IntelliTrax2
Press-side scanning
The first desktop automated scanning system. Reads a full color bar in under ten seconds, bars down to 2 mm, contactless.

The closed-loop bundle for sheetfed offset. Scan, compare, correct, without leaving the console.
The real bottleneck
Often the problem isn’t the press. It’s the reading system in front of it.
Obsolete or closed OEM measurement tools leave color inconsistent, waste material and stretch every makeready. Offset360 replaces guesswork with a connected, press-side reading system, without buying a new press.
The idea
Three pieces. One loop.
Two best-in-class X-Rite products and one Rutherford software, combined into a single workflow, plus the expert support to keep it performing.
MeasureColor
Process control & reporting
One platform for offset, flexo and digital. Real-time ΔE, ChromaTrack ink-density guidance, audit-ready reports.

Rutherford ColorLoop
Closed-loop presetting
Turns measurement data into ink-key corrections and pushes them to the console. The loop closes, automatically.

ReadingIntelliTrax2 reads the sheet, not the operator’s eye.
A desktop automated spectrophotometer that scans the full control strip across the sheet in seconds. Contactless optics prevent smudges and scratches, a look-ahead sensor aligns the bar automatically, and every zone is captured under M0, M1 or M3 in a single pass.
- Scan < 10 s
- Bars from 2 mm
- 45°/0° geometry
- M0 / M1 / M3
- Inter-instrument 0.3 ΔE avg
- Non-contact
Process controlMeasureColor turns measurements into decisions.
A client-server platform unifying offset, flexo and digital. ChromaTrack calculates the optimal ink-density correction and the expected ΔE before the operator touches a key. Jobs set up in under 30 seconds, and quality data flows into customizable, audit-ready reports, your data, on your server.
- Job setup < 30 s
- Real-time ΔE / density
- ChromaTrack guidance
- PQX · CXF · CGATS export
- Offset · flexo · digital
Closed loopRutherford ColorLoop closes the loop on the console.
CIP3 / CIP4 presets load before the press starts. As IntelliTrax2 and MeasureColor read and compare, ColorLoop converts the deltas into ink-key corrections and pushes them straight to the console. The operator validates, and the press holds color through the run, on any major press brand.

- Automatic ink-key correction

How it runs
The Offset360 loop.
- 01
Preset
CIP3 / CIP4 ink-key presets load automatically. No manual punch-in.
- 02
Scan
IntelliTrax2 reads the color bar across the sheet in seconds.
- 03
Compare
MeasureColor computes ΔE against the brand reference and flags out-of-tolerance zones.
- 04
Correct
ColorLoop pushes the corrections to the console. The operator validates. The loop closes.
