Rite offers both handheld/portable and benchtop spectrophotometers, each suited to different workflows and measurement needs.

Handheld and Portable Modelse

Xact 2: A handheld spectrophotometer with video targeting and Digital Loupe zoom technology, ideal for printers, converters, and ink suppliers. It supports fast, accurate measurements on a variety of surfaces. Ci64: X-Rite's most precise handheld spectrophotometer, available in multiple configurations, often paired with Color iQC software for advanced color management in plastics, coatings, and textiles.

Ci62: A portable sphere spectrophotometer designed for reflective or textured surfaces, ensuring accurate color measurement in field or lab environments. These portable devices are lightweight, mobile, and suitable for on-site color verification, metamerism detection, and pass/fail quality control. Benchtop ModelsCi7600: A mid-range benchtop sphere spectrophotometer for labs, R&D, and production, offering end-to-end color management when combined with X-Rite software.

Ci7500: Reflectance benchtop spectrophotometer for opaque materials, ideal for lab and quality control professionals. Ci4200/Ci4200UV: Compact benchtop solutions for small to medium manufacturers, supporting color QC and formulation software. Benchtop models provide high precision, repeatability, and scalability, making them suitable for rigorous laboratory and production environments.

ApplicationsX-Rite spectrometers are used for: Color quality control in manufacturing and printingFormulation of paints, coatings, and plasticsVerification of color consistency across batches and materialsReducing rework and material waste by ensuring accurate color from the start Software IntegrationMany X-Rite spectrometers integrate with software like Color iQC or Color iMatch, enabling automated color analysis, reporting, and workflow optimization. This integration helps reduce errors, speed up production, and maintain consistent color standards. Purchasing and PricingX-Rite spectrometers are available through distributors and online platforms.

Prices vary by model and configuration, for example: Ci60 handheld: Approx. ₹550,000Ci4200 benchtop: Approx. ₹1,250,000Ci7600 benchtop: Approx. ₹1,800,000 These instruments often include options for USB or Bluetooth connectivity and can store thousands of reference samples for fast access. ConclusionX-Rite spectrometers provide reliable, precise, and versatile color measurement solutions for industries where color accuracy is critical. Choosing between handheld, portable, or benchtop models depends on workflow requirements, material types, and the level of precision needed.

Integration with X-Rite software enhances their utility, making them a comprehensive solution for color management and quality control.
