분광측색계의 이전 버전과의 호환성이 일관된 색상 유지의 핵심인 이유 이 상황에 있다면 색상 품질을 적절한 수준으로 유지하기 위해 벤치톱 분광측색계에 의지하고 있을 가능성이 큽니다. 섬유와 플라스틱에서 페인트, 코팅 등에 이르기까지 이러한 고정밀 장비는 프로세스의 일관성 유지를 위해 매우 중요합니다. X-Rite에서는 매우 까다로운 환경에서도 수년간 안정적으로 작동하도록 분광측색계를 설계합니다. 그러나 어떤 기기도 영원히 지속되지 않으며 결국 최고의 성능을 유지하려면 업그레이드가 필요하게 됩니다. 업그레이드가 중요한 결정이라는 점을 알고 있기 때문에 자세한 보상 판매 가이드를 만들어 도움을 드립니다. 당사의 최우선 과제는 고객이 새로운 장비로 전환할 때 최대한 원활하게 진행하도록 하는 것입니다. 이를 달성하는 주요 방법 중 하나는 벤치톱 분광측색계 후향 호환성을 통해 이루어지며, 이번 블로그에서 그 내용을 중점적으로 다룹니다. 후향 호환성이란 무엇인가? 벤치톱 분광측색계의 후향 호...

색상이 중요하다고 말하지만, 중요한 이유를 아세요? 사실 색상은 제조 공정에서 매우 중요한 요소입니다. 유감스럽게도 많은 제조업체는 올바른 컬러를 얻는 것이 예전보다 훨씬 어렵다는 것을 깨닫고 있으며, 그들이 거래하는 브랜드는 더 엄격한 허용오차를 충족하도록 요구하고 있습니다. 그 이유는 다음과 같습니다. 색상 기술의 발전(예: 메탈릭 포장, 펄 광택 피니시, 맞춤형 직물 및 생동감 있는 새로운 컬러)이 고객을 유혹하지만 일관성 유지 작업은 훨씬 어렵게 만듭니다. 예를 들어 복합 데크를 생각해보세요. 예전에는 회색 또는 갈색의 두 가지 선택이 있었습니다. 그리고 데크 전체에 조화가 있는 한 고객은 만족했습니다. 그러나 이제는 짙은 나뭇결 패턴과 이국적인 컬러 등 다양한 옵션이 있으므로 제조업체는 두세 가지가 아닌 수십 가지 색상을 관리해야 하며, 일관성을 유지하는 것은 훨씬 어렵습니다. 포장도 또 하나의 좋은 예입니다. 예전에는 인쇄된 상자를 배치했던 매장 진열대에 이제는 호일...
