Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the X-Rite CAPSURE, an instrument for matching color. The CAPSURE is a
product designed to measure a wider variety of color inspiration items. The instrument matches the
colors of your samples to specific fan deck data stored in the instrument’s memory. Within seconds,
you will know the name/number of the closest color in the stored fan deck that matches your sample.
If available, CAPSURE uses Bluetooth® technology and can communicate wirelessly with other devices,
such as iPhones and Andriods. To utilize the Bluetooth feature in the CAPSURE, you must first pair
CAPSURE with the other device. The pairing procedure is only required the very first time you use the
wireless feature to establish a connection. Once complete, CAPSURE automatically connects to the
device when used.
For additional information on Bluetooth operation, refer to Bluetooth Device Pairing Procedure in the
Appendices.

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
