i1 Paint Spectrophotometer

USB-powered handheld color measurement with an 8 mm spot and readings in less than one second for common paint-counter samples.

A straightforward handheld option for common samples i1 Paint is a compact, tethered handheld spectrophotometer for everyday requests such as fan-deck cards, color cards, and painted items. One-hand operation and an 8 mm measurement spot make it a practical option for flat, common samples at a lower-volume paint counter. Fast readings with simple targeting The instrument uses continuous-ring LED illumination, 45°/0° measurement geometry, and 31-point spectral resolution across 400–700 nm. Measurements take less than one second and can be triggered from the instrument or compatible ColorDesigner PLUS software. A multi-color LED communicates instrument status. Designed to keep the optics protected The downward-facing measurement port and protective filter glass help reduce contamination and damage to optical components. A separate calibration assembly can be secured to the counter. USB supplies both power and communication, avoiding an additional instrument power cord. An optional Kensington security lock can help secure the device; the lock is not included. Instrument only, with software selected for your store ColorDesigner PLUS and a supported paint database can translate readings into formulations and store repeat-customer recipes. This instrument-only listing does not include the software license, computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse, or Seiko SLP650 label printer. Counter equipment in application photos is illustrative. The W30 Series is the corresponding workstation bundle.
