In-Store Color Matching

In-store Color Formulation Systems

BYK-Gardner's in-store color formulation systems provide a complete solution for effective control of your entire color management process. The robust auto-match III spectrophotometer provides an efficient and profitable solution in the paint store. The instrument uses a 45/0 circumferential illumination in order to match your samples as your eyes sees them. Or use the portable look-up system color-guide plus to custom match any object on site. Simply measure and store the color, bring the instrument back and have BYK-Gardner's auto-match software generate the match for you.
