X-Rite eXact 2™ Spectrophotometer
The Most Versatile, Connected Spectrophotometer for Print & Packaging
eXact 2 is built to keep color on target from the ink kitchen to the pressroom. A color touchscreen that’s 30% larger than the original eXact, reachable in two taps or less, puts density, spectral, and QC data in front of press operators and quality managers exactly when they need it — cutting down human error and speeding up sign-off.
Mantis™ Video Targeting
eXact 2 is the first spectrophotometer with built-in video/camera targeting, so operators can see exactly where they’re measuring before they take a reading. Combined with a Digital Loupe zoom for inspecting the measured patch, this all but eliminates mis-registered readings on the press.
Faster, More Accurate Measurement
- Captures color in under 1 second with 17% faster press-side workflow than the original eXact
- Low/non-contact measurement geometry avoids smearing wet ink or scuffing delicate substrates
- Tight inter-instrument agreement (avg. 0.25 ΔEab) keeps every device on your floor reading the same
- Onboard Wi-Fi and X-Rite Link let you monitor and manage a fleet of eXact 2 devices from one dashboard
- Built-in G7® certification templates and 2-year NetProfiler-compliant verification are included
Three Models, Built for Your Substrate:
Capture color measurements on paper and corrugated with eXact 2; film, poly, and foil with eXact 2 Xp; and every ink, print, and packaging substrate — including metamerism, opacity, and color strength evaluation — with eXact 2 Plus, which measures M0, M1, M2, and M3 (polarized) simultaneously in a single pass.
What’s Included:
eXact 2 spectrophotometer, calibration/backup plate, USB-C cable, carrying case, and a 1-year warranty. Compatible with ColorCert, PantoneLIVE, and X-Rite Link cloud fleet management.
