## What is CAL Select?

« CAL Select » first universal, digital color specifier with adhesive films.

Colorix’s « CAL Select » for the first time includes leading brands of self-adhesive films. Exclusive software, especially developed for decorators, sign makers, stand builders etc. brings a selected color instantly to a picture.

Selected colors (except metallics) shows up instantly on the screen of an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch including its reference number and RGB values.

Thanks to its exclusive software original colors can instantly be applied (text inscription, car, logo etc.) to a picture taken by an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

« CAL Select » not only saves the professional and his clients considerable time when surching for the right color, but shows the selected color immediately on the object.

The professional instantly finds a particular color within a specific series; no more time-consuming search consulting several color specifiers.

« CAL Select » instantly finds the identical or a similar color tone within a color range. Additional color specifiers such as NCS and RAL may be downloaded into the App.

CAL Select is compatible with COLORCATCH NANO.
COLORCATCH NANO incorporates a revolutionary new technology to accurately measure the color of smooth, structured or patterned surfaces to determine the corresponding color of the preselected swatch. NANO reads and measures 50'000 pixels separately. During reading it eliminates automatically all non-dominant colors such as shade effects and dirty surfaces.

Due to technical limitations, colors seen in this App may not accurately reflect paint colors. To confirm your color choices refer to your color cards.

### 3/5 — Very good

*2013-05-01*

Excellent resource. Avery colour numbers need to be updated with the current product.

### 3/5 — Hilfreich, aber...

*2013-02-10*

Es ist eine Tolle Idee, alle Farbfächer in einer App zu haben.
Anhand der Tatsache, dass die Farben leider sehr ungenau sind, sollte unbedingt am Preis geschraubt werden. Das ist eindeutig zu teuer, wenigstens die auch viel zu teuren InApp Käufe sollten für den Preis inklusive sein!

Man kennt das Problem der Monitordarstellung, aber da es sich um ein Apple Display handelt, welches doch ziemlich einheitlich sein dürfte, habe ich mir von der Farbbrillianz aber wirklich mehr erhofft.

Preis und Darstellung je ein Stern Abzug, die Projektbearbeitung für auf die Schnelle finde ich allerdings schön gelungen :)

Infos zu den Produkten fände ich noch toll, z.B. Haltbarkeit, opak, transluzent usw.

Da geht noch was ;)
