September 29, 2008: Australian colour-management specialist, cielab, will demonstrate the new Spectro Swing spectrophotometers for the first time in Australia, at the opening of their new Brendale premises in Brisbane on 7 October.
Manufactured by Barbieri and distributed exclusively in Australia by cielab, the latest model is up to 30% faster than its predecessor. With a measuring speed of just 10 minutes it can cover 1,248 fields in less than 0.3 of a second/field, despite the smallest measuring step being 0.2mm. It also offers “no-button operation”, making it usable by both expert and unskilled operators, and can be used with most flexible media, including paper, banners, canvas (including for trucks) and backlit substrates up to 0.7mm thick. It has three reading modes – automatic, spot and density measurements – and gives real ICC-profiles for transmissive media (such as backlit material and film).
