Dr. Kai Lankinen

It’s versatile and suitable for brand owners, designers, paper manufacturers, printers, repro houses, and the ink industry.

The benefits include accuracy, mobility, cordless operations, small size, simple cost structure, affordable price, and excellent app functions. According to my comparisons, it is comparable with Spectrophotometers that cost over 10x as much.

Dr. Abhay Sharma

Graphic Communications Management Prof. at Toronto Metropolitan University

As a graphic designer and color theory educator, I find the Nix Mini 3 and Nix Spectro 2 have become indispensable to my practice.

When I started on my mission to promote science-based color theory, I had to rely on others’ research. Now I can scan samples of paint, crayon, and other art materials, visualizing the colorimetric data in creative ways. Nix has played a huge part in helping me make color science more accessible.
