Use this dialog to create CxF/X-4 files by measuring the spectral reflectance of spot ink characterization charts or single spot color patches.

Use this dialog to edit and save the CxF/X-4 data you have obtained by measuring spot colors. You can view the spectral curves, add or correct the CxF/X-4 metadata and rename or delete color definitions. Finally save the spot color definitions as CxF/X-4 files.

Use this dialog to create CxF/X-4 files from the color data stored in CGATS measurement files, legacy CxF1/CxF2/CxF3 files, and QTX files. It is also possible to import the CxF/X-4 color data stored in PDF/X documents and existing CxF/X-4 files. You can view the spectral curves, add or correct the CxF/X-4 metadata and rename or delete color definitions. This is a single-color editing mode.

Use this dialog to create CxF/X-4 files from the color data stored in CGATS measurement files, legacy CxF1/CxF2/CxF3 files and QTX files. It is also possible to import the CxF/X-4 color data stored in PDF/X documents and existing CxF/X-4 files. This is a bulk-edit mode which allows you to quickly change a set of spot color definitions in one go. The CxF/X-4 metadata of multiple colors can be modified and some or all colors can be deleted.

Use this dialog to inspect the spectral reflectance curves and metadata information for spot colors defined in CxF1, CxF2, CxF3, CxF/X-4, QTX, PDF and CGATS measurement files. All metadata fields are read-only to protect them against modifications.

Use this dialog to assign CxF/X-4 color definitions to the spot colors in a PDF/X file. You can extract or remove CxF/X-4 color definitions and view the spectral curves and metadata. It is also possible to change the ink sequence and to extract the embedded output intent profile or to embed a profile if missing.

Use this dialog to download jobs with CxF/X-4-defined spot colors from the Global Brand Assurance web server. The color definitions can then be used in the same way as CxF/X-4 files stored on your local file system.

Use this dialog to check print quality by measuring a spot ink characterization chart against the CxF/X-4 color definitions. The application provides an instant pass/fail indication and various charts for assessing the deviations both visually and numerically. Process colors can be checked against the target values defined in the PDF/X output intent or a user-defined ICC profile. The validation results can be saved as a PQX file and displayed as a report.

Use this dialog to check print quality by measuring a spot ink characterization chart against the CxF/X-4 color definitions. The application provides an instant pass/fail indication and various charts for assessing the deviations both visually and numerically. The measurement results can be uploaded to the Global Brand Assurance web server, which provides a wide range of reporting and analysis tools.

A report provides important data for design, proofing, ink formulation and process control. The data is presented both graphically and numerically. There are reports on CxF/X-4 color definitions and also validation reports. The latter allow you to precisely compare your measurements with the target values defined by the CxF/X-4 data.

Use this dialog to quickly find the CxF/X-4-defined spot color which is as similar as possible to the color of a printed sample. Load a CxF/X-4 library and measure the sample. The best matching color will be highlighted and can be saved as a new CxF/X-4 file.

The metadata information identifies the conditions in which the spot color was created and provides important data for all supply chain partners. Tolerance values for print validation are also included. Click the buttons to expand the metadata groups if required.

Use this dialog to save the spectral data and metadata information in CxF/X-4 format.
