Digital color identification

Glasurit Profit Manager: The color management system
The Profit Manager is the basis for color identification with Glasurit, offering features such as a simple database search as well as the Glasurit Color Online color database, the integration of the conventional color tools and the connection to the Glasurit RATIO Scan spectrophotometer.

Color measurement – with Glasurit RATIO Scan
The wide range and complexity of the colors makes color identification increasingly difficult. That takes up valuable working time. Glasurit's RATIO Scan II is the solution. The portable spectrophotometer measures the color precisely and takes you to the desired mixing formula, quickly and easily. NEW: Glasurit's new Glasurit RATIO Scan 12/6 spectrophotometer is a refinement of Glasurit RATIO Scan II – and is a quantum leap for your color identification.

Conventional color identification

Color retrieval – with the Glasurit Color Profi System
The Glasurit Color Profi System (CPS) is a sophisticated system of color chips coated with original paint. The front of the chip shows the respective color as a spray-out, while the back features the barcode and color code the spray painter can use to find the corresponding mixing formula for the color on the computer.

Truck colors – Glasurit Color Truck Guide
The Glasurit Color Truck Guide is the efficient color identification solution for commercial vehicles. It is a collection of all colors from all commercial vehicle manufacturers, displayed on a color swatch. 

Color adjustment charts – practical overview for all mixing bases
Pictograms next to the individual mixing bases provide information on the color group, color bias, face view and side view as well as on purity and chroma. The separate Multi-Effekt color adjustment chart makes visual assessment of mixing bases easier with its large color chips.

Grey shade concept – easily match the filler color to the basecoat
With the grey shade concept by Glasurit, bodyshops can match the filler color with the basecoat in the best possible way – thus saving up to 40 percent basecoat with the matching grey shade.
