Multi-angle color measurement
In order to control the lightness and / or color flop of an effect
finish, the color needs to be measured under different viewing
angles.
BYK-mac i COLOR spectrophotometer offers an attractive solution
by measuring
- Traditional 5-angle color at 15°/25°/45°/75°/110°
- An additional angle at -15° "behind the gloss" for color travel
of interference pigments

BYK-mac i COLOR Training
|
 |
BYK-Gardner offers you more than just an instrument. We assist
you in analyzing your color readings as well as sparkle and graininess
data. As a result you will be able to use the BYK-mac i to
save time and money, while at the same time improving quality.
Therefore, the instrument comes with a one day training course
including:
- Color and Effect Theory
- Parameters influencing total color impression of effect
finishes
- Color and effect differences for trouble shooting
- Operation and Software training smart-process
- Standard management
- Set-up an "organizer" to create a routine measurement
procedure
- Programming of the instrument with "organizer" and
measurement of several samples
- Data transfer to smart-chart software and saving in a
database for routine QC
- Data analysis using standard reports:
- Test Report:
Shows measurement data for a single test series -
ideal for color harmony reviews
-
- Scorecard (Management Summary Report):
Quick overview how production is running over the
selected time range
- Trend Report:
Typical process control chart showing the data over time
or by individual.
- Create your own reports reports in Excel®:
- Transfer data from the database to Excel®
- Operation and Software training smart-lab
- Standard management
- Measure standards and samples by single and average
readings
- Save, recall and delete measurements
- Change illuminants, observers, color equations
- Data analysis using standard reports:
- Scatter graph per angle to show at one glance whether all
parts are within specification
- Color & Effect Travel to show how individual samples
perform per measurement angle
- Effect graph to control whether sparkle and graininess
values are within specification
- Spectral curves for detailed analysis
- Create your own reports in Excel®:
- Transfer data from the database to Excel® Certified
- The training can be performed in one day or two half days. It is
recommended to split the training into two half days:
- Day 1: Theory and basic operation (set-up organizer,
taking readings and saving in a database)
- Day 2: 3-4 weeks later to ensure readings were taken and
saved in a database. Data analysis and standard QC
report can be explained using custom specific data.
