X-Rite Pantone Launches Spectura

X-Rite Pantone launched Spectura, its next-generation portable sphere spectrophotometer platform designed to connect trusted color measurement with modern quality workflows.

Combining advanced measurement performance, secure cloud connectivity, and an expandable application framework, Spectura helps manufacturers reduce color errors, accelerate decisions, and maintain consistency from the laboratory to the production floor.

Secure cloud connectivity powered by X-Rite Color iQC brings color and instrument performance data directly into digital quality workflows, reducing manual transfers. 

Quality managers can review production results in real time, identify issues earlier, reduce rework, and collaborate across locations and suppliers using a shared source of trusted color data. 

The device combines advanced optics, high-definition camera targeting, temperature-aware measurement, purpose-built accessories, secure cloud connectivity, NetProfiler integration, and future application capabilities within a single platform. 

Strong inter-instrument agreement with established X-Rite handheld and benchtop systems helps maintain alignment between established color standards and production results to reduce measurement variation and create a foundation for connected color quality management.

“Color quality can no longer be managed one instrument, facility, or supplier at a time,” said Ben Spiegel, Director of Product Management, X-Rite Pantone. “As manufacturing becomes more distributed, organizations need connected workflows that preserve the integrity of color data across every location where decisions are made. Spectura creates that foundation, helping teams reduce variability, respond faster, and improve consistency throughout the color program.”
