Quality Control Features- The standard color measuring features in the instruments and in ColorSoft® meet all of the requirements of the Cosmetics Industries for color applications. Our features out perform many of our competitors in both instruments and software, most of which are more complicated and significantly more expensive.   

Portability- For many operations portability issue is key. The size and ease of use makes the PCM+ a unique lab, counter and factory unit. Size and ease of use makes the Plus LED line of ColorTec-PCM instruments a unique unit for testing and documenting quality assurance issues. Simple, low cost, standard AAA batteries make in-plant use practical. The PCM+ can be used in the field to gather data in skin and hair demographic studies evaluate products on the skin and in the plant and lab for quick check of ingredients and finished product; in processing areas for inspection and QC testing. The 3mm PCM+ is excellent to measure small skin areas as well as a QC tool for packaging materials.

Color Measurement & Analysis- Most cosmetics, powders and skin care products have color delta acceptability of about 1.5. The ColorTec-PCM+ easily meets these needs. Many Quality Departments currently use filter Colorimeters with poor stability and poor inter-instrument agreement or depend on visual inspection. The PCM+ offers more capability and flexibility than most competitive instruments. Our line includes aperture sizes to meet most industrial parts requirements.

Ease of Use - First time users will find the ColorTec family of color systems easy to set up and operate as a stand-alone instrument and easy to run with our Windows based software. Those who have experienced other color systems will find our simplified data management methods and analytical tools give them flexibility and sophistication well beyond anything they have ever used.

Ruggedness- With no moving parts and stable optics and solid state computer components, the PCM+ models are operationally secure. The case is rigid thermo-plastic, the same material used to make most cellular phones and other roughly handled consumer items. With thousands of units shipped the PCM+ LED technology has a proven track record.

Complete System- We supply everything in one purchase: the instrument, software, USB computer connections, batterry, manual, electronic help, and telephone support.

Lifetime Warranty - We offer a Lifetime Warranty on the PCM+ LED sources and a 2-year, all-inclusive Warranty on materials and a 2-year, all-inclusive Warranty on materials and workmanship.
