The software aims to help printers match spot colours accurately.
PerfectPalette will allow companies with six- and seven-colour presses to produce work that simulates spot colours without the need for additional units or press runs. X-Rite also said that it means designers will not be limited by standard spot-colour conversion tools.

Marc Levine, product manager for X-Rite's graphic arts premedia business, said: "Packaging and commercial printers will appreciate the speed, accuracy and ease of creating and customizing multiple colour libraries from Pantone or spot colour values. The end result is a precise colour match the first time, minimising ink usage and paper waste."
