QC & QC history

Compare samples against a standard and identify them as pass or fail.

Quality control & history:
Compare a sample product or material to a known color standard. Get an overview of color accuracy and consistency (Delta E) between batches across all your production facilities around the world. Any scans that do not meet your set tolerances are flagged and marked for quick identification and error prevention. Review past sessions or add in notes at any time.

Compare spectral curves:
Swipe your results screen to the left to retrieve the spectral curve measurements of your color scan! The Delta E curve will automatically be calculated on the same graph. Zoom in and out of the graph to see the curves in more detail. Tap on a point in the curves to see their exact measurements and Delta E calculations.

Ink Density:
In the print industry, consistent quality is expected all while producing thousands of boxes or other printed materials each minute. Save on time and resources caused by discrepancies in ink density. By scanning a master sample, you will find the color and density measurements (ISO 5 standard density). From here you can spot check a sample to determine if it is in or out of spec. If the color values stray too far from the standard, you can compare the density values. These help to determine if more or less ink is required to bring the sample back into spec.

Any scans that do not meet your set tolerances are flagged and marked for quick identification and error prevention.

How to use it:
Using the QC tool within our Nix Toolkit app, enter a reference color by scanning a surface, selecting it from a library, or entering the color manually. Then compare other objects’ color by scanning each in groups called sessions. Review your past sessions and their notes within the tool ‘QC history’.
