Overview
A 3-step workflow for companies that need to verify printed/manufactured jobs against their brand color standards.
What This Guide Covers
This guide walks you through the full Spot Color Verification workflow in ChromaChecker. You will import a color library from a CxF file, configure a project with pass/fail tolerances, connect a measuring instrument, and use CC Capture to take measurements and track results.
1
Import Color Library
Load your brand’s color specifications from a CxF or QTX file into the Color Inspector.
2
Create Project & Add Standards
Set up a Project Inspector project, link your color library, and configure ΔE tolerances.
3
Measure & Save Results
Connect your instrument in CC Capture, measure spot colors in QuickChecker, and save measurements for tracking.
Prerequisites
Before starting this workflow, confirm you have the following:
- A ChromaChecker account with access to Color Inspector and Project Inspector
- A CxF or QTX color library file containing your brand color specifications
- A supported measuring instrument (e.g. X-Rite eXact, i1Pro, CC Sphere, etc.) connected via CC Capture
- If you don’t have a color library yet, see the guide: How to Build a Brand Color Library
When to Use This Workflow
Use this workflow when a CPG brand, packaging converter, or print buyer needs to verify that a manufactured or printed job matches approved brand color specifications. The workflow supports both pass/fail spot checks and tracked production runs with historical data.
