Color quality depends on more than a single measurement. Spectura, paired with software, connects color data across specification, formulation, production, and quality control, helping teams work from the same trusted standard and make confident decisions throughout manufacturing.
Powering a Connected Color Data Workflow
Color workflows depend on measurement data that remains consistent from the laboratory to production. With strong agreement to X-Rite Ci7000 benchtop spectrophotometers and integration with Color iMatch and Color iQC software, the Spectura portable spectrophotometer solution helps teams work from the same trusted color data to establish standards, evaluate production results, and verify quality with greater consistency and confidence.
Specification
Connect Spectura with Color iMatch and Color iQC to access approved color targets, support formulation workflows, and maintain digital color standards across the supply chain. By leveraging trusted color data and consistent measurement practices, teams can extend laboratory standards into production and quality control with greater confidence.
Move color decisions to the production floor with fast, reliable measurement at the point of inspection. Spectura helps operators compare results against approved standards in real-time, identify variation sooner, and share measurement data with connected quality and formulation systems.
Verify incoming materials, work-in-process samples, and finished goods against approved color standards using the same trusted measurement data. Connected with Color iQC, Spectura helps quality teams improve pass/fail consistency, reduce disputes, and support faster approval decisions through cloud connectivity.
A digital color workflow helps ensure everyone works from the same approved color standard and measurement data. By connecting specification, production, and quality control technologies, teams can reduce variation caused by inconsistent standards, manual data transfer, and subjective color evaluations.
Spectura builds on the proven measurement foundation of the Ci6x family while introducing a more modern, connected workflow experience. It offers an enhanced touchscreen interface, high-resolution camera targeting, Wi-Fi connectivity, cloud-enabled access to standards, expanded data storage, and a scalable platform that can grow through apps and subscriptions as workflow requirements evolve. Spectura was also designed to align with existing Ci6x instruments and X-Rite benchtop spectrophotometers, helping organizations upgrade while preserving existing color standards and historical data.
Spectura helps operators work more efficiently with high-resolution camera targeting, automatic magnification, a rotating touchscreen, and purpose-built accessories that simplify positioning and reduce repeat measurements. Low warm-up drift supports reliable operation from startup, while advanced temperature awareness and thermochromic correction capabilities (S64) help reduce delays when measuring hot or cold samples. Together, these capabilities enable faster measurement cycles and more confident color decisions at the point of inspection
Spectura is designed to provide strong agreement with X-Rite Ci7000 benchtop spectrophotometers, helping production measurements remain aligned with standards established in the lab. More consistent measurement data can reduce discrepancies, remeasurement, approval delays, and color disputes across teams and locations.
When connected with Color iQC, Spectura enables measurement data to be shared beyond the point of inspection, giving Quality Control Managers real-time visibility into color performance across production lines, facilities, and suppliers. Instead of needing to be physically present in the lab or on the production floor, managers can remotely monitor measurement results, review quality trends, investigate issues as they occur, and help guide corrective actions using the same color data being collected by operators. By reducing reliance on manual data transfers and delayed reporting, organizations can respond more quickly to color issues, improve communication between teams, and maintain alignment to approved color standards throughout the workflow
