X-Rite Receives Printing United Alliance 2024 Pinnacle Award For Autura Ink

X-Rite Inc., a global leader in colour science and technology, has announced that Autura Ink has been honoured with the Printing United Alliance 2024 Pinnacle Award for colour management and quality control. This prestigious accolade recognizes Autura Ink as a cloud-native solution that revolutionizes ink development by centralizing formulation, storage, approval, retrieval and quality control processes for offset, flexo, gravure and screen-printing inks.

“We are delighted to receive the esteemed Pinnacle Product Award,” said Ming-Pong Liu, Software Solutions Product Manager at X-Rite. “Autura Ink represents a significant advancement in ink management and quality control. By consolidating critical processes into a unified platform, ink suppliers, manufacturers and converters can expedite ink development, minimize press downtime and reduce press returns. Its modern, cloud-native architecture also ensures ease of deployment, maintenance and scalability for future business needs.”

Autura Ink simplifies data sharing across formulation, quality control, and PantoneLIVE integration, eliminating the need to switch between applications for formula validation. Seamless integration with X-Rite spectrophotometers, including the eXact 2 Family, creates a connected workflow that enhances operational efficiency.
