X-Rite to present new software at European Coatings Show 2011

X-Rite also will demonstrate how its new family of multi-angle and non-contact spectrophotometers, Capsure mobile device, X-ColorQC software and other products can help companies involved in manufacturing or application of coatings to monitor and maintain precise control of colour in their processes.

"After introducing breakthrough colour measurement innovations such as Capsure and the iVue and MA9X family of spectrophotometers, X-Rite is now expanding its solution offerings to include powerful new tools for the architectural paint market," says X-Rite Vice President Market and Product Marketing Sonia Megert.

Two new software suites for the architectural paint market
One software package centres on paint tinting of custom-mixed paints, while the other helps professionals and retail customers to visualise how paints will look on finished projects. Both software packages have been developed to readily accept colour information from Capsure and will add new versatility to the mobile device, says the company.

According to X-Rite, Capsure gives professional painters, interior decorators, do-it-yourselfers and architects a convenient way to accurately image and measure the colours of walls, carpets or any textured inspiration object on-site and match those colours with an electronic fan deck of tens of thousands of paint chips.

The company also will be unveiling NetProfiler 3, the latest iteration of its NetProfiler software that is used by coatings and paint manufacturers worldwide to remotely adjust and certify the performance of their spectrophotometers, ensuring accurate and reliable colour data is used throughout their supply chains.
