SpectraMagic CMS for colour matching
Konica Minolta is launching SpectraMagic CMS, software for computer-aided colour matching. The system is intended, among others, for plastics processing and the paints and coatings industry.
Konica Minolta has announced the global launch of SpectraMagic CMS, colour matching software designed for colour formulation development and colour correction. The solution has been developed for industries in which colour control is important for product quality, including the plastics sector and the paints and coatings industry. The system combines formulation development and batch correction functions on a single platform. Its purpose is to reduce the number of manual trials and corrections, increase matching accuracy at the first attempt, reduce material consumption and improve process efficiency.
Functions of the SpectraMagic CMS system
SpectraMagic CMS uses colour matching algorithms, enables simultaneous calculation of colour and opacity, and supports batch correction using actual data on pigment properties. Based on data from laboratory and production samples, the software makes it possible to gradually increase matching accuracy.
According to the company, the solution is intended to help manufacturers maintain colour consistency between batches, production lines and plants. This is relevant in processes where colour deviations may affect product acceptance, production repeatability and raw material consumption.
Integration with measuring instruments
The system is integrated with Konica Minolta spectrophotometers and the SpectraMagic NX2 quality control software. As a result, it is intended to provide a consistent workflow covering measurement, quality control, formulation development and reporting.
Users of SpectraMagic CMS can use dedicated Colour Help Desk support and a global network of application specialists. Konica Minolta states that the software is intended to increase precision and efficiency in colour management, simplify complex formulation development processes and improve operational efficiency.
The company declares that it will continue to develop its position in the colour measurement market, using computer-aided colour matching technology to support customers in improving product quality and increasing operational efficiency.
