Lightbox colour evaluation tools
Datacolor light booths and luminaires simulate a variety of lighting conditions, enabling visual colour assessment of ink, paint, plastic, textile, paper, colourant, and other coloured materials with absolute confidence.
Overhead and desktop light booth solutions are available in a variety of size options to suit any office or laboratory environment within your supply chain:
- ColorMatcher Light Booth – Datacolor ColorMatcher light booths are feature-rich colour inspection systems for global supply chains where colour must be managed accurately from design through production. The large size of the light booth, lamp-usage monitoring, and one-touch programmable multi-light sequencing make the ColorMatcher Light booth an excellent choice for visual colour evaluation.
- ColorMatcher Overhead Luminaire – Part of the ColorMatcher Light Booth family, the Luminaire is installed overhead for visual inspection of larger samples or for colour evaluation of samples in a conference room environment. Up to eight units can be linked together depending on the size of the room. Wherever traditional light booths are not practical, the luminaire adapts easily to a variety of workspaces.
- Tru-Vue Light Booth – The Datacolor Tru-Vue Light Booth is a cost effective lighting option. The lightweight desktop design makes comparing colour standards to samples easy and effective.
All lighting solutions can be stand-alone or linked together for a larger viewing area.
