Next-Generation Portable Color Measurement: eXact™ 2
The print market offers considerable opportunities for growth and profitability, but reproducing color consistently across multiple devices, workflows, and substrates can be challenging. If your goal is to ensure repeatable output accuracy shift after shift, X-Rite’s new eXact ™ 2 portable spectrophotometer is for you.
Introducing the eXact 2
The eXact 2 is designed to bring the ink, print, and packaging workflow together in one device. eXact 2 is more than just a measurement tool, it’s a complete solution that sits at the center of an integrated color workflow.
What Sets eXact 2 Apart from Other Devices?
With eXact 2, you can measure and seamlessly verify customer requirements two times faster and with higher accuracy than other devices, freeing up time to generate additional revenue. Here’s how.
Video Targeting Technology
Using patented, first-of-its-kind Mantis™ high-resolution video targeting technology, a 30% larger display, and a touch-screen interface, you can see and zoom up to 10 times on a color patch for an inspection right on the device screen. Digital Loupe functionality provides dynamic zoom capabilities to capture and inspect the right spot without measuring print defects and can even save an image of the measurement for compliance.

Intelligent Interface and Ergonomic Design
eXact 2 has a new adjustable tilt touch screen and an easy-to-use "two taps or less" menu structure, which means less time looking through menus and faster training for new operators. In addition, eXact 2 measures without contact, minimizing contamination with wet ink for fewer re-measurements and less substrate waste.
Seamless Workflow Integration
eXact 2 is the first color measurement device that connects to a full ecosystem of software tools, including InkFormulation Software, ColorCert™ Suite for print quality control, PantoneLIVE™ digital color libraries, and NetProfiler® for device optimization. This connectivity can help you meet quality standards 17% faster.
Connectivity to X-Rite Link
Every eXact 2 model comes with the new X-Rite Link platform, a cloud-based dashboard that provides real-time insights into device performance. From one central location, customers can verify the status of one or a fleet of devices, configure and distribute updates and libraries, and more.
Main Benefits for Ink Suppliers
eXact 2 is tailored to the unique needs of ink companies, enabling you to communicate clear color data with printers and converters. The non-contact measurement area prevents wet ink contamination, minimizing the need to re-measure, and the My Tool feature is designed to help your ink kitchen complete jobs quicker and with less waste. In addition, close integration with X-Rite's InkFormulation Software accelerates color development through better match performance and reduced proofing and built-in process control tools for the ink kitchen and pressroom support G7, PSO, and Japan Color.
Main Benefits for Commercial Print and Packaging Converters
Procuring printing materials is expensive and difficult. With built-in scanning and an intuitive design, the eXact 2 can help you get to make-ready color in less time, saving wasted substrate and ink while maximizing press output across a shift. In fact, with eXact 2, printers and converters can meet quality standards 17% faster than alternative solutions to make even the most color-critical customers happy.
The eXact 2 Family
eXact 2 is available worldwide in three models. With the eXact 2, you can capture color measurements on paper, corrugated, and carton board substrates. The eXact 2 Xp captures film, plastic, foil with white opaque, and other unique substrates. The eXact 2 Plus offers advanced paper and flexible film control with the ability to measure metamerism, opacity, and absolute and relative color strength.
