X-RITE GRETAGMACBETH

EXAMOLITE LUMINARIES

Convenient overhead light source for daylight viewing.

These light sources are suspended above your viewing area to provide

accurate, simulated daylight for visual evaluation of color.

Prismatic tempered diffusing glass ensures excellent

brightness control and visual comfort.

Examolites is used for quality control, grading, sorting, metamerism testing,

and Product evaluation.

Examolite provides the same lighting conditions customers use to accept or

reject your color choice or match.

Two models are available: SD840B features three different light sources:

1. Daylight (your choice of D75, D65 or D50)

2. Cool White Fluorescent (typical office lighting)

3. Incandescent (home lighting)

TC440B permits color evaluation under blended North Sky Daylight D75 as

used for sorting, grading and general evaluation under north sky daylight.

An optional matte white, UV-stabilized 1/9-inch acrylic is available for

diamond grading and food applications.

JUDGE II, JUDGE IIS, JUDGE III

Whether you’re making a presentation, designing or selecting product

color, any of The Judge color viewing systems is invaluable for evaluating

product color quality and uniformity.

Designed to operate anywhere in the world.

GretagMacbeth’s seven-phosphor fluorescent daylight technology renders

color more accurately than typical three-phosphor fluorescent technology

which intensifies blues and greens while graying reds, resulting in less

accurate color matches.

The patented GretagMacbeth lamps provide the closest daylight simulation

available in a fluorescent source, delivering the highest Color Rendering

Index (CRI) in the industry.

Gives More accurate color approvals with multiple, switchable light

sources.



An important benefit of evaluating colors under multiple light sources is the

ability to detect metamerism. This phenomenon occurs when colors appear

to match under one set of viewing conditions but fail to match under

another.

By combining ultraviolet with the daylight source, The Judge achieves theclosest match to natural daylight.

Ultraviolet can be used by itself or in combination with any of the light

sources for the detection or evaluation of optical brighteners, whitening

agents or fluorescent dyes and pigments. The many advanced features of

The Judge will help you make critical color decisions with greater accuracy

and confidence.

The Judge III offers users the unique ability to adjust and store in memory

the light intensity for each of the light sources. With the same dependable

quality and lamp options as in The Judge II products. The Judge III provides two modes of operation.

All light sources can be preset at the desired reduced intensity or can

operate at full intensity.

Desired intensities are independently set and stored in nonvolatile

memory. The Judge III is ideal for simulating actual lighting environments

to demonstrate how products will be seen at different light levels or to

provide visual correlation with desktop publishing or CAD applications.

GretagMacbeth offers two patented daylight simulation technologies.

SpectraLight®

filtered tungsten halogen technology for critical color

decisions and seven-phosphor fluorescent technology for relative color

assessment.

Easy-access panel simplifies lamp replacement, plus all lamps are readily

available.

Daylight is evenly balanced across the visible spectrum – it has equal

amounts of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet light energy.

That means it more accurately renders color. Without this balance, colors

aren’t rendered precisely causing the light source to accentuate certaincolors while suppressing others. Even slight deficiencies or excesses in light

energy could skew your color perception causing you to approve or reject

samples containing error.

Daylight

D5000K –Noon sky daylight for graphic arts applications.



D6500K –Average north sky daylight for industrial color management

including automotive, consumer electronics, appliances, textile and

apparel, home furnishings and others. Specified by industry.

D7500K –North sky daylight for graphic arts pressroom applications

commonly used years ago to compensate for harder to control yellow ink;sorting and grading textile white goods; and produce evaluations.

Horizon

Commonly used in textile and automotive applications.

Cool White Fluorescent/TL84/U30

Simulates office, in-store or showroom floor lighting.

Incandescent

Simulates home and store accent lighting.

UV5X

Higher intensity (five times that of the sun) for detecting optical brighteners

and fluorescent whitening agents in paper, textiles and plastics.

UV

The amount of UV found in natural daylight for simulating the effects of

optical brighteners and fluorescent whitening agents on color.

MACBETH LIGHTING ADVANTAGES

Eliminate False Readings. Daylight-based technology assures lighting is

evenly balanced across the color spectrum, providing a consistent, accurate

rendering of color.

Avoid Metamerism Issues. Multiple light sources allow for viewing under

different conditions, removing the risk of metamerism, a condition in which

samples matched under one light source do not match under another

Organize Color Programs. Precise technology enables an entire supply

chain to efficiently manage color decisions

Targeted Choices. Products allow for selection based on overall color

requirements, product type, and industry demands.

Easy to Use. Products and components are readily available and designedfor easy access for servicing and lamp replacement

IntelliTraxTM with

Dynamic Polarization

The X-Rite IntelliTrax series is the sheet fed printing industry's fastest and

smartest line of auto scanning systems for press-side color control.



IntelliTrax uses a spectrophotometer system to measure and analyze color.

Spectral data provides the most complete and accurate description of each

color IntelliTrax is the ideal control system for both process and special

color print jobs.

Equipped with a hand-held spectrophotometer to give operators theoption of spot checking ink color at critical locations.

Combining the capabilities of the spectrophotometer and densitometer in a

single automated measuring head, the IntelliTrax measures ink density as

well as spectral reflectance for color control.

Density has proven to be the best measurement parameter for process

control in printing.

There is a direct correlation between ink film thickness and density which

provides for a way to regulate the inking controls on the press.

The addition of spectral measurement capabilities in the system providesspecific appearance information to identify and control the most

demanding special colors as well as provides critical color data required to

generate ICC press profiles for color management.

It is a standard practice in many regions of the world to employ

densitometers equipped with polarization filters in the measurement path

to obtain density information which minimizes the measured difference

between wet and dry ink films.

However, accurate evaluation of color by spectrophotometry cannot be

achieved through the use of polarized measurements. Therefore, the

challenge is to provide both polarized density measurements and color

measurements without polarization in a single system.

The new option, Dynamic Polarization (DP), allows for the measurement of

polarized density while still providing nonpolarized color data within the

same instrument.

It gives Simultaneous reading of polarized density and un-polarized color

within the same measurement head.

VipPAQ

It is a Inline color density measuring system.

It performs quality checking in the actual print situation at the control

console for true real-time job control with no need to slow down the press

or extract pages.



vipPAQ displays any deviations in substrate, viscosity, speed, pressure

temperature and ink impurities while the job is running so immediate

corrective action can be taken.

FRANSWORTH MUNSELL 100 HUE TEST

This test is the industry standarad for determining color discrimination &

identifying color deficiencies. This portable 15 minute test analyzes how

accurately you see color.

The software indicates where you have color vision deficiencies such as

color blindness.

Test is simple: under controlled lighting arrange four sets of precisely

colored caps in order from one hue to another. Each wrong placement

reveals a different type of color vision deficiency.

The test result indicates following points:

1.

A numeric score indicating how well you discriminate different color will beranked against normal color vision, with result of low, avg or superior.

2. If you have color vision defect software identifies where color confusion

lies.

3. Test results will also be charted graphically to help you see the color areas

where you have made errors.



It is a std testing for color discrimination for over 50 years.

It is produced by munsell color of X-RITE & specified by American soc for

testing & material in ASTME 1499 & by AATCC (American association of

textile chemists & colorists).

MUNSELL COLOR ORDER SYSTEM

The Munsell Color Order System is an accepted method, worldwide, for

precise color specification.

Hue (H) is the actual “color” that follows a natural order of red (R), yellow

(Y), green (G), blue (B) and purple (P).

Between each were intermediate hues yellow-red (YR), green-yellow (GY),blue green (BG), purple-blue (PB) and red-purple (RP). Arranged in an

equally divided circle, these colors form the Munsell Hue Circle.

Value (V) indicates the lightness of a color.

The scale of value ranges from 0 for pure black to 10 for pure white.

Black, white and the grays between them are called “neutral colors.” They

have no hue. Colors that have a hue are called “chromatic colors.” The

value scale applies to chromatic as well as neutral colors.

Chroma (C) is the degree of departure of a color from the neutral color of

the same value. Colors of low chroma are sometimes called “weak,” while

those of high chroma are said to be “highly saturated,” “strong” or “vivid.”

The chroma scale starts at zero, for neutral colors, but there is no arbitrary

end to the scale. As new pigments have become available, Munsell color

chips of higher chroma have been made for many hues and values.

The chroma scale for normal reflecting materials extends beyond 20 in

some cases. Fluorescent materials may have chromas as high as 30

All colors are arranged three-dimensionally according to hue, value and

chroma creating the Munsell Color Space. Using the Munsell nomenclature HV/C, our vivid red example would have

the Munsell notation 5R 6/14. 5R is the hue (red), 6 is the value

(moderately light), and a 14 chroma indicates a highly chromatic color.

When a finer division is needed for any of the attributes, decimals are used.

For example, 5.3R 6.1/14.4.



When the hues of the primary hue circle are used, the notation is written

in the same way, for example 2B’ 5/4.

The notation for a neutral color is written: NV/. The chroma of a neutral

color is zero, but it is customary to omit the zero in the notation.

The notation N1/ denotes a black, a very dark neutral, while N 9/ denotes awhite, a very light neutral. The notation for a middle gray is N 5/.

MUNSELL COLOUR SPACE:

Munsell hue, value and chroma can be varied independently so that all

colors can be arranged according to the three attributes in a three

dimensional space.

The neutral colors are placed along a vertical line, called the “neutral axis,”

with black at the bottom, white at the top, and all grays in between. The

different hues are displayed at various angles around the neutral axis.

The chroma scale is perpendicular to the axis, increasing outward. This

three-dimensional arrangement of colors is called the “Munsell color

space.”

Each Custom Color Standard comes with a Munsell System notation.

Color standards can be produced to match a variety of color and

appearance characteristics including opaque, translucent, transparent,

fluorescent, textured, pearlescent, and metallic

COLOUR CONTROL PANELS:

The single-color control panel represents the master standard or specific

target color. It provides a reference for visual assessment or a target for

color matching with an instrument-based color system.

The two-step painted panel represents either of a min/max tolerance range

for two colors or an appearance standard for a single color at two gloss

levels. For visual assessment of products with wider tolerances, the three

step painted panel includes the target color plus two tolerance limits.

Each labeled panel is packaged in a light-proof envelope with the notation

and data needed to ensure accurate color reproduction.

Color control panels can be produced in a variety of painted substrates or

textured surfaces. They are also available in a washable form for

applications requiring a more durable, cleanable surface, such as food

applications.

COLOUR TOLERANCE SET:



The Color Tolerance Set shows the target color plus acceptable limits held

in tolerance around the ideal or centroid color.

The tolerance limits are all defined as being a Light, Dark, Red, Green, Blue

or Yellow limit

when compared to the target color. The different types of Color ToleranceSets are defined by the number of limits that are incorporated into the

Color Tolerance Set.

So a seven-step Color Tolerance Set would have a target color plus a Light

limit, Dark limit, Red limit, Green limit, Blue limit and Yellow limit.

The Color Tolerance Sets are available in

four configurations:

Three-Step = target + two limits

Seven-Step = target + six limits

Nine-Step = target + six limits + two gloss levels Ten-Step = target + six limits + three gloss levels

COLOUR CHECKER:

The ColorChecker is a checkerboard array of 24 scientifically prepared

colored squares in a wide range of colors. Many of these squares represent

natural objects of special interest, such as human skin, foliage and blue sky.

These squares are not only the same color as their counterparts, but also

reflect light

The same way in all parts of the visible spectrum. Because of this uniquefeature, the squares will match the colors of natural objects under any

illumination and with any color reproduction process.

Some of its applications include:

Digital Photography: Check images, output, monitors

Traditional Photography: Check films, lights, filters and paper

Graphic Arts: Check any printing or proofing process

Digital Imaging: Check scanners, monitors and proofing devices

Cinematography, Television and Video: Check cameras, monitors,

lights and film.

The ColorChecker Gray Scale permits quick set-up of the proper studio

lighting ratio between main and fill lights for capturing accurate color

without a lot of after-the-fact manipulation. In addition, the ColorChecker

Gray Scale provides reference values that can quickly be checked and used

to adjust colors within most common photo processing software packages.



White Balance, Gray Balance, and Gray Scale

solutions enhance overall photo quality by providing:

A precise, uniform surface that is spectrally neutral under all lighting

conditions
