How a job runs
Four steps, and the color is on record
The same sequence every operator follows, on every job, whether they are working from a PC or a phone.
Measure the sample
Press the device to the sheet. One second, and the reading is on screen.
Read the verdict
ΔE against your tolerance, shown green, amber (at risk), or red. No interpretation needed.
It's logged
Every reading syncs to the cloud, filed by client and job.
Ease of use
The operator doesn't read L*a*b* numbers. They read a color: green, amber or red, like a traffic light — PASS or NO PASS.
This is the whole screen, on Windows and on Android alike: one number, on a field of color that says what to do about it. Nobody needs a color engineer on the night shift to know whether the sheet ships.
The verdict — all the operator has to read
Delta E limit 2.0 · CMC
0.96
PASS
Inside tolerance. Keep running.
1.84
AT RISK
Drifting toward the limit. Correct it before it crosses.
2.41
FAIL
Out of tolerance. Stop and fix it.
The numbers are all still there — L*a*b*, L*C*h°, the spectral curve, tolerance by CIE ab (1976), CMC, CIE94 or CIE2000 — for the day you need them, or for the customer who asks. They just aren't what the shift depends on.
Why nothing goes missing
The device stores nothing. That is exactly why nothing is lost.
SpectroFit works connected to a PC, a phone or a tablet. There is no internal memory somebody has to remember to download, and no reading that only ever existed in an operator's head. Every measurement is born inside the app, filed against a client and a job.
- It is filed the moment it is taken No export step, no end-of-shift transfer, nothing to forget.
- A standalone unit keeps its readings inside And the ones nobody downloads are the ones you needed six months later.
- Visible from the office the same second The web manager shows the night shift's readings while the night shift is still running.
- The record does not depend on who was on shift It is the same log whether your best operator took the reading or a new one did.
And yes — it needs a connection
That is the trade, and it is deliberate: no measurement exists only inside the instrument. We recommend wi-fi coverage on the press floor, or simply mobile data on the phone, which is how most of our customers work.
Device and calibration base
Bluetooth · USB-C
The device
One handheld unit. Six measurements.
SpectroFit pairs over Bluetooth and runs on its own battery, so nothing tethers the operator to a workstation. Plug in over USB-C when you would rather not rely on a wireless connection.
- Density of each color (CMYK) Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black read together for full ink control.
- Dot area Dot gain at the tones you choose, so the process stays where you set it.
- Print contrast The midtone and shadow check that tells you whether you are over-inking.
- Opacity Measured over black and white substrate, for whites and coatings.
- L*a*b*, L*C*h° and Delta E Tolerance types: CIE ab (1976), CMC, CIE94 or CIE2000 — density alone cannot tell you hue.
- The full spectral curve Reference against sample across 400–700nm, in 10nm steps.
At the press
SpectroFit
Desktop
The Windows app, rebuilt from zero
A new application, not an update. The reference and the sample sit side by side, the tolerance chart shows live beside them, and the verdict fills the screen in green, amber (at risk), or red so it reads from across the press.
- Live L*a*b* plot with tolerance chart Every reading lands on the plot, so drift shows up before it becomes a reject.
- Auto-reference Turn it on and SpectroFit picks the closest saved color reference, so every sample is compared against the right one.
- Battery level on screen The device charge sits in the header, so a shift never starts on an empty unit.
- Calibrate any time Device calibration is one tap away in the bottom bar; on top of that, the system asks for a calibration on its own every 300 measurements, so the readings stay trustworthy.
- Bluetooth or USB-C Pair wirelessly, or connect by cable. Windows 10 and 11.
L*a*b* comparison
ΔE 0.96 · CMC
Mobile
The same instrument, in a pocket
The Android app is not a viewer. It runs the full measurement set over Bluetooth — density, dot area, opacity, contrast, L*a*b*, spectral curve — and files every reading against the same client and job as the desktop.
- No laptop at the press Walk the sheet with a phone in one hand and the device in the other.
- Session history as you go See every measurement from the current session, as you take it.
- One cloud, both platforms A reading taken on a phone appears in the web manager next to the desktop's.
Cloud
It doesn't just measure. It keeps the record.
Every measurement is stored securely and separately in the cloud. Manage clients, jobs, and color references from any browser — and when a client asks whether last quarter's run held tolerance, the answer is already filed.
What was measured, on which device, at what time, and whether it held.

Pick the client, pick the job, and there it is: reference against sample, the Delta E, which device took the reading and the exact second it was taken.
- PDF reports with a compliance percentage Average difference, standard deviation, and the share of readings inside tolerance — one page a client will accept as evidence.
- 3D L*a*b* visualization (the only one on the market) See a whole run plotted inside the tolerance volume, not one reading at a time.
- The client's colors, on every job of theirs Import colors from another job, or export them to one, with a button. A repeat order starts from the color that was approved last time — not from scratch.
- Your data stays yours Storage and the math behind every reading run in the cloud, isolated per account.

Job analysis
Your client doesn't accept "it looked fine"
Pull a report for any job, color by color: how many readings were taken, how far off they ran, and what share of them held tolerance. One page, and the argument is over.

One page per color
The report opens with the client, the job, the measurement condition and the Delta E limit that was agreed. Then, for every color in the job, the four figures above.
Below them, every reading plotted over time against that limit, and the last five with the exact second each was taken. Six pages for a six-color job — one argument per color, already settled.

Inside the sphere is inside tolerance
A whole run of one color, plotted in L*a*b* space against its tolerance volume. Depth only reads when it turns — a point that looks contained from one angle is plainly outside from another. Color by color, you see how the job actually printed, not one reading at a time.

The payoff
What changes when color stops being a guess
Less waste, lower cost
Hit the color on the first run instead of the third. Substrate, ink, and press hours stop going into sheets nobody ships.
The repeat order starts where the last one ended
Store a client's corporate colors once and share them across every job you run for them. March's order prints the color that was approved in October — no hunting for the old sheet, no returns, no reruns.
Faster makeready
The operator measures where the sheet is and adjusts on the spot.
Evidence, not opinion
When a client disputes a run, you answer with a report: how many readings, how far off, what share held tolerance.

What's included
What you get, and what you pay for each year
SpectroFit is a color measurement and record system: an instrument that measures and software that keeps the record. The instrument is bought once. The software runs on an annual lease — and that annuity is what keeps the system updated, supported and calibrated.
One delivery
What you receive
- The instrument and its calibration base The spectrodensitometer itself, and the base it calibrates against before every shift.
- The software, installed on your device The Windows app, the Android app, or both — running on the PC, phone or tablet you already have.
- Your web manager account Clients, jobs, color references, the measurement log and the PDF reports, in any browser.
- Installation and operator training We set it up on your floor and train the people who will use it. Not an extra line on the quote.
- One-year factory warranty On the instrument, from the people who built it.
Year 1
Year 2
Year 3
What the annuity includes
- Unlimited updates Every new version of the apps and the web manager, for as long as the lease runs. No version you have to buy again.
- Unlimited support, answered immediately No ticket quotas and no queue. A press that is down cannot wait, so you write and we answer.
- Annual calibration of the instrument Once a year the device is recalibrated, so the number it reads in year three is the number it read on day one.
- A replacement instrument while yours is away If your device is damaged or goes in for calibration, we leave you another one in its place. Your plant does not stop measuring for a single shift.
The data lives in the cloud, not in the instrument and not on one computer — which is why the system needs a permanent internet connection, and why you can pull up any measurement from any browser.
Local support, not an importer's
An imported instrument is bought from a distributor in another country and calibrated on another continent. We build the device, we write the software, and we answer the phone — in Spanish, in your own time zone, across Colombia, Peru and Panama.
After the sale
You buy the instrument once. The support is local and permanent.
An imported instrument is bought from a distributor in another country and calibrated on another continent. We build the device, we develop the software, and we answer technical requests without delay.
Local support, not an importer's
You talk to the people who built the instrument, in Spanish and in your own time zone — not to a distributor relaying your problem to a factory overseas.
Annual calibration included
Anyone who has owned an imported instrument knows what it costs to ship it away for calibration and work without it for weeks. Here the annual calibration is part of the lease — and while yours is away, whether for calibration or a repair, we leave you a replacement unit.
We answer immediately
A press that is down cannot wait a week for an answer. Write on WhatsApp and you get an immediate reply.
Training is included
Installation and operator training are part of the sale, not an extra line on the quote — and the instrument ships with a one-year factory warranty. Your team ends up running jobs, turnkey.
Straight answers
Frequently asked questions
Why does the device have to be connected to a PC or a phone?
Because that is what makes the record exist. The instrument has no internal memory to fill up and no export step to forget — every reading is written straight into the job it belongs to and is visible in the web manager the same second. A standalone unit stores readings inside itself, and the ones nobody downloads are the ones you needed six months later.
Does it work without internet?
No. Without a connection the app will not take a measurement, and it resumes when the connection comes back. That is the trade for having nothing live only inside the instrument. In practice we recommend wi-fi coverage on the press floor, or simply using mobile data on the phone — which is how most of our customers work.
Can other customers see my measurements?
No. Storage and the calculation behind every reading run in the cloud isolated per account. Your clients, your jobs and your color references are yours.
Does it work for flexo and spot colors?
Yes. Save any spot color as a reference — measured off an approved sheet or from a client's corporate standard — and every sample after that is compared against it with Delta E by CMC, CIE94 or CIE2000. It is the same workflow for a process ink and for a brand color.
What if the operator compares against the wrong reference?
Turn on auto-reference and SpectroFit picks the closest saved color reference itself, so every sample is compared against the right one without the operator choosing from a list.
What do I need to use it?
A Windows 10 or 11 PC, or an Android 8 or later phone or tablet, with Bluetooth. On Windows you can also connect by USB-C cable if you would rather not rely on a wireless link.
Does recalibration cost extra?
No. Annual calibration of the instrument is part of the annual software lease. Day to day the device also calibrates against its own base in one tap from the app, whenever you want, without sending it anywhere.
If my instrument breaks or goes in for calibration, am I left without one?
No. While your instrument is away — for a repair or for its annual calibration — we leave you a replacement unit in its place. It is part of the annual lease, and it is the reason your plant does not stop measuring for a single shift.
What does a SpectroFit spectrodensitometer measure?
Density of each CMYK ink, dot area and dot gain, print contrast, opacity, L*a*b* and L*C*h* coordinates, Delta E by CMC, CIE94 or CIE2000, and the full spectral curve from 400 to 700 nanometres in 10 nanometre steps.
What do I receive when I buy a SpectroFit?
The spectrodensitometer with its calibration base, the software installed on your PC, phone or tablet, your cloud web manager account, installation, operator training, and a one-year factory warranty on the instrument.
Is the software bought or leased?
The instrument is bought once. The software runs on an annual lease, which carries unlimited updates, unlimited support answered immediately, and the annual calibration of the instrument. It is installed on your PC, phone or tablet, but the data lives in the cloud.
What happens if I stop renewing the annuity?
The instrument is yours — you bought it. What the annuity carries is the software: the updates, the support and the yearly calibration. If you are weighing it up, ask us and we will walk you through exactly how it works for your plant.
Can I try it before buying it?
Yes. Ask for a demo with the instrument included for 15 days. We install it at your plant, train your operators, and you measure your own jobs during that time. At the end you decide with your own measurements in hand, not with ours.
