Digital color assessment and communication adds proven benefits to global sourcing supply chains. Non-solid and multi-colored materials couldn’t participate in this time and cost-saving process so far, as modern Spectrophotometers are limited to capturing the average of the material’s surface. Datacolor VIEWPORT’s first-of-its-kind technology reduces the number of shipped physical samples and adds visibility to products across organizations. The operational efficiency of today’s global supply chain is significantly increased and subjective guess work is eliminated.Specifically designed for the needs of retail-colorists and manufacturing QC operators. The system captures colorcalibrated images under three illuminants and with its in-situ color correlation, observer metamerism is minimized. Easy to interpret, numerical QC results and accurate, virtual product simulations on screen, across distances allow suppliers and customers to assess the color quality of non-solid materials in the same, objective way.
