Finding Best Matching CxF/X-4 Color for a Printed Sample

If a brand color is only available as a printed sample, you can quickly find the CxF/X-4-defined color which is most similar to it. Load a CxF/X-4 library, measure the sample and ORIS CxF Toolbox will automatically select the best match. This color can be easily added to a new CxF/X-4 library, which can then be used as target values for validation measurements, for example.

  1. Measure Printed Samples
    Load a CxF/X-4 library file and measure the printed sample. The CxF/X-4 color in this file that is most similar to the measurement will be highlighted automatically. You can easily find alternatives to the best match because the colors are sorted by dE and it is indicated whether they are out of tolerance. Spectral curves, Lab charts, colorimetric data and metamerism indexes allow the color deviations to be inspected precisely.
  2. Create Validation Targets
    When measuring printed samples to find the best matching CxF/X-4 color definition, it is advisable to collect these CxF/X-4 colors in a separate library file. The colors can then be used as certification targets for print validation measurements or exported to ASE format and then imported into Adobe swatch palettes.
