IntelliTrax

The ultra-fast IntelliTrax system automatically scans the color bar of a typical press sheet

1

in

just 15 seconds. That's twice as fast as any competing product and fifty

2

times faster than 

handheld instruments. In addition, the system reports measurement results on-screen instantly,

so press operators can quickly make adjustments and get to acceptable color faster. 

Faster makeready
The key result of the IntelliTrax system’s high speed performance 
is faster makeready. And with the industry trend toward shorter 
press runs, the time you can gain by reducing makeready more than
justifies your investment in IntelliTrax.

Improved quality control
IntelliTrax displays real-time measurement results in a graphical 
“traffic light” report: green bars indicate good color; yellow and 
red represent values that are out of tolerance. By quickly pinpointing
problem areas, operators can bring the process back into control 
with ease prior to generating off color waste.

Extensive or expanded results reporting
As a PC-based system, IntelliTrax offers extensive data collection 
capabilities. The system generates standard reports and lets you 
customize reported attributes for management or the prepress
department. Network capability enables plant-wide integration via 
a single database. Data can be further analyzed in Excel or other 
third-party software to meet customer requirements. 

Specific reporting features include:
• Sample Report — Shows detailed color measurement information
• Job Summary Report — Select multiple attributes per job for 

management review (includes data on presses, materials and other 
production variables)

Faster ROI
Commercial printers face competitive pressure on all sides. The
IntelliTrax system saves time and reduces material waste. Making 
your company more profitable and more competitive.

The IntelliTrax standard model is an advanced, automated color management
solution for presses printing four or more colors. With the ability to measure
special/PANTONE

®

colors, non-process colors and paper color, it's ideal for

high-end, high-speed printing operations.

Included is the ability to monitor either PANTONE

®

colors or custom colors.

Custom colors can be measured using a handheld 530 spectrodensitometer or
shared from other X-Rite products, such as QCcolor, ATS or X-RiteColor Master.

• Choose from a preset list of color bar test targets 
• Configure a variety of profile generation parameters (e.g., black generation 

type and amount, ink limits, device color space, profile storage location)

• Measure the profile target independent of routine color bar measurements, 

which lets you approve the quality of the color bar before measuring the 
profile target

• View the measured target to ensure that the patches are correct
• Correct patch data, if necessary, with a 530 handheld spectrodensitometer

• IntelliTrax builds the ICC profile and saves it to a predefined location.

Evaluate color difference using industry standard metrics to ensure 
on-press color matches.

IntelliTrax D can evaluate ink trap and other densitometric measures
that allow on-press trouble shooting of color.

A special mode in IntelliTrax alerts operators to all color issues that exist
within any given printing unit.

IntelliTrax ICC takes advantage of the full power contained in X-Rite’s
MonacoPROFILER profiling engine.

IntelliTrax has the power to evaluate industry standard color difference
(

∆E) to ensure color matches customer specifications.

All versions of IntelliTrax include PANTONE

®

digital libraries to evaluate

specified colors.

IntelliTrax ICC generates profiles for up to 8 ink colors all from a 
miniature test target no larger than a multi-tier color bar.

If you need the ability to generate ICC profiles on-press, consider 
IntelliTrax ICC — a self-contained pressroom profiling solution that is 
integrated with IntelliTrax. A fast, easy-to-use solution, this capability relies
on preset profile generation parameters. IntelliTrax ICC also serves as a
link/bridge between the pressroom and the prepress department, enabling
better proof-to-press matching.

Density based measures, such as dot gain, can easily be evaluated with
any of the IntelliTrax models.

1. Based on measurement of a 40” press sheet:

• Scan speed based on non-recognition scan
• Scan speed based on 5mm wide color bar patches
• Hand-held speed based on 4 seconds per measurement/position for 200 patches at 5mm

2. 200 patches using a handheld at four seconds per patch equals 800 seconds 

(or 13 minutes) which is 52 times slower

IntelliTrax D is an entry-level solution for four-color process printing. It's
ideal for four-color houses that don't deal with complex, non-process colors.
Yet, it's easy to upgrade from the IntelliTrax D to the advanced unit as an
operation expands.

IntelliTrax D provides all basic process color control tools that are based on
industry standard densitometry metrics. This assures you of correlation to
existing densitometer systems but adds the benefit of speed and simplicity.
