Product information

  • Capable and Flexible
    The 8mm measurement aperture and the ability to output simultaneous SPIN, SPEX and Correlated Gloss measurements makes the RT 500 instrument extremely flexible.
    You can use it in production or in the field to take quick colour measurements and compare the accuracy with proven results - not guess work from visual comparison. It is equally applicable for reflective measurements or uneven surfaces.
  • Hands-Free Measurement
    The remote measurement trigger enables you to operate the instrument remotely.
  • Storage
    The instrument provides access to up to 4,000 reference samples which have been stored for fast access to existing data.
  • Ideal for Off-Site Measurements
    The RT 500 is ideal for use in the field. The optional dual-bay charging facility helps you increase your instrument's up-time by letting you simultaneously charge the second battery.
    Ensures Your Brand Identity
    If you are using metallics, special finishes and textures to gain market presence, your brand must be important to you. Colour measurement throughout your production process results in your end products always looking the same and building on your quality brand.
  • Colour Control Software for Quality Control
    The RT 500 Explorer Package includes the OnColorTM Lite software package allowing measurement data to be downloaded, analysed in detail and stored indefinitely on a PC.
    OnColor is an Open Platform software package that works on any of the offthe-shelf spectrophotometers that are currently available from all active suppliers and legacy systems such as Macbeth. OnColor is available for all spectrophotometers from handheld, portable instruments - such as the RT range from Lovibond® Tintometer® - to benchtop instruments. It is equally as suited to quick, portable readings as to the demanded accuracy of high-end solutions. Its flexibility extends further: the software can either be used out-of-the-box with pre-programmed screen displays; alternatively, it is fully customizable to enable the users to portray information tailored to their needs.
