Built on its proven Spectro Swing qb platform, Barbieri Electronics has launched a new colour measurement solution, a 6mm variant integrating seamlessly into existing workflows. It offers automated reflection and transmission measurements, supports M0, M1 and M2 measurement conditions according to ISO 13655, and features Ethernet and USB-C connectivity. Powered by the BARBIERI qb-Technology, it ensures highly accurate colour data for precise calibration and profiling of digital printing systems. The 6mm version is particularly suited for applications such as labels and flexible packaging, decorative papers and wallpapers (flat samples), uncoated or grainy commercial papers, and substrates with high ink coverage or visible surface structure. By delivering optimised performance on these materials, the instrument enables print professionals to expand into demanding market segments with confidence.
Within the Spectro Swing qb family, the positioning is clear: the 2mm version provides maximum precision on smooth, uniform surfaces, while the new 6mm version delivers increased stability on textured or visually noisy surfaces. With this addition, Barbieri further strengthens its leadership in professional colour measurement, empowering print providers to maintain colour consistency, reduce variability, and ensure predictable production results across a broader range of substrates.
