X-Rite and Pantone Add New Flexo Color Libraries to PantoneLIVE

X-Rite Incorporated and Pantone LLC announced six new libraries for PantoneLIVE, a cloud-based digital color standard ecosystem. Developed with their PantoneLIVE Preferred Partner for ink supply, Sun Chemical, the six new dependent standard libraries are ideal for UV-cured flexography printers and converters allowing them to accurately match achievable Pantone Colors in label and carton applications. Consumer goods companies and designers can use the new libraries to better define, create, visualize and communicate color palettes for clear film packaging, aluminum labels and recycled cartons produced with UV-cured flexographic printing technology.“In collaboration with Sun Chemical, we are continuously evolving the PantoneLIVE platform to support a wider range of packaging applications and help designers and suppliers easily visualize on-screen how color palettes will appear in production,” said Adrián Fernández, General Manager, Pantone. “The addition of the new libraries to PantoneLIVE makes UV flexo printing with Pantone colors on labels and cartons much easier by providing printers with the official Pantone spectral targets. Today, PantoneLIVE offers over 70,000 Pantone color choices for the top packaging and printing applications, helping to speed up the entire packaging design process and get products to market faster.”
