Datacolor at PlastIQ
Shaping the Future of Plastics Together

PlastIQ brings together the latest innovations in the plastics industry during an inspiring knowledge and networking event. As a proud PlastIQ partner, Datacolor is pleased to be exhibiting and contributing to this forward-looking moment for the sector.

In plastics applications, color is more than aesthetics — it is a critical quality specification that determines whether a finished product is accepted by customers. When color consistency cannot be guaranteed, the result is often rejection, rework, scrap, and production loss. Plastics present specific color measurement challenges, including:

• Recycled plastics (PCR)
  Certain colors — especially lighter and brighter shades — are difficult or even impossible to achieve without adjusted color strategies
• Translucent polymers
  Standard measurement methods can produce conflicting or unreliable results when transparency and opacity come into play.

At the Datacolor stand, visitors will discover proven best practices for robust color control, including:

• Dual measurement on black and white backgrounds to manage both color and opacity accurately
• Practical guidance to avoid common measurement errors such as edge loss, improper sample preparation, and setup inconsistencies

Our specialists will be on hand to explain how reliable color measurement delivers better quality, less waste, and greater confidence — even in challenging materials.
