Why is ColorTouch X 45 the most powerful color tester in the market?
Unmatched Fluorescence Control
The Technidyne ColorTouchTM X 45 offers 3 UV included sources D65(UV Rich), C (ISO UV level) and QTH (TAPPI Brightness level) and 1 UV excluded source, providing the fluoresence evalution sources needed to best control OBA dosage and maximize TAPPI Brightness values.
Expanded Wavelength Range
The Technidyne ColorTouchTM X 45 provides improved analysis of UV region and detailed color evaluation.
Data Trending
The Technidyne ColorTouchTM X 45 provides the trending capabilities to look at grade data of key optical measurements for up to 100 test.
Pass/Fail Alerts
The Technidyne ColorTouchTM X 45 allows you to input tolerancing data on Brightness and Color data so that the instrument automatically provides feedback on whether a product matches the production standard.
Easy of Operation
At the heart of the ColorTouchTM X 45 is an operator interface built to provide testers with predefined test operations to assure proper testing, while providing management the detail needed to make good decisions
