The strategic acquisition of Colorware B.V. will extend X-Rite’s ability to provide real-time colour management solutions for converters, printers and packaging specialists, allowing for more efficient and accurate colour management.
Colorware is a leader in converter-friendly colour management software solutions for the production of printed goods and packaging. Colorware’s flagship product, MeasureColor, has built a strong reputation in serving print production needs for both print producers and print buyers, simplifying colour quality control processes and workflows.
As the packaging printing industry continues the path to digitisation and workflow automation, MeasureColor’s feature-rich, user-friendly interface will create a complimentary offering for converters and brands alike. It will empower printers and packaging converters to achieve lower costs through real-time colour control at the press while reporting conformance and quality to brand customers. The acquisition will enable X-Rite to offer a complete, integrated solution that combines its highly-regarded hardware and software with Colorware’s specialised colour management technology, designed to meet the needs of printing and packaging converters.
‘By bringing Colorware’s expertise and solutions into X-Rite, we can better serve our customers with seamless, end-to-end colour management offerings,’ said Jeff McKee, President, X-Rite. ‘Our customers need tools that are precise, user-friendly, and efficient while reducing waste and ensuring colour consistency from concept to finished product. The addition of Colorware to X-Rite will enable us to offer even greater fidelity to our customers.’
With increasing demands for faster production cycles and consistent quality in the global printing and packaging industries, the combination of X-Rite’s hardware and Colorware’s software will enable converters to meet the rigorous requirements of production environments. Incorporating Colorware’s products into X-Rite’s rich portfolio of colour measurement instruments and software will provide customers with enhanced control, data integration, and the ability to achieve precise colour matches across various substrates and processes.
‘Joining the X-Rite team offers an incredible opportunity to explore new markets and further integrate both our technologies to bring innovative state-of-the-art MeasureColor solutions to brand owners, premedia companies and printers/converters worldwide,’ said Erik Koldenhof, Director, Colorware B.V.
