Feature-Rich Quality Control Solution

Ensuring accurate, consistent color across a global supply chain can be challenging given the risk and cost of process and procedural errors. Remain confident that design intent will be carried through to the final product when using Color iQC software integrated within quality control processes.

Delivers tight tolerances through connected solutions

Color iQC is a configurable, job-based software system that allows users to work on a job using process and material templates that contain pre-defined standards, tolerances, and settings. With Color iQC, brands, suppliers, and manufacturers can define instrument calibration and measurement modes and ensure correct color measurement practices, regardless of location or software configuration.

Expands from controlling quality to assuring quality

Color iQC analyzes why color errors occur, identifies leading indicators to enable adjustments to the process and ensure final products meet color expectations. It also maintains a complete audit trail to improve communication across the supply chain so quality control professionals can focus less on controlling color quality and more on production speed and efficiency.
