Quality Control Features- The standard QC features in both the PCM+ color instruments and ColorSoft®-QCW software meet all the requirements of the plastic manufacturer for reflection color quality control applications and out perform competitive instruments and software, most of which are more complicated and expensive.

Portability- 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 9 volt battery make in-plant use practical. The PCM+ can be used for testing and inspection of color, opacity and yellowness and for quick check of standards and first lots of production. Colors can be checked right on the production floor and data can then be later analyzed on a PC.

Color Measurement & Analysis- Most plastic products have color delta acceptability of about 1.0. 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 find the PCM+ 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 data control well beyond anything they have ever used. Not only is the PCM+ the lowest cost line of LED color instruments in a smart portable instrument design, but ColorTec offers you a range of color calculations and test methods on the same system.

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, battery, manual, electronic help, and telephone support.
