Cielab gets into the swing with open house

Spectro Swing spectrophotometer makes its Australian debut at cielab's new Brisbane premises.

The company has relocated from McDowell to Brendale, Queensland and will showcase its new premises on 7 October with an Open House where Spectro Swing will be on demonstration.

Michael Rooney, head of cielab and the agent for Barbieri, which produces Spectro Swing, said that the spectrophotometer measures most flexible media, from paper, banners, canvas and backlit substrates.

"The new Spectro Swing is a complete output profiling solution," he said. "The unit can be used to profile within the RIP, or Barbieri offers the profile software as an option."

Rooney said that Spectro Swing's main use is linearisation and profiling of photographic and wide-format output devices for reflective and transparent materials. He added that it can also be used as a densitometer to determine density values for films and papers.

The versatility of Spectro Swing will make it popular amongst the market, according to Rooney.

"This latest Spectro Swing is available in two versions: an RT, for transparent and reflective media, and an R, for reflective media only," he said.

"The latter can easily be upgraded to an RT model via software. This makes it an ideal entry model for professional users, giving them future possibilities to upgrade to transparent measurements too. With these types of substrates increasingly popular in digital imaging, we see this as important."

Cielab's Open House will be held at Unit 2, 8 Bult Drive, Brendale, Queensland, 4500.
