Benefits to your business

Take out the guesswork

Forget about comparing your prints against a swatch book that could be faded or dirty. Use the Nix Print Pro software for objective color measurement that doesn’t rely on the human eye.

Streamline communication

Prove without a doubt that your prints are within the target of your reference color. Remove the back-and-forth and subjectivity of “it doesn’t look right”. The proof is in the data.

Save time

Spend less time trying to get the color right. The Nix Print Pro software lets you measure what’s coming off the press, determine if it’s in spec, and whether or not you can get it in spec simply by changing the density.

Save money

Reduce wasted materials by confirming your colors are within spec before and during the print job. Easily and quickly make adjustments throughout the job, reducing ink and paper waste.

Clear direction for density improvement

Instantly identify potential errors when measuring your ink density and get easy and actionable direction for improvement. Open the density graph for more details on how close your sample is to the target.

In spec

The measurement passes Delta E tolerance (the plot falls below the Delta E threshold). Minor adjustments to the density could possibly improve Delta E further.

In spec is possible

The measurement doesn’t pass Delta E but can be corrected to pass. Adjust density in accordance with the instructions.

In spec not possible

The measurement fails Delta E tolerances and cannot be adjusted to pass. An ink correction or maintenance of the press may be required.

Nix Print Server

By making use of the Print Server you can be confident that all your Nix Print Pro workstations have current access to the right library values without having to manually synchronize.

Hear from the experts

Using the Nix Print Pro software, I have been able to streamline my collaboration and R&D with the printer.

I am a color theory educator currently developing reference tools for artists that require precise color measurements. As someone without a technical background, I was struck by the program’s ease of use and visualizations.
