basICColor catch5 QC

THE solution for color measurement and quality management

basICColor catch QC is the complete solution for all tasks of color measurement, quality control, PSO certification, quality analizing and it is the basis for ICC profile creation and optimization. basICColor catch QC is an universal and flexible ool to measure linearization-, profiling- and quality assurance targets with a variety of measuring instruments. basICColor catch QC is highly automated and can be configured for any measurement and quality control task so that one(!) mouse click is enough to start the measurement, including data storage and analysis. NEW! Access to basICColor dropRGB, basICColor CMYKick, basICColor match patch and basICColor spoTTuner with direct data transfer. NEW! basICColor statistics allows continuous monitoring of your color printing system system.

Flexibility

Due to the templates and job structures of basICColor catch the user has a maximum of flexibility in the configuration of the measurement and quality control tasks. Whether it's proof control using media wedges, checking of prints on PSO compliance or long-term monitoring of printing systems - everything is comfortable and easy.

Measured data types

basICColor catch 4 enables the saving of spectral data (up to 16 spectra) for a spectral ICC profile creation, of densities for process control, Lab values, or exporting dot gain values ​​for the correction of dot gain in the RIP or averaging the spectral measurement data set.

Measurement devices

Support of many instruments from different manufacturers. NEW: measuring conditions M0, M1, M2 meeting ISO 13655 with suitable measuring devices like Konica Minolta FD-7, X-Rite i1Pro2, i1iSis
