Reliable Performance. Simultaneous measurement of both specular-included (color) and specular-excluded (appearance) to determine influence of specular component
Consistent Measurements. Superior agreement capabilities ensure integrity of multiple-instrument color control
NetProfiler®3 Enabled. On-board system optimizes instrument performance and allows for remote certification
Seamless Transition. Operates in agreement with existing X-Rite spectrophotometers
X-Rite Ci7800/7600 Benchtop Spectrophotometer for the Textile and Apparel Industries
Process Control for Perfect Color
From concept through dyeing to manufacturing of the final product, colour fidelity across the entire supply chain is the optimal goal in the textile and apparel industries.
In a world where textiles and apparel are manufactured on an increasingly distributed and global basis, it can be challenging to ensure consistent colour throughout the entire supply chain. Using next-generation colour measurement instruments will ensure that specifications and tolerances are met. Right the first time. Right, all the time.
Precise, Consistent Sample Measurement
With older benchtop spectrophotometers, it can be difficult to determine precisely which area on the sample will be measured, resulting in wasted time with trial-and-error measurements. Use the next-generation X-Rite benchtop spectrophotometer Ci7800, a master instrument, and the Ci7600, the cost-effective compatible version. Use in combination with X-Rite NetProfiler and/or Color iMatch software for:
• Consistent and precise presentation samples for accurate sample-to-sample measurement.
• Fast measurement and comparison of samples of varying sizes.
• An audit trail that includes device condition, sample image, and parameters at the time of measurement.
• Multi-aperture design to accommodate measurement of complicated samples.
Minimize Downtime with Local Serviceability
Next-generation X-Rite Ci7800 and Ci7600 Benchtop Spectrophotometers are designed with serviceability in mind. Qualified local technicians can address most service issues on-site without the need to ship the instrument to a repair depot for servicing.
Automated Instrument Set-Up
Automated instrument set-up with easy-to-use software takes the guesswork out of instrument configuration and eliminates potential for error. Pre-load your custom job settings and reduce the learning curve for operators. Consistent measurement—a few mouse clicks away! The Ci7800 and Ci7600’s easy to read LED screen ensures operator ease of use.
The Ultimate in Flexibility
Your new Ci7800 and Ci7600 comes with up to five apertures and three automated UV filters for the utmost in measurement flexibility. Even better: The measurement lens zooms automatically when the aperture is changed.
Software Options for Improved Productivity, Reliability
By adding selected software solutions to support your X-Rite Ci7600/Ci7800, you can improve productivity and reduce errors and rework.
• Cloud-based NetProfiler to verify, optimize and certify the performance of your color measurement devices—across the plant or around the globe.
• Color iMatch for accurate colour formulation to meet customer-provided standards.
• Colour iQC to remove the guesswork from evaluating colours during the production process.
• Color iQC Taper is a colour sequencing solution that allows you to place colour data into a sequence to minimize the differences between adjacent rolls of fabric and reduce the possibility of creating shaded products.

NetProfiler 3.0
Software to maintain the accuracy and consistency of measurement devices
To your customers, you are the colour experts. They expect a lot and hold you to the highest standards. Shouldn’t the colour management instruments you use measure up to high standards as well? They will with X-Rite’s NetProfiler 3, an easy to use utility that allows you to verify, optimize, and certify the performance of your colour measurement devices.
Color iMatch
Colour Formulation Software
An intelligent solution for formulating paint, plastics, or textiles. This package enables quick, accurate color analysis and the capability to optimize every formula for cost and colour accuracy. Available in four levels for specific formulation requirements.
Color iQC
Color Quality Control Software
Whether approving submits, production samples, or finished products, Color iQC adapts to your workflow making colour fast and easy. Color iQC is a document-oriented software solution that removes the guesswork from evaluating colours. It’s easy configurability and powerful feature set allow you to simplify processes and increase efficiency while ensuring accurate colour control. Color iQC is available in a variety of configurations for specific industry and colour communication requirements.
Color i™QC Taper Option
Instrumental Color Sequencing and Clustering
Adaptive Clustering™ and 3-D Color Space Plot
Color iQC Taper Option is a colour sequencing program that allows you to use CIELab data (representing rolls of fabric) and then place that data into a sequence (taper) such that colour differences between adjacent rolls are minimized. This reduces the possibility of creating shaded products.
