Recorded on February 8, 2023
Accurate color has always been a critical factor for the paint, coatings, plastics, and printing industry. Recently, innovative trends have elevated the need to go beyond color to include advanced appearance attributes. However, communicating these color expectations with designers and customers is a challenge, visually ensuring color matches leaves room for error, and shipping samples to global partners for approval is expensive and wasteful.
Digital color workflow tools make it possible to deliver precise formulations in fewer steps, establish repeatable correlation and color harmony across a global supply chain, and approve color without shipping physical samples. With over 60 years of proven innovation and expertise in color measurement, X-Rite instruments and software help the paint and coating industry enhance color measurement, formulation, and quality control processes around the world.
To accurately measure and control the color of paints and coatings, X-Rite recommends the following precision technology:
- A sphere or multi angle spectrophotometer to capture spectral data and quantify appearance characteristics of the gloss/specular component and additives.
- Formulation software to calculate recipes and reuse leftover colorants for faster formulations with less rework and waste.
- Quality control software to import color measurements, identify measured differences against the standard, and track and report on measurement history and success.
We invite you to join this webinar to learn how X-Rite digital color solutions support paint and coating color workflows from inspiration through material specification, development, process control, and quality assurance to deliver precise and repeatable color for a more sustainable workflow.
