MA96 Portable Multi-Angle Spectrophotometer
Color can make or break a product. Metallics, pearlescents, and other complex special effect finishes deliver limitless possibilities for enhancing product appeal. And limitless challenges as well. Duplicating complex colors from part to part is no easy task.
X-Rite has answers. Our MA96 spectrophotometer is an intelligent, hand-held tool with the power to provide precise, reliable data on special effect coatings, including data from a -15 degree angle.
Through a series of pressure sensors, the MA96 is able to consistently produce accurate readings on flexible and curved surfaces.
We've made it easy to use, too. There's a large color LCD screen for reading data or measurement directions, and options for USB or Bluetooth (in compliant countries only) wireless data communication. A more powerful version of our MA94 and MA68II devices, MA96 operation is enhanced by exclusive advantages, such as X-ColorQC® software that enhances process recording, reporting, and control and a JOBs software mode that allows text or visual measurement direction to ensure consistency. All in a few keystrokes.
So now, the only limit to working with special effect finishes is your imagination.
