Color formulation involves defining requirements and methods while also identifying variables within the environment or production process that could influence the color formulation results. In addition, color measurement instruments such as spectrophotometers and sophisticated color formulation software are essential for quantitative analysis to help achieve the right color with minimal time and waste.

Introducing the industry's first color and gloss bench-top spectrophotometer, the Spectrophotometer CM-36dG from Konica Minolta Sensing.

A color and gloss bench-top spectrophotometer, Spectrophotometer CM-36dG features an integrated ISO 2813-compliant, 60° gloss sensor inside to measure color and true gloss simultaneously.

The CM-M6 multi-angle spectrophotometer is ideal for measuring metallic and pearlescent coatings.

Compact and lightweight, CM-700d spectrophotometer features an ergonomic design for vertical measurements.

The all-in-one, standalone benchtop spectrophotometer CM-5 allows users to analyze, formulate and control the color and appearance of solids, powders and granules in a streamlined process.

The CM-26dG portable sphere spectrophotometer comes with an integrated 60° gloss sensor allowing for distinct color and appearance measurements within one instrument.

The Spectro 1 Pro portable spectrophotometer produces full reflectance curves, has easy-to-use quality control features, and offers mobile share capabilities.

Utilizing digital color management in powder coatings eliminates data silos, ultimately resulting in faster, more-accurate matching. Digital color management gives manufacturers confidence in their color quality, knowing they have obtained it quickly and cost effectively.

Variable's mobile-paired spectrophotometer offers accurate, affordable, time-saving technology that allows users to practice safe social distancing without having to sacrifice quality.
