GretagMacbeth launches the new Color i7, a fully automated spectrophotometer with embedded profiling for precise digital color control.
From textile and apparel to consumer electronics, car interiors, furniture and appliances, Color i7 is an essential tool to help companies and their supply chain partners better manage and verify accurate color.
It helps create a powerful system that ensures the color quality and consistency of products made at different times or locations at the point-of-purchase.
The Color i7 eliminates color variability in the design, specification and production of products or product components.
It features a unique self-diagnostic function that reduces costly production errors and slowdowns to help brand owners and retailers get high quality product to market faster.
The Color i7 is an “open” technology that can be easily integrated with most digital workflow systems, creating fast, accurate and reliable digital color control.
“Color is a key indicator of quality and a key attribute to drive product sales. Yet the more complex and global the supply chain becomes, the more difficult it can be to control color,” says Jan-Paul van Maaren, vice president and general manager of GretagMacbeth's Color and Appearance Business Unit.
“The Color i7 system helps companies to digitize color in their workflow so they can more easily, reliably and cost-effectively manage their suppliers and factories the world over. A reliable digital workflow produces a color experience for customers that differentiates and supports brands at the point-of-purchase.”
