(X-Rite: Grand Rapids, MI) -- X-rite, a global leader in color science and technology, has launched its CiF3200 imaging spectrophotometer. It’s designed for color measurement of small, odd-shaped, multicolored, and highly reflective items.

With a minimum measurement area of just 2 mm, the CiF3200 enables manufacturers to set and communicate digital color standards for small components, improving quality control and reducing rework. It’s ideal for applications where detail, consistency, and accuracy are essential, such as luxury goods, consumer electronics, and plastic components.

The CiF3200 combines advanced features such as virtual apertures ranging from 2–12 mm, onscreen targeting for precise sample alignment, and automatic multicolor extraction to deliver fast, repeatable color measurements and support objective, data-driven evaluation.

The CiF3200 sphere benchtop spectrophotometer offers simultaneous SPIN/SPEX capability. It enables brilliance measurement, which is critical for quality control on metals and materials that may exhibit visual variation due to surface finishing and metallic reflection. Whether maintaining color harmony for luxury watches or verifying part-to-part consistency on small molded goods, the CiF3200 helps manufacturers elevate quality with confidence and efficiency.

“With the CiF3200, we’re addressing a unique need in the industry—how to consistently measure color on small or oddly shaped parts,” says Dave Visnovsky, X-Rite product manager. “By combining advanced targeting and imaging with sphere measurement technology and an aperture as small as 2 mm, the CiF3200 allows customers to digitize their standards and streamline quality control in ways that simply weren’t possible before.”

The CiF3200 enables users to:
• Set and communicate digital color standards for small or complex components
• Verify each measurement spot with live onscreen targeting
• Capture and store measurement images for traceability
• Extract multiple colors from a single sample for comprehensive analysis

The CiF3200 integrates with Color iQC software for a complete quality control solution and streamlined workflow. For more information about the CiF3200, visit https://www.xrite.com/categories/benchtop-spectrophotometers/cif3200.
