SpectraMagic™ CMS is Konica Minolta’s Colour Matching Software designed to optimise colour matching, formulation and batch correction in laboratory and production environments. Developed for plastics, paints & coatings, and other colour-critical industries, it helps manufacturers achieve more accurate formulations while reducing trial-and-error, rework and raw material consumption.
Using advanced colour matching algorithms, SpectraMagic™ CMS helps users determine the most suitable formulation for a target colour quickly and accurately. The software supports opaque and translucent colour matching and enables simultaneous calculation of colour and opacity. It can also take material thickness and the binder’s intrinsic colour into account, helping improve formulation accuracy even for challenging colour matches.
The Local Delta E function provides enhanced precision for difficult matches. SpectraMagic™ CMS also combines theoretical models with measured data to deliver high-accuracy matching. By learning from laboratory and production samples, the software can continuously improve the reliability and accuracy of future formulations.
Advanced batch correction capabilities enable users to correct production batches that deviate from the target colour. By using real pigment performance data, the software helps improve batch-to-batch consistency and achieve reliable colour results. Formulation history can also be managed and reused, allowing colour experts to make better use of existing data and streamline their daily workflow.
SpectraMagic™ CMS also helps reduce formulation costs. The software can utilise leftover materials in formulation calculations, apply material priority settings and exclude undesirable material combinations. This helps optimise raw material usage, minimise waste and reduce the number of formulation and correction cycles required.
Designed for seamless integration with Konica Minolta portable and benchtop spectrophotometers, SpectraMagic™ CMS ensures reliable and consistent measurement data transfer. Combined with SpectraMagic™ NX2 Quality Control Software, it enables a seamless workflow from measurement and quality control through to formulation and reporting. Data can be connected to a database, exported in CxF format and used to generate PDF reports.
A user-friendly GUI helps simplify formulation, correction and data management tasks. SpectraMagic™ CMS supports colour experts by making their work faster and more reliable, while maintaining the essential role of professional expertise and visual evaluation.
By improving first-shot accuracy, reducing formulation cycles and rework, and increasing batch-to-batch consistency, SpectraMagic™ CMS provides a comprehensive colour management and formulation solution for manufacturers seeking greater precision, productivity and cost efficiency.
