American Coatings Show 2026 (ACS 2026) de Mayo 5 - 7, 2026

At American Coatings Show 2026, X-Rite Pantone demonstrates how paints and coatings manufacturers can replace subjective color decisions with standardized, data-driven processes—from formulation through production and quality control.

Connected Color Management Solutions for the Paints & Coatings Industry

Paint and coatings teams face constant pressure to achieve accurate color matches, control quality across production, and communicate color consistently throughout the supply chain. As a global leader in color measurement and management, X-Rite Pantone partners with manufacturers to solve real-world challenges across the entire production lifecycle.

At American Coatings Show 2026, we’ll show how a connected workflow—combining measurement instruments, software, visual evaluation tools, inline solutions, and expert services—helps improve first match success, accelerate approvals, reduce rework and waste, and enable more reliable, scalable manufacturing operations.

• Integrated formulation workflow that combines lab-grade sphere benchtop spectrophotometers with Color iMatch formulation software to capture accurate color data, accelerate first match success, and minimize reformulations.

• Standardized QC workflow pairing Color iQC quality control software with benchtop or portable measurement devices to apply consistent tolerances, automate pass/fail decisions, and verify color from incoming materials through final approval.

• Production monitoring workflow that links inline measurement solutions with production-ready measurement instruments to track color in real time, reduce scrap and rework, and support reliable ScaleUp.

• Aligned visual assessment workflow using Judge LED visual evaluation tools to standardize viewing conditions and ensure consistent visual decisions across teams and suppliers to complement a data-driven process.

• Ongoing optimization and compliance workflow supported by NetProfiler, maintenance plans, and training to maintain instrument performance, ensure measurement accuracy, and drive continuous improvement.
