X-Rite Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Pantone have announced that it will showcase its latest line of print and pre-press color management solutions at Graphics of The Americas, February 25-27, 2010 at the Miami Beach Convention Center, Miami Beach, FL.

Graphic of The Americas visitors will also be able to attend a speaker session led by one of X-Rite's color experts for the Latin American markets: Helmut Schubart. Entitled "Untangling the Color Pretzel Seminar" this session will look color space selection and color sample strategies. It will take place on Friday, February 26 from 10:30am to 12:00pm pm in the Expo Theater, right on the show floor.

Together with Latin American distributor Printex, X-Rite (booth 632 and 634) will be displaying and demonstrating a number of design, prepress and print workflow solutions including:

EasyTrax: a semi-automated, highly affordable quality color control solution for smaller format color presses or those working in a primarily process color environment. It is ideally suited to meet the needs of printers who regularly monitor press runs to ensure they precisely match their customers' quality requirements, and meet industry specifications and standards. In addition, EasyTrax's laser alignment method makes it quick and easy to line up the color bar for fast scanning. The unique error detection system will alert the user if the color bar was not properly aligned, ensuring accurate, repeatable results every time.

SpectroEye: this portable, handheld spectrophotometer offers all the functions necessary to accurately measure and control color. It also features all the density measurement functions needed to quickly and easily monitor and control color thickness on-press. SpectroEye integrates digital versions of the most popular color libraries such as the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM and the PANTONE Goe System.
