Whether you work with inks, paints, textiles, plastics..., identifying color problems early on can save you time and money. But evaluating color by eye can be subjective and very dependent on the person and the environment. Datacolor MobileQC enables you to easily implement color quality control checkpoints in your color workflow. Paired with ColorReader Spectro, you can create & store color projects by customer or job and easily evaluate color samples with pass/fail indicators. You can further evaluate colors with color plots and spectral curves. You can also customize your color quality control process by setting primary, secondary, and tertiary illuminants & observers, tolerances, color space, and number of readings per batch. As the leading color solution provider, Datacolor's passion for getting color right has helped more than a million customers deliver accurate color.
