BENCHTOP SPECTROPHOTOMETERS
Datacolor SpectraVision : Precise Colour Evaluation of Nearly Anything
Designed for multi-colour, textured, small or irregularly-shaped samples, Datacolor SpectraVision combines an advanced hyperspectral spectrophotometer with quality control software — so you can measure, analyse, report, share, and visualise exact colour results.

A colour evaluation powerhouse, Datacolor SpectraVision delivers precise measurements for practically anything — from yarn to roof shingles, thermoformed plastic to dental ceramics.
With two possible configurations, the use cases are nearly endless. While the horizontal configuration is useful in traditional, larger-scale contexts, the vertical configuration lets colourists measure the smallest samples, including buttons, gems, and granulates.
Benefits of Datacolor SpectraVision:
- Used in various industries, including textiles, aerospace, materials, paint and coatings, plastics, and dentistry.
- Removes subjectivity from the colour measurement process and integrates with other tools, even offering backward compatibility.
- Increases efficiency by reducing colour approval workflows, streamlining processes, and reducing costs associated with physical sample management.
- Eliminates weeks of development and production process work, so you can respond to customer demands and trends faster than ever before.
