- Removable measuring head — detachable spectral unit for spot color measurements
- Camera-supported sensing unit — instant automatic positioning, even on distorted charts
- Switchable apertures (2, 6, 8 mm) — measure different materials, surfaces, inks, and resolutions
- Reflective & transparent media — including heavy, thick materials up to 20mm
- Fluorescent ink measurement and support from most RIP software
- Geometry — reflection 45°/0°, transmission d/0°; Ethernet and USB connectivity
- Free Barbieri Gateway software for Mac and PC
Ideal for printing labs and color management consultants who need to:
- Work to the M1 measurement condition (e.g. Fogra 51, G7)
- Measure spot colors manually and whole charts automatically
- Measure any kind of substrate, many charts, and fluorescent inks
- Let different users work on one shared device
Textile Edition includes:
- Special textile holder for easy, secure fixation of textiles during measurement
- Sensing unit and software algorithms that detect the center of each patch, so even distorted charts can be measured automatically
- Air-blowing system to keep textile fibers from contaminating the optics
- Detachable measuring head (spectral unit) for spot color measurements
- Measurement of fluorescent inks
- Automatically measures cotton, silk, polyester, viscose, wool, linen, and mixed fabrics
Materials measured automatically include: textiles, glass, backlit film, paper, vinyl, silk, fabrics, fine art paper, plexiglas, adhesives, banner, canvas, polyester, PVC, wrap film, cardboard, plastic plates, gypsum plates, wood, stone, and ceramic plates.
