Farbe spielt eine wichtige Rolle bei der Auswahl unserer Lebensmittel. Viele Lebensmittel, wie Schweizer Käse, Erdbeeren, Brokkoli und Kartoffelpüree, sehen immer gleich aus. Schon beim ersten Bissen wissen wir genau, was uns erwartet. Doch was wäre, wenn Kartoffelpüree grün wäre? Würde es anders schmecken? Würden Sie es trotzdem probieren? Warum die Farbanalyse für die Lebensmittelindustrie so wichtig ist In zahllosen Studien ging es da...

Black Friday. Not only is it the much anticipated start to holiday shopping, it’s also a day manufacturers have been preparing for all year long. Whether mass-producing holiday cards, candy canes, plastic toys, or festive clothing, accurate color is a must. Manufacturers can’t ship two of the same toy if they won’t match on the showroom floor, and holiday sweaters that are a shade off will end up at a discount store instead of a fashion boutique. Perfection is especially import...

Die Übereinstimmung zwischen den Geräten ist ein sehr wichtiger Aspekt bei der Auswahl von Farbmessgeräten für Ihren Arbeitsablauf. Leider ist dies ein so technisches Thema, dass es schwer zu verstehen ist, was es bedeutet und warum es so wichtig ist. Das Ci7860 Tisch-Spektralfotometer hat eine durchschnittliche Delta E*-Spezifikation von 0,06 zwischen den Geräten, die es Marken ermöglicht, die präzisesten Master-Farbstandards zu erstellen. Heute wollen wir ...

There’s been a lot of research around the role color plays in how we expect food to taste. The fact is, we judge flavor by the color of the food or drink, even before the first taste. We expect red foods to taste sweet like strawberries or cherries. White should taste like vanilla, and green is probably limey and tart or minty. Color cues can even determine whether we take that first bite. Most of us won’t even consider trying a food like mashed potatoes or pumpkin pie if it is ...

Ihr Kunde hat Ihre letzte Lieferung aufgrund der Farbe reklamiert. Sie haben die Farbe vor dem Versand auf Einhaltung der Toleranz geprüft... Sie haben alles wie beim letzten Mal gemacht; die Farbe lag im Toleranzbereich... Also warum wurde sie jetzt abgelehnt? Diese Frage stellen uns Kunden immer wieder. Der gefürchtete „Fehlerstapel“ Farbreklamationen verursachen Ausschuss und höhere Produktionskosten. Leider tragen viele Variable zu der von Ihnen erstellten Farbe b...

Color is our perception of reflected light across the visible spectrum. When light hits an object, it absorbs some rays and reflect others. The color of light that reflects back into our eyes is the color we perceive. The more light an object absorbs, the darker it appears. With black, very little light is reflected. Pure black in the presence of light wasn’t achieved until 2014 when Surrey NanoSystems announced the invention of Vantablack. This high-tech artificial substance absorbs 99....

Did you read our blog: Are You Using The Right Tolerancing Method? If not, check it out. Today we’re taking the topic one step further to investigate how tolerances are chosen in different industries. A pass-fail tolerance is the amount of color variation that is considered commercially acceptable. In part, tolerances are driven by customer expectations. While color tolerances are very tight in the automotive, plastics, and paint & coatings worlds, they can be much less strict in other...

Green is green, right? Maybe if you’re celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, but not when your bottom line is impacted by color accuracy. In the color industry, a tolerance is the acceptable amount of difference between a standard (the color you’re trying to match) and a sample (the color you are producing). To determine whether a color is within tolerance, many manufacturers use a color measurement device called a spectrophotometer to measure both colors and compare the difference be...
