New imaging benchtop spectrophotometer delivers precision for color assessment of small, multi-colored, and complex parts; see live demonstration at EPHJ 2025.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — X-Rite Incorporated, a global leader in color science and technology, today announced the launch of the CiF3200 imaging spectrophotometer, designed for color measurement of small, odd-shaped, multi-colored, and highly reflective items. With a minimum measurement area of just 2mm, the CiF3200 allows 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.

With the CiF3200, we’re addressing a unique need in the industry – how to consistently measure color on small or oddly shaped parts.

The CiF3200 combines advanced features such as virtual apertures ranging from 2–12mm, on-screen targeting for precise sample alignment, and automatic multi-color 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 assurance 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,” said Dave Visnovsky, Product Manager, X-Rite. “By combining advanced targeting and imaging with sphere measurement technology and an aperture as small as 2mm, 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 on-screen 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

See CiF3200 at EPHJ 2025

X-Rite will demonstrate the CiF3200 at Booth Q03 during EPHJ 2025, taking place June 3–6, 2025, at Palexpo in Geneva, Switzerland. The event brings together professionals from high-precision industries, including watchmaking, jewelry, microtechnologies, and medtech.

Online platform and companion book equip 3 million sales professionals to thrive through chaos, complexity and upheaval

LOS ANGELES, May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In times of economic turbulence, shifting markets and rising global tariffs, traditional sales methods are faltering. That’s why Spire Selling (spireselling.com) has launched a career development program in addition to a new book – “Cheating Death” (ISBN: 978-1069339287) by CEO and 35+ year sales veteran, Robert Herbst.

As a global leader in B2B salesforce development, Spire Selling is excited to unveil a career development program which offers self-paced selling courses. Its ground-breaking online training is designed to future-proof the careers of B2B sales professionals.

Through 60 self-paced modules across five courses, the curriculum equips learners to embrace chaos as opportunity, outpace AI disruption and transform complex client needs into lasting solutions. Practical frameworks and real-world exercises teach salespeople how to innovate, drive their careers and organizations forward and create extraordinary value – no matter what the market throws at them.

“Sales is the most honest place you can be,” Robert Herbst, sales veteran and CEO, Spire Selling, says. “It’s not about closing deals; it’s about being curious enough to truly understand what’s broken, straightforward enough to say it out loud and bold enough to help fix it.

Backed by more than 35 years of experience training thousands of professionals, Herbst’s effective sales approach reframes selling from outdated pressure tactics to deep client problem-solving.

In his book, “Cheating Death,” Herbst teaches the inner game of sales, while the Spire Selling online courses offer holistic and immersive training for sales professionals at every level.

Now available in print, eBook, and audiobook formats, “Cheating Death” is earning early praise as being “deeply human,” “game-changing” and “essential reading for serious sellers.”
