X-Rite said its newest multi-angle spectrophotometers – MA-T12 and MA-T6 – “set a new standard” for characterizing effect finishes.
The MA-T12 (a 12-angle device) and the MA-T6 (a six-angle device), X-Rite said, are the first instruments “to combine color imaging and multi-angle spectral measurement to quantify color, sparkle and coarseness.”
The new MA-T family is designed to help manufacturers set, communicate, and ensure conformance with global standards for effect finishes – encompassing color, sparkle and coarseness – to achieve a new level of consistency and harmony, per Alicia Libucha, X-Rite public relations manager.
“The MA-T family represents a significant advance over current multi-angle measurement technology,” said Chris Winczewski, VP, strategy and product planning. “The combination of a color camera and up to 12 angles of measurement gives manufacturers and their supply chain partners an entirely new level of sophistication in the definition and measurement of even today’s most extreme effect finishes. This new technology delivers results that more closely approximate the way the human eye perceives color, reducing approval cycles, minimizing costly rework, and accelerating time-to-market.”
Both models feature an RGB camera and white light illumination “to ensure the most accurate capture of color, sparkle and coarseness and quantifiable results that match the way the human eye perceives color,” Libucha said.
Per X-Rite, the MA-T family interfaces with new AutoQC software, a cloud-based solution that ensures that color standards, measurement procedures, and data are clearly communicated and effectively managed across distributed supply chains.
The MA-T12 and MA-T6 are both backwards compatible with X-Rite MA68 and MA94, MA96, MA98 portable multi-angle spectrophotometers, ensuring agreement with legacy data, Libucha added.
