The Datacolor SpectraVision solution enables manufactures to objectively measure and digitally communicate color measurements for the multi-colored, textured, small-sized and irregular-shaped materials.

 

This solution combines an advanced hyperspectral spectrophotometer with formulation and quality control software to measure, formulate, analyze, report, communicate, and visualize accurate color results.

Discover 5 Unexpected SpectraVision Applications

Enables consistent, repeatable color measurement for the “unmeasurable” material

Enables consistent, repeatable color measurement for the “unmeasurable” material

 

  • Improves product quality by removing subjectivity from the color measurement process
  • Ensures uniform assessment throughout the production process with high inter instrument agreement
  • Allows the use of existing measurement data with backward compatibility to Datacolor benchtop instruments

Submit Samples

Increase efficiency by reducing the steps to match and approve color

Increase efficiency by reducing the steps to match and approve color

 

  • Decreases color approval steps and the number of physical samples required
  • Lowers the cost associated with shipment of physical samples and maintenance of color standards with digital data
  • Reduces cost and waste with fewer test trials
  • Fast and accurate color formulation based on digitally measured data


Onscreen* color evaluation and communication of colorimetric data and high-resolution sample image improves efficiency and reduces the need to ship physical samples. *we recommend using a calibrated monitor for onscreen evaluation.
 

Eliminates weeks in the development and production processes enabling an agile response to trends and customer needs

Eliminates weeks in the development and production processes enabling an agile response to trends and customer needs

  • Efficient color management of components in a garment or in coordinating sets
  • Expedites decision making with digital communication of colorimetric and image data
  • Shortens approval cycle by enabling color evaluation at the point of production
