ITASCA, Illinois, March 25, 2021 – Xeikon today announced its brand new XCS Pro 2.0, a fully automated suite of color management tools. The cloud-based XCS Pro 2.0 delivers every advantage of quality color control – predictability, repeatability and profitability. Brand owners and retailers and the current high levels of e-commerce continue to drive the need for color consistency across the whole of the print process. The new color package includes training courses plus ongoing consultancy and is offered as a ‘pay as you go’ subscription model making it simple and easy to adopt and utilize. The new XCS Pro 2.0 is available immediately for demonstration.
“Historically color management software has needed an expert to deliver results,” said Xeikon’s Color Management Expert, Bruce Dransfield, “and this takes time. Xeikon has developed its XCS Pro 2.0 as a ‘no waste’ ‘no expert’, fully automated color system. Xeikon now has the first digital dry toner, web press solution which embraces self-fixing color control, quality control and ICC profiling plus Pantone/brand color generation to meet all industry standards. Xeikon has built its new color management system’s architecture to enable it to remotely analyze, target and fix any color problem in minutes. Xeikon’s cloud-based analytical tools can diagnose any color issue, and the issue is remedied with no delays, adding to significant time savings in production.”

Xeikon wants to instill a lean approach to color management and make it practical for all their customers and users, which offers a lot of advantages:
- The quality control tools can be set to industry standards – either theoretical, ‘process corrected’ or ‘house’ standards and results are measured and traced using the new analytics in Xeikon’s cloud-based system.
- It is also possible for the operator to fix and re-verify the color quality of the print on the fly.
- Xeikon’s dry toner engines are all fitted with inline spectrophotometers to automatically make this possible during production, saving on waste and rejected jobs.
- For packaging and label printers, accurate brand colors are vitally important.
- Xeikon’s new suite of color management software contains tools that can copy and paste from a pre-printed sample to optimize the brand color for the selected substrate.
- Xeikon uses .CxF (color exchange format) in order to communicate with tools found in the analog world such as Flint Group’s VIVO or Pantone LIVE as well as proofing systems.
