Process Control for Perfect Color

From concept through application of the final product, colour fidelity across the entire supply chain is the optimal goal in the paint and coatings industry.

In a world where paint is manufactured and mixed on an increasingly distributed and global basis, with both retail and commercial customers often seeking custom colours, it can be challenging to ensure consistent colour throughout the entire supply chain and accurate colours at the point of delivery. Using next-generation colour measurement instruments will ensure that specifications and tolerances are met. Right the first time. Right all the time.

Precise, Consistent Sample Measurement

Older benchtop spectrophotometers can be complicated and time consuming to configure for proper performance. It is also critical that databases used to determine recipes in retail and other remote locations are accurate to minimize wasted time and customer dissatisfaction. Use the next-generation X-Rite benchtop spectrophotometer Ci7800, a master instrument, and the Ci7600, the cost effective compatible version. Use in combination with X-Rite NetProfiler and/or Color iMatch software for:
• Fast, simultaneous SPIN/SPEX measurements to determine gloss level of the sample, and over light or over dark measurements to better control opacity.
• Automated, software-driven set-up delivering consistent configuration across all locations.
• An audit trail that includes device condition, sample image and parameters at the time of measurement.
• Multi-aperture design to accommodate measurement of complicated samples.

Accurate Measurements Regardless of Gloss Level

Next-generation X-Rite Ci7800 and Ci7600 Benchtop Spectrophotometers for the paint and coatings industry deliver both accurate color measurement and product gloss level, measuring both color and gloss simultaneously for fast, efficient performance.
Automated Instrument Set-UpAutomated instrument set-up with easy-to-use software takes the guesswork out of instrument configuration and eliminates potential for error. Pre-load custom settings and reduce the learning curve for operators. Consistent measurement—a few mouse clicks away! The Ci7800 and Ci7600’s easy to read LED screen ensures operator ease of use.
