Software

Acquisition software for the spectral scanner

The hyperspectral scanner is combined with an acquisition software that allows to:

- Scan parameters control;
- White and dark calibration;
- Choice of the type of resolution;
- Processing and saving of data;
- Combination of several scanned "slices" to make large surfaces.


Color Profiler 5.5

It is the color processing software that allows you to manipulate the files generated by the spectral scanner and perform the following operations:

- Generation and printing of calibration pages;
- Creation of target printers gamut;
- Import of the file, spectral or graphic;
- Visual and statistical verification of the out-of-gamut;
- Possible comparison between two gamut, visual and statistical;
- Possible change the colors of the acquired file;
- Print files according to the specific requests.

ColourWizard

Color processing software that allows the production of color proofs for inkjet plotters with traditional inks.

- It is possible to create custom linearizations and separation models, based on the colors used and the specific needs of color reproduction.
- Any type of printer can be linearized, regardless of brand and model.
- It allows excellent results even where the color space is extremely limited, as often happens with ceramic color spaces.
- The ICC color profiles generated are compatible with the main graphic applications such as Photoshop and Rip printing based on ICC standards.

Spectral Scanner

The spectral scanner is the result of a collaboration with the University of Parma, a reality of excellence in the field of color research. The inspiring source of this machine was a research aimed at obtaining precise color information in the field of art restoration.

The scanner, depending on the model, allows the acquisition of graphic and spectral information (in the visible color spectrum from 400 to 700 nm) on an area from 350x450 mm up to 1000x2000mm with resolution which range from 150 to 600 dpi. It is composed of a transmission spectrophotometer coupled with a CCD that allows very high resolution acquisitions.

The illumination of the subject to be acquired is obtained through halogen lamps illuminating a ball cylinder (D / 0 ° lighting): this type of lighting has been chosen as it has always been used in all the color reading instruments in the ceramic sector (spectrophotometer SP62), in addition to the fact that it is the best in avoiding reflections or dispersion of light in the case of scans of shiny or structured surfaces.
