With SpectraMagic™ CMS, Konica Minolta is launching new software for computer-aided colour formulation. This advanced formulation software helps manufacturers carry out colour formulations and corrections more quickly, accurately and cost-effectively. SpectraMagic™ CMS was developed for the plastics, paint and coatings industries, as well as other colour-sensitive sectors, and combines intelligent batch correction within a powerful software platform. With fewer correction steps and increased accuracy in initial formulations, SpectraMagic™ CMS significantly reduces material waste and helps to boost overall productivity.

SpectraMagic™ CMS offers advanced algorithms for colour calculation, simultaneous calculation of colour and opacity, and intelligent batch correction based on real pigment data. By incorporating laboratory and production samples, the software continuously improves the accuracy of colour matching.

This ensures greater colour consistency across batches, production lines and production sites. By combining SpectraMagic™ CMS with our SpectraMagic™ NX2 quality control software, professional colour management can be achieved through a seamless workflow across applications. The familiar user interface and easy connection of measuring instruments enable a quick start. A global support team is on hand to assist with any queries regarding the software solutions.
