AutoPilot Closed-Loop Color Control System

Overview

"Close the loop" with the AutoPilot Closed-Loop Color Control System from Rutherford Graphic Products. AutoPilot works with most scanning densitometers, such as the X-Rite® IntelliTrax and ATS AutoTracking scanners. When scans are executed, the scan data is automatically sent to AutoPilot where it is displays both the density values and the necessary key movements to correct the color. The operator then has the option of selecting "Yes" or "No" to the key moves. Or, the operator can set AutoPilot to automatically execute key moves immediately following a scan. AutoPilot allows retargeting of densities and dot-gain across multiple key-zones with a drag of the finger. Keys can be locked in the same manner.
