Ray Cheydleur, Printing and Imaging Product Portfolio Manager, X-Rite said, ‘With commercial printers facing increased job throughput and tighter turnaround times, operators need tools that help automate reoccurring tasks such as manually measuring colour bar patches. The eXact Auto-Scan enables automated and quick measurement of all patches of a colour bar in under 15 seconds. This can reduce makeready times by 30 per cent compared to manual scans for improved operational productivity and efficiencies.’
