These next-generation, true close-tolerance spectrophotometers help ensure color can be communicated digitally. Featuring a digital camera, the spectrophotometer is also said to allow for perfect sample placement. The series is fully backward compatible with existing Datacolor 600 spectrophotometers. The Datacolor 800 is available immediately. The Datacolor 850, which includes transmission measurement capability in addition to reflectance, will be available in January 2016.
Datacolor 500 Spectrophotometer Family
Offering an economical option for a high-performance spectrophotometer, this line provides enhanced speed as well as advanced technology. It also assures compatibility with existing Datacolor 400 instruments. The Datacolor 500 is available immediately. The Datacolor 550, a new addition to Datacolor’s lineup, is a cost-effective transmission and reflectance instrument. It will be available in January 2016.
Both the 800 and 500 lines feature a new color LCD screen that displays calibration status and instrument settings to enable greater confidence in measurement results. Additionally, with an embedded processor, the health of the instruments can be validated through remote diagnostics, allowing for faster issue resolution. Instrument accessibility was also expanded with the introduction of an Ethernet port for simultaneous connection of multiple computers. Performance enhancements were also implemented, to enable real-time sample measurement within a global Citrix or Terminal Server environment. datacolor.com
