PantoneLIVE Turnkey Solutions are a blend of hardware, software, training, and services that access PantoneLIVE structured to meet the individual needs of a brand owner or printer looking to accurately produce spot colors.

PantoneLIVE Qualified solutions are designed for use with legacy measurement instruments that are XRGA compliant.

PantoneLIVE Complete solutions leverage the latest X-Rite solutions, including X-Rite eXact, for even tighter tolerances.

PantoneLIVE for Printers and Converters

• PantoneLIVE QA Complete

• PantoneLIVE QA Qualified

These solutions are designed to enable printers and packaging converters to match color expectations quickly. Using spectral values and dependent standards, together with accurate on-press measurement, the press room communicates more effectively with ink suppliers and prepress. The frequency of on-press ink adjustments is reduced, resulting in improved throughput, while both makeready and running waste are minimized.

PantoneLIVE for Ink Formulation

Printers and packaging converters can choose from three different ink formulation bundled solutions:

• Ink Formulation Solution: Complete

• Ink Formulation Solution: Qualified

• Ink Formulation Solution: Add-On

By accurately mixing inks—right the first time, right every time—the need for ink reformulations is reduced and an accurate match to Pantone specifications is ensured. Overall costs and cycle time are reduced, and both printers/converters and their customers are happier with results in terms of quality, cost and time to market.

Ink Formulation Software [IFS] for Printers includes Ink Formulation Software classroom training. As an add-on, printers and converters receive access to online training that enables a fast, easy learning curve for applying PantoneLIVE to ink formulation for new and existing employees.

PantoneLIVE for Ink Manufacturers

• IFS Manufacturer Qualified

Ink manufacturers can ensure that their ink formulations are consistent from batch to batch, with fewer pressroom problems and virtually no ink reformulation requirements.
