Color standardization is vital

A common industry color standard is increasingly necessary as brand owners insist on identical color consistency for product packaging at a global level. Spectophotometric measurement, using spectral response and L*a*b* values, provides the most objective way to describe color. But it is the frequency with which results can be taken that makes in-line solutions so much more reliable. While hand-held devices may be capable of taking a few readings during the course of a production run, the latest in-line systems have software powerful enough to take readings, from as many as 72 image targets, continuously.
