Features

Better Simulation for Quality Control

Datacolor brings a new, solid-state approach to 45°/0° color measurements. The Datacolor 245™ is designed for accurate color measurements as well as exceptional correlation with visual assessments of appearance. By providing a better correlation to what the actual product will look like, you can make more educated color decisions.

Exceptional Performance

Laboratory precision is now available on the production floor. The Datacolor 245™’s unique optical design has a sealed optical path for improved repeatability and long-term reliability. Physical samples undergo changes to gloss and texture through normal use. Storing standard measurements made using the Datacolor 245™ will ensure that you are matching the right numbers, regardless of any changes to the physical samples over time. This improves overall process control.
