The Spot Color Master is ergonomically and safely designed (Two-hand control) inkdispenser.

The weighing platform (where we put the empty can) is also adjustable in height.

3 Touch panel pc with Easy Spot Color software The Touch panel pc is linked to a weighing scale on which we put the empty ink can/container. With the software the operator can choose his color and the quantity he wants to prepare. The operator has the option to choose his color by input (name or number) or swipe through the list. Then the Touch panel pc will show the operator the steps to follow to get his accurate mix. A color bar will help the operator for the status of the mix. On the Touch panel itselves the operator can add, remove and change recepies.

Base color Base color Dispensing valve (fast/fine Empty can Weighing scale After making a new color the printer doesn t have to reseal the lids of the base colors, the can is always sealed with a follower pressplate which prevents air and dirt getting into the ink. Cleaning of the dosing valves takes just seconds after the production of your spot color and in a simple way a empty inkcan (base color) will be replaced. Maintenance is kept to a minimum thanks to the extremely sophisticated construction and the use of sustainable materials (stainless steel and Alumnium). The Spot Color Master is low cost in comparison with other systems. It is a simple Easy to use manual device which are controlled by pneumatic components. The Spot Color Master works only with compressed air and can be positioned on a 1½ square meter.
