Product Features
Technical Overview
This color management system operates by using the included X-Rite color meter to measure color patches printed by the target device. The system then analyzes these measurements and creates precise calibration profiles that adjust the printer's color output to match established standards. This process ensures that colors remain consistent across different print jobs, media types, and over the lifespan of the printer.
The technical foundation relies on the X-Rite color meter's accuracy, which is engineered for industrial and professional color measurement. The system is designed as a complete package, requiring no additional color measurement hardware, and it interfaces with the printer's color management software to apply corrections automatically.

Which printer models are compatible with this color management system?
This color management system is specifically compatible with the Xerox VersaLink C9000 Colour Printer. It is designed to integrate with that model's color management software and hardware, so it may not work with other Xerox or third-party printers without verified compatibility.
Does the system include the color meter, or is it sold separately?
Yes, the system includes the precise color meter powered by X-Rite as part of the package. You do not need to purchase a separate color measurement device; this is a complete calibration solution that combines the meter with the necessary software and integration for the compatible printer.
How does the X-Rite color meter improve color accuracy?
The X-Rite color meter provides industry-standard color measurement accuracy, capturing detailed data from printed color patches. This data is used to create precise calibration profiles that adjust the printer's color output, reducing deviations and ensuring colors remain true to standards, which is critical for professional and consistent results.
Is this system difficult to set up and use?
The system is designed for integration with the compatible Xerox printer's existing color management workflows, typically involving straightforward setup where the meter measures test prints and software applies corrections. While some technical understanding may be helpful, it automates much of the calibration process to streamline use in business environments.
What are the physical dimensions and weight of the system?
The system has an approximate weight of 2.01 pounds (910 grams), making it lightweight and portable for easy storage or movement within a workspace. Specific dimensions are not provided in the , but its compact design ensures it does not occupy significant space in office or studio settings.
