NEW SOFTWARE “SPECTROFIGHTER METAL+”

SPECTROFIGHTER METAL+ takes our color search software even further, and is designed to maximize the performance of the MA-5C spectrophotometer (available on the market since January 2024).

With its integrated high-res camera, the MA-5C is able to acquire the image of the metal grain with extreme precision.

SPECTROFIGHTER METAL+ interprets these data, classifying grain and assessing its reliability so as to provide you with even more accurate color matches, even in the most complex metallic color situations.

Major new features:

  1. METAL GRAIN CLASSIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT
  2. AUTOMATIC OPTIMIZATION OF THE FIRST FIVE COLOR VARIANTS
This new software version is automatically installed with update 0155 of PalColorFinder, available from May, and will be easy to recognize from the new logo shown below:



1. METAL GRAIN CLASSIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT
Using a high-res camera, MA5C is able to provide a precision analysis of the metal grain. The software update, SPECTROFIGHTER METAL+, introduces a new index IC (Index of Coarseness), which classifies the metal grain into 9 macro categories, from the finest to the coarsest, using the scale below:


IC
EXTRA FINEXF
MEDIUM FINEXF/F
FINEF
INTERMEDIATE FINEF/M
MEDIUMM
MEDIUM COARSEM/C
COARSEC
VERY COARSEC/XC
EXTRA COARSEXC

During the reading acquisition stage, the software automatically recognizes the metal grain of the color sample (XF, XF/F, F, F/M, M, M/C, C, C/XC, XC). Next, during the color search, it provides an indication of the grain for the proposed result and also the extent to which this corresponds with the grain of the sample, expressed in a color scale that goes from dark green (correct grain) through to different shades of yellow.

This innovation means that when evaluating the results, it is possible to select the formula with the best rating and most suitable metal grain, guaranteeing an excellent color correspondence.

2.COLOR VARIANT OPTIMIZATION
The automatic optimization function has been improved to make it even more efficient.
As well as the already available function to optimize individual colors, SPECTROFIGHTER METAL+ introduces the possibility to automatically optimize the first five results found in the search.

This new function boosts the optimization process, allowing the system to refine the results containing the most suitable color bases to achieve the tone of the sample analyzed with even greater precision.

This innovation makes the color search system even more efficient, cutting processing times in the shop and increasing color selection precision.
