Measure with eXact 2 Xp

You can measure color patches on a page using the X-Rite eXact 2 Xp spectrophotometer.

When you select the eXact 2 Xp as your measurement method, you can set the instrument settings:

Measurement mode - Select the type of measurement that you want. You measure each strip in one pass.
- M0 - One pass, UV included
- M1 - One pass, D50 UV included
- M2 - One pass, UV cut
Patch size - Choose from the available patch sizes: Normal (Default), Medium, and Large. If Large is selected, larger patches are printed to allow for better measurements with a low-resolution printer. The measurement method is the same for all patches regardless of patch size.

You should select your connection setting by choosing USB or Network.

When a page has been successfully measured, you can check the measurements. If any measurements are not as expected, you can remeasure the strip.

Place the patch page on a smooth, even surface.
When the screen indicates that the eXact 2 Xp is measuring, place the eXact 2 Xp in the white space above or below the strip specified on the screen.
Hold down the button and slide the eXact 2 Xp along the strip of patches slowly and at an even pace.
Release the button when the eXact 2 Xp reaches the white space at the end.
After you successfully measure one strip of patches, move the eXact 2 Xp to the white space at the beginning of the next strip.
Continue to measure the remaining strips in the same manner until you have measured all patches on the page.
Continue to measure the remaining patch pages (if any) in the same manner until you have measured all patch pages.
After you measure the last page, click Next.
