SpecialChem launches a breakthrough online colour management system
SpecialChem launches a breakthrough online colour management system
Keywords: Colours technology, Internet
SpecialChem have announced the launch of a revolutionary online service platform dedicated to colour management.
A revolutionary approach to colour management
matchmycolor.com™(www.matchmycolor.com) is a service-only internet platform that enables professionals involved in colour management, from formulators to designers, to accelerate their colour development and reduce their costs, with online services like colourmatching, colour feasibility, colour sampling, colour technical support and colour inspiration.
“Many companies spend time and resources running their own colourmatching software based on their own colorants databases, an expensive exercise indeed. matchmycolor.com™ offers an attractive alternative, with an online state-of-the-art colour management software and a universal colorants database” says Christophe Cabarry, SpecialChem's Chief Operating Officer. “We can therefore propose a cost efficient solution and make colourmatching accessible to companies who could not afford their own system until today! We can also offer valuable new functionalities to companies already having their own colourmatching system”.
Efficiency and innovation
Should a formulator want to achieve a specific colour of a specific plastic, matchmycolor.com™ will instantly advise the ten closest colorants recipes he can make and how close they will be to the target colour.
“matchmycolor.com™ also innovates by telling designers who want to know if the specific colour they are imagining is feasible on the substrate they want, even before starting investing in the development phase. If it is feasible, plastic chips can be immediately ordered with their specific target colour on their specific substrate” says Cabarry.
World recognized partners
matchmycolor.com™ benefits from the partnership of recognized, global colour experts like Ciba Specialty Chemicals (colour management engine, COLIBRI®), XRite (colour measurement/spectrophotometers), DuPont Titanium Technologies and Nelly Rodi TrendLab (colour trends).
matchmycolor.com (www.matchmycolor.com) is starting with plastics (PP, PVC, ABS, HDPE) and will soon be extended to new plastics types, to paints and coatings as well as graphic arts. New online services will also be added in the near future.
