Ci7860 is the industry’s most advanced measurement instrument enabling plastics, coatings and textile companies to achieve the strictest standards for colour accuracy and consistency.

X-Rite Incorporated, a global leader in colour science and technology, and its subsidiary Pantone LLC, will debut the new Ci7860 benchtop sphere spectrophotometer at this week’s K 2016 in Düsseldorf, Germany. The newest member of X-Rite’s Ci7x00 family of benchtop spectrophotometers, the Ci7860 is the industry’s most advanced colour measurement instrument.

It reduces the margin of error when communicating colour specifications for plastics, coatings or textiles across the supply chain and ensures the highest level of colour accuracy and control throughout the entire production process.

X-Rite created the Ci7860 in response to feedback from consumer brands seeking a new level of colour consistency. These companies have recognised the growing importance of colour in consumers’ purchasing decisions.

Visible variations in the colour of products and packaging can impact both consumers’ perceptions of quality and retail sales. In response, brands are establishing stricter standards to minimise colour variation in their products. Achieving these standards consistently, however, can be a challenge.
