also ensuring that a product's color and appearance is consistent. Achieving that unique color and ensuring it is repeated across a global supply chain increases brand equity. From home furnishings to small kitchen appliances, X-Rite offers the expertise and technology to help durable goods manufacturers produce accurate and repeatable color.
Controlled lighting, the right spectrophotometer and color quality software, are all essential components to a successful color program and will ensure long term accuracy. With a range of color measurement solutions, X-Rite is uniquely positioned to help ensure our customers have the right tools and technology to implement a holistic digital color solutions workflow that will deliver high quality color.
Learn how X-Rite technology can help durable goods manufacturers measure complex colors found in durable goods:
- Concept and quickly communicate color palettes to internal stakeholders and supply chain partners.
- Ensure color cohesiveness and color accuracy in cross-merchandised product categories.
- Visualize color, texture, and other appearance characteristics like gloss and special effects, both physically and digitally to expedite product development.
- Measure color accurately and consistently on opaque, non-opaque or translucent samples
- Optimize color formulation with software that can accelerate color development through better first match performance and with fewer correction steps.
- Ensure all stakeholders are utilizing the same digital color standards from design to color formulation and quality control to ensure consistent color across a network of suppliers.
- Visually evaluate your samples under proper lighting conditions using an industry standard light booth, fit-to-finish rooms or luminaires that offer up to 7 different light sources.
- Assess an entire network of manufacturing suppliers to ensure their process and overall color program are fit to meet the strictest color specifications.
