MIAC 2025 October 8 - 10, 2025

Join X-Rite at MIAC 2025, the international exhibition of paper industry, where we will be showcasing, together with our partner B.F.G., our inline color management solutions for paper mills.

Meet X-Rite at MIAC 2025 on Stand B1-1307!

Producing accurate color on paper can be difficult. If the color drifts at any point in the production of laminated, testliner, security, colored, or white papers, with or without optical brightening agents (OBA), the entire roll is wasted and must be reworked. This is resource-intensive, time-consuming, and costly. To keep color and brightness in harmony, paper manufacturers must constantly monitor color on fast-running paper machines.

Today’s advanced inline and closed-loop solutions lead to more stable and consistent color workflows while reducing start-up times and cutting shade change times by up to 50 percent, saving on dye usage, and minimizing waste and rework. This also helps save energy and water resources to meet sustainability initiatives.

Join our color experts at MIAC to discover how to manage color across your entire production process — from inspecting incoming raw materials and measuring pulp before production, to in-line measurement between the press and dryer with strong lab correlation for laminated paper, and finally reel-up with automatic closed-loop quality control. Ensure consistent color and brightness at every stage of your workflow.

Featured Inline Color Measurement Solutions:

• ColorXRA 45 is a non-contact inline spectrophotometer with standardized 45°:0° measurement geometry and spectral resolution of 1 nm to maintain tight tolerances, plus temperature and dirt detection sensors to warn of issues that could impact final color.
• ESWin Quality Control Software is a customizable software solution that integrates with inline spectrophotometers to evaluate OBAs and control color quality, evaluate trends, and send instructions to correct current or emerging problems. ESWin can connect for bi-directional communication to any process control or ERP system using OPC.

Featured solutions for Quality Control:

• Ci7600 benchtop spectrophotometer in the lab automatically correlates with the inline spectrophotometer. With this complete solution, operators always have the same color values in the lab, eliminating errors caused by manual entry.
• MetaVue™ VS3200 Non-Contact Imaging Spectrophotometer revolutionizes color formulation processes, production color checks, and quality control operations with its breakthrough non-contact imaging spectrophotometer technology.
• Ci64 Handheld Spectrophotometer: X-Rite’s most precise and accurate handheld sphere spectrophotometer, the Ci64 is available in multiple configurations with simultaneous SPIN/SPEX, correlated gloss, and a UV option to accurately measure uneven surfaces on a variety of products and packaging types.
