X-Rite Unveils Next Generation Color Exchange Format (CxF)X-Rite, Incorporated today unveiled the next generation of the Color Exchange Format (CxF), a file format designed to accurately and unambiguously communicate all commercially relevant aspects of color across devices, applications and geographies. The new CxF is applicable to any industry where faithful communication of color and total appearance data is mission critical, including design, print production, architecture, manufacturing, fashion, and film and video. CxF acts as a universal container for transporting complete color information from concept to final production. CxF can include spectral color values, named colors such as PANTONE®, color spaces and appearance effects (specific lighting conditions, type of substrate, type of ink, density, opacity, transparency of the color, gloss, texture, position and shape of color patches), as well as commercial aspects, mathematical, optical conditions, etc. X-Rite will deploy CxF as a connector that permits interoperability across industries, across media and across locations.
