MetaVue™ revolutionizes the world of retail paint matching with its breakthrough non-contact imaging spectrophotometer technology. Say goodbye to the limitations and inaccuracies of traditional spectrophotometers when it comes to small, odd-shaped, and multi-colored samples. MetaVue™ raises the bar for precision and introduces a new level of accuracy, making paint matching easier and more reliable than ever before.
Traditional spectrophotometers average the colors present in multi-colored items, which poses limitations for samples like fabric. MetaVue has been developed to isolate multiple colors by extracting the dominant ones. This approach provides more precise color matches and takes into account the impact of texture and other appearance effects that typically skew measurements of materials like carpet, vinyl, or fabric. MetaVue offers increased flexibility and ease of use, with aperture sizes ranging from 2mm to 12mm, to accommodate a wide range of customer samples.
MetaVue delivers precise digital targeting using an on-board full-color camera that quickly and easily selects the exact target area to be measured. This feature helps to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results. MetaVue stores image samples enabling easy retrieval of images for future reference and an audit trail. Additionally, a retractable location-aware sample positioner is included to maintain instrument cleanliness. To reduce the learning curve and make the solution easy to operate, front panel buttons and status indicator lights are provided, making it user-friendly for operators of all skill levels.
“The MetaVue really helps us make customer desires a reality, and there is nothing more important than that. It is an investment in customer satisfaction.”
“For us, the bottom line is accuracy. Formulate the perfect color the first time, no waste. This is what we look for when we choose a color measurement instrument, and the MetaVue is the best one we’ve ever seen. With MetaVue, I can formulate specific colors, then shoot the formula without being afraid I’ll waste the whole gallon. This saves us a lot of wasted paint.”
