VeriColor Spectro

Do you change production color frequently and/or face challenges with ensuring fast change-over times and minimal waste of expensive materials? By implementing the X-Rite VeriColor inline spectrophotometer, you can quickly and accurately determine colorant requirements, seamlessly communicating among formulation, production and quality control systems.

Traditionally, color measurement is performed offline at the quality control department. Vericolor Spectro revolutionizes this process by integrating a color measurement system directly Inline.

Accurate and affordable, the VeriColor Spectro is compact and durable, ideal for harsh industrial manufacturing applications.
No special lighting or shrouding is required with this all-inclusive solution, which excludes ambient light.
You will improve quality control and reduce operating expense with this cost-efficient, in-line non-contact color measurement solution that provides absolute spectral and colorimetric data for process control.
It is easy to set up and manage and enables color control in real time to contain and eliminate color problems without disrupting production
