Ci4100 Spectrophotometer

Compact d/8° sphere measurement with an 8 mm spot, sample-positioning arm, and operator status feedback for retail paint matching.

A sphere instrument for the retail paint counter The Ci4100 combines a compact benchtop footprint with d/8° sphere geometry for paint-counter measurement. Its sample arm and targeting window help associates position the intended area over the 8 mm measurement spot. Readings take approximately two seconds. Useful feedback for busy associates The status panel provides operating, calibration, and service cues. White and zero calibration use the supplied white reference and black trap. X-Rite also specifies a correlated 60° gloss value for handling matte and glossy samples. An optional remote foot pedal allows hands-free triggering; it is not part of the standard instrument package. Connect measurement to formulation Used with compatible ColorDesigner PLUS software and an appropriate paint database, the Ci4100 supports formulation and storage of customer paint recipes. This instrument-only package includes the white calibration standard, black trap, manual on CD, AC adapter, and USB cable. A software license, computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse, and Seiko SLP650 label printer are separate. The WS70 Series is the corresponding workstation bundle.
