Technidyne ColorTouch®X ISO Spectrophotometer

Fast and flexible spectrophotometer for color

The ColorTouch X ISO is an accurate color spectrophotometer that features an integrated touchscreen as well as advanced data analysis and sample tracking.   

Designed for laboratories and quality control teams working in pulp, paper and packaging production, the ColorTouch X ISO helps manufacturers maintain consistent colour, brightness and optical properties across every batch.

It can test color/color difference/brightness/whiteness/opacity/ERIC 950® measurement accordance with ISO and TAPPI standards, offering you a comprehensive test and inspection solution for papers, pulps and cardboards. This makes it an essential quality assurance tool for paper mills, tissue manufacturers, packaging producers and laboratories responsible for verifying optical performance and product consistency.

The instrument is also CE certified, ensuring compliance with European safety and regulatory standards.

Why it matters

The ColorTouch X ISO enables manufacturers to identify colour and brightness variation early, reducing out-of-spec production and material waste, while supporting laboratory compliance with ISO and TAPPI standards through accurate, standardised measurement of colour, brightness and optical properties.

With automated calibration and pre-programmed ISO testing routines, the ColorTouch® X ISO helps quality control teams complete optical testing faster and reduce manual laboratory work.

A future-proofed spectrophotometer

Offering exact conformance to ISO standards, the ColorTouch X ISO is an advanced spectrometer that has futureproofing built in. Its app technology provides the foundation for adding new features as they become available or the development of custom apps for your specific measurement or calculation, allowing you to ensure your color spectrophotometer remains fit for purpose even when your needs change or the industry shifts.  

For manufacturers operating in fast-moving production environments, this flexibility means your colour measurement capability can evolve alongside changing product specifications, standards and customer expectations without replacing your instrument.

A powerful color spectrophotometer

The ColorTouch X ISO is a powerful spectrometer that offers high levels of capability and functionality, thanks to features such as:  

Innovative touchscreen operation  

• A simple system with point & touch, the ColorTouch X does the rest  

• Preprogrammed test routines to allow for easy set-up and testing  

• Does not require an external PC  

• Automated calibration routine  

• An internal working standard that’s unmatched in the industry  

Advanced data analysis  

• Trending data allows for tracking grades over several samples  

• Compare multiple samples on various color plots  

• Establish optical tolerances on grades for pass/fail analysis  

These capabilities allow quality teams to identify colour variation earlier, maintain tighter tolerances and reduce the risk of costly production errors or rejected materials.
