Datacolor MatchPigment Plastic Coating Ink Color Matching Software System from Deta, USA

Suitable for computer automatic color matching of plastics, coatings, paints, inks, leather, etc.

Fast and accurate, with powerful functions.

Features/Functions

Formula Control Center

All color matching and color editing functions can be displayed and run in a convenient window. The default settings in the formula control center allow for easy color matching, whether it's new colors or historical work.

Easy to learn and use, the formula control center is suitable for users at all levels. The corresponding program can process the corresponding data. Users focus on color matching rather than computer operation.

Allow direct modification of data in the displayed location, whether it is units, display format, proportions, or film thickness.

Integrated evaluation table, including graphics, chromaticity coordinates, color difference, and heterochromatic index.

Work/Template

Each job is a virtual notepad that organizes and records every step of the color matching process.

The work record provides an independent interface for viewing all options, settings, information, and results.

When the work record is opened again, it automatically returns to the previous exit position, ready to start a new operation.

To navigate to the previous page, simply click the mouse.

Any job can be used as a template and automatically applied to similar jobs in the future.

Pigments, components, formulas, and data management

Optimize the basic information of pigments.

The pigment group navigation program provides step-by-step navigation for the establishment of basic optical data for color matching systems.

Components can also be composed of many different levels of basic components.

The following attributes can be recorded for individual component batches: price, density, expiration date, and coloring strength.

Formulas and components can be expanded and displayed at any level.

The ingredients of the formula can be expressed in units of weight, capacity, or fraction. The amount of formula can be immediately changed individually or completely. The system can quickly sort formulas based on any evaluation.

Changing a single display value, the selected formula, sub quantity, or total quantity can be immediately adjusted proportionally.

At any time, new components can be added at any displayed location.

The data navigation can manage all data and store it in user-defined folders and their subfolders, just like a WINDOWS browser.

The data database system fully supports open database interconnection and can be used standalone or networked.

Keywords System

Management components can be represented by a numerical value or 'true'/'false' to indicate any characteristic.

Select data through arithmetic elements: "same", "no", "equal to", "less than", and "greater than".

There is no limit to the number of keywords and operands in a single query, which can generate powerful searches.

Color matching and color correction

The optimization of optical models ensures the best performance of special materials, which can be used for transparent, semi transparent, and opaque products.

Users can choose formula calculation methods, including automatic color matching, search, search and color correction, and combination color matching.

Enhanced semi transparent color matching ability.

Enhanced coverage/transmittance color measurement ability.

The target colors for color matching can be sorted for subsequent color matching.

Color correction to color coordinates, such as CIELAB L, a, b.

The correction calculation method of patented technology can be used when there is no optical contact between the sample and the substrate.

Gloss compensation - patented technology can color match and repair different shades of gloss.

Allow users to define weighted values for five evaluations as targets for all color schemes and color correction functions.

The color matching function can consider the thickness, opacity, and total pigment content of the film.

It can output the formula of the fraction unit, making it convenient to connect with automatic color matching machines and other devices.

Weight and capacity method color matching machine interface support.

Users can specify the minimum and maximum amount of pigment used in the formula.

Any formula component can be designated as' must use '. Any component or sub total amount can be assigned a fixed value by directly editing the formula cell.

Custom recipe classification, which can sort recipes based on user-defined weighting functions, considering color difference, color coordinates, curve fit, opacity, color spectrum, and cost.

Retouching

Eliminate the transition between laboratory formula correction and on-site additional color correction.

Automatically calculate the optimal additional amount to meet various requirements.

On site color correction options include: being able to find the best additions to fit the container capacity, or correcting some batches.

Combination color correction generates multiple formulas for batch sample color correction.

The powerful and easy-to-use manual addition function can immediately display the predicted results of formula changes.

Manual addition has the function of optimizing individual or all components based on user selected criteria.

Streamline your color matching workflow

In the past, color matching often required extensive and repeated experimentation. MATCH PIGMENT creates the best formula for your colors more quickly and conveniently, bringing more efficient processes and larger yields. Bringing you:

Reduce the number of repeated color adjustments to obtain an accurate match. Minimize your costs.

Formula Center - Everything you need comes from one screen

Color matching, color editing, scaling down or enlarging recipe quantities, modifying, searching, and evaluating - the Recipe Center allows you to complete all of these tasks on just one screen. By viewing the formula in the overall analysis table and changing the quantity of a component or a variable in the formula, the result can be immediately obtained without the need for retesting, retrieving the color, re matching the color, or leaving the formula center.

Custom formula selection criteria

Obtain the best formula based on color difference, cost, color difference spectrum, and other standards. The advanced formula optimization system can make the formula selection criteria a weighted sum of several selection parameters. The options include: color difference under five light sources, chromatic aberration index, curve fit, and coverage.

Work in your own way

Using a color matching program used to make you work according to others' ideas. There's no need to do this now. MATCH PIGMENT adapts to your workflow, organizes your work more effectively, and intelligently obtains the required information from any color matching step. Measure a color and immediately search for color matching or similar colors. If you only perform color correction, all functions related to color correction will be automatically displayed when you select the sample. You can arrange your work during the flight. When repeating a process or creating a similar process, the user work template reduces the need to input the same information twice, saving time and reducing errors.

Convenient to track your entire work process

Like a virtual notebook, the unique work recording mode captures and saves every step of the color matching process. Browsing every step of your work is as easy as flipping through pages.

Organize your pigment information for quick retrieval

Keyword search, based on attributes and data structure, accelerates pigment selection. Simple attribute queries facilitate the differentiation of pigments, such as hazard classification, light fastness, and thermal stability. Keywords can be used to create color schemes, such as those commonly used to match red pigments, or product preferences, such as pigments that should be used in nylon.

Excellent quality

Automatic color matching provides more accurate initial matching.

Gloss compensation ensures consistency between the standard board and the final product with variations.
