Esko, AVT, X-Rite & Pantone bring closed loop color to the packaging supply chain

Esko, AVT, X-Rite & Pantone are combining their strengths: automation and collaboration solutions integrate with color technology and inline camera inspection solutions.

The integrations preserve the digital flow of data across connected systems.

The benefit? Faster time to market and ‘Right First Time’ production in smaller lot sizes reducing cost and waste. What’s more, it provides visibility and traceability on color and content quality performance driving continuous improvement KPI’s. Read the press release here.

Optimize in-line color measurement & automate color reporting

Integration between X-Rite ColorCert and AVT Spectralab

Brand owners are increasingly placing tighter color requirements on converters.

For converters in-line color measurement is sub-optimal. The job set-up is inefficient and there are no automated color reporting capabilities

This integration creates a connection between AVT Spectralab - an inline spectrophotometer - and X-Rite ColorCert.

X-Rite ColorCert Suite defines color requirements and collects press run color data to report on color performance. It now connects to AVT Spectralab in-line color measurement device. This means that job data is automatically sent to the spectro, which automatically sets up the job for inline color measurement.

During the run, the color measurements are sent directly from AVT’s Spectralab to X-Rite’s ColorCert, which collects the data and builds a color scorecard, reporting on the color quality performance of the print run to converters and Brand owners alike
