X-Rite Pantone highlights colour management solution at Pamex

According to Mohammad Naeem Khan, colour application specialist at X-Rite, Offset360 is designed to simplify and automate colour control across the entire print production workflow. “Offset360 is a complete solution from zero to final product,” Khan said. “It includes automation, closed-loop colour control, colour analysis and colour analytics, all integrated into one system.”

The solution is aimed at print packaging converters and commercial printers and covers key stages such as pre-press, proofing, calibration, profiling and pressroom colour management. By offering a single integrated platform, X-Rite aims to improve colour consistency, reduce manual intervention and increase production efficiency. “Whether it is pre-press or proofing or calibration, everything is included,” Khan added. “It is a complete colour management solution for printers.”

In addition to Offset360, X-Rite also presented its eXact spectrophotometer condenser, one of the company’s most advanced colour measurement devices. Although launched around a year and a half ago, the product continues to generate interest due to its modern features.

“eXact comes with very unique technology,” Khan said. “It offers video preview, auto-scan, strong memory and connectivity through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and magnetic charging.”

The company also showcased solutions for metallic surface measurement, including the Ci64UV, as well as colour kitchen management systems. Its Autura Ink, a cloud-based and web-enabled application, was highlighted as a complete colour kitchen solution for both ink manufacturers and printers.

Commenting on the exhibition, Khan said Pamex delivered strong engagement, particularly in the latter half of the show. “The second and third days were very good,” he said. “We met very potential visitors who were genuinely interested in understanding colour technology.” He added that the overall quality of visitors was high, with many focused on learning and evaluating new technologies.

Looking back, Khan described 2025 as a challenging but satisfactory year due to global factors and expressed optimism for the future. “Because we are a global company, issues in one region affect business elsewhere,” he said. “But we are hopeful that 2026 will be better.”

Khan identified Offset360 as the company’s key focus for the coming year, describing it as a potential game-changer for the print and packaging industry. “We see very little competition for this kind of complete end-to-end colour solution,” he said. “That is why we are very excited about Offset360 in 2026.”
