ColorScout AX

ColorScout AXT

ColorScout AXT large format
Automatic spectrophotometric color chart scanner
The ColorScout AX is a high-speed, high-precision, automatic spectrophotometric color chart scanner.
With technology based on support of the probe by air cushion
The high-performance photo-optical esc probe. This air bag support technology ensures correct conservation of the cards, while keeping the device free of dust.
The scan time for the 928 patch IT8.7/3 chart is approximately 4 minutes. For the 1485 patch ECI2002 it is less than 6 minutes.
Supports a maximum letter format of A3+. Taking into account this unique size limitation, cards can be designed in any format.
Due to its low noise level it can be used in office environments unlike other measurement systems known to all.
The AXT option is the same as the AX to which the communication module has been integrated.
