X-Rite Pantone launches new Ci7860 benchtop spectrophotometre

Latest from X-Rite is the introduction of the company’s new benchtop spectrophotometers added to its Ci7x00 family. This newly unpacked Ci7860 is the industry’s most advanced colour measurement instrument. It reduces the margin of error when communicating colour specifications for plastics, coatings or textiles across the supply chain and ensures the highest level of colour accuracy and control throughout the entire production process. X-Rite created the Ci7860 in response to feedback from consumer brands seeking a new level of colour consistency. These companies have recognized the growing importance of colour in consumers’ purchasing decisions.

The new Ci7860 has an inter-instrument agreement specification of 0.06 average Delta E*; this represents a 25 percent improvement over other sphere spectrophotometers. As a result, the Ci7860 enables brands to create the most precise master colour standards and communicate these digitally, in place of physical samples, to supply chain partners. Suppliers can use the Ci7860 or other devices in the Ci7x00 family to verify that both samples and the final product are achieving customers’ strictest colour tolerances.
