Are your color proofs accurate? How do you know for sure? MonacoQCcolor is an objective, fail-safe way to measure color proofs and verify whether they meet job requirements. No matter the size of your printing operation, your proofing system operators can use MonacoQCcolor to ensure the color accuracy of all proofs.

MonacoQCcolor comes in two versions that meet a full range of needs The Desktop version is standalone software that allows you to compare your proofs against fixed, preset targets based on industry-standard guidelines.* The targets include both test images and color reference values.The Desktop version is designed for basic workflows and provides users with simplified tools to manage their proof verification process. Ideal for operations with more advanced workflows, the Network version allows multiple users to send/receive proof verification information to/from a central server. Whether your output devices reside in one facility or are dispersed around the world (remote proofing sites), MonacoQCcolor Network ensures color proof fidelity from device to device, both now and over time. The Network version also enables you to store statistical information in a central database, and to customize your own acceptance criteria.This ensures that proofs and prints are color accurate and drives costs out of your process. Note that the Desktopversion can be upgraded to the Network version, as needed.

No matter which version you choose, MonacoQCcolor:

MonacoQCcolor is easy to use and requires just a few simple steps:
1. Measure the color bar on a proof (using a densitometer or spectrophotometer) and compare it to a standard stored in MonacoQCcolor.
2. Check for a pass/fail grade, based on defined tolerances.
3. Save pass/fail data in the MonacoQCcolor database (Network version).
4. Label the proof Pass or Fail using MonacoQCcolor’s optional label printer.

Each package of MonacoQCcolor Network includes MonacoQCcolor Server software.

MonacoQCcolor Suite contains a copy of MonacoQCcolor Network, MonacoQCcolor Server and ColorShop X Analyze.This solution lets you create a database of proof verification information – or connect your MonacoQCcolor data to an existing ODBC compliant database – to improve your workflow.

MonacoQCcolor Suite includes X-Rite's powerful quality-control analysis tool, ColorShop X Analyze. Quality control managers can use this software to build targets and define pass/fail criteria. Used together with MonacoQCcolor Server, ColorShop X Analyze lets you retrieve, analyze and plot data, as well as generate statistical reports based on color, density and other printing attributes.This tool also allows you to export data to other reporting software or quality control systems.
