The Color i7 eliminates colour variability in the design, specification and production of products or product components. It features a self-diagnostic function that reduces production errors and slowdowns to help brand owners and retailers to get high quality product to market faster. It is said to be an open” technology that can be easily integrated with most digital workflow systems, creating fast, accurate and reliable digital colour control.

The Color i7 is said to be the only spectrophotometer on the market with the profiling function embedded in the instrument. The instrument periodically prompts the operator to verify performance, which can be affected by environmental conditions such as dust and humidity. If colour drift is detected, the operator can quickly and easily correct the instrument on-site through NetProfiler, GretagMacbeth’s Internet-based software application, before further colour measurements are made.

Color i7 also creates a digital signature with every colour measurement for added assurance of colour accuracy. This function is also important for manufacturers and suppliers that must document compliance with colour management programmes.

GretagMacbeth supplies colour management solutions to a wide range of industries including graphic arts, paints, plastics, apparel, and textiles.
