X-Rite Pantone will exhibit with its partner Esko at LabelExpo India, taking place from 29 October-1 November 2014 in Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. X-Rite will showcase its offerings that enable closed-loop colour measurement and management for label converters.
Francesco Tomasello, X-Rite’s Vice President, EMEA Sales Channels, Retail and India said, ‘In India, as in other parts of the world, label converters are being required to do more with less. That’s why we are excited to be showcasing our range of solutions at LabelExpo India. Our products are proven to help label converters reduce time at prepress, save money in their production costs and, most importantly, provide better service to their customers.’
