Worlds first fully portable and WiFi-enabled Spectrophotometer

Barbieri has launched Spectropad, the world’s first portable spectrophotometer, designed to measure a variety of different media used in professional digital printing, including large and wide format printing.  Thanks to its large measurement aperture it is able to measure a wide range of substrates.

This new wireless, battery powered spectrophotometer can be operated without a computer and therefore directly at the press, without cutting the substrate.  Jobs can be stored in the device and measurement results sent by WiFi to the computer.

The Spectropad is the first measurement device with Barbieri “qb-technology” inside.  This new technology is based on D50 illumination and contains the next generation of highest precision spectral core.  It matches the new measurement condition M1 introduced with the ISO standard 13655-2009.

The Spectropad’s touch display makes operation and job selection simple, whether measuring a control bar, a linearization or profiling chart, or a simple spot color.  The measurement results will immediately be displayed or sent to the computer for further processing.
