Important Information 

The color display of CAPSURE has limited capabilities dependant on viewing conditions. Colors 
on screen are for guidance only, verify with fan decks for visual accuracy. 

The color matches given by the instrument are meant to serve as guidelines only. You should 
always visually confirm that the color specified by the instrument is an acceptable match to the 
sample. X-Rite is not liable and assumes no responsibility for inaccurate color identification by 
the instrument. It is recommended that you refer to your fan deck for final color acceptability. 

 

Variables that may affect the results given by the instrument include: 

 

Obstructions to the sensors located within the target window. 

 

Cold weather, which may cause the display to react slowly and matches to be less accurate. 

 

Improper use of the instrument or attempting to make a match from an unsuitable sample: 

- The instrument was not flat against the sample 
- The sample is highly textured 
- The sample is dirty from handling 
- The sample contains fluorescent, metallic, or pearlescent colorants 
- The sample looks different when viewed at different angles
