Test
Once the system is operational on your site, you can start testing any base paint and find out which reference colour recipe database best fits the base paints involved. By dispensing fixed colour recipes into the base paints and checking the colour outcome, the optimum reference system is selected. After this selection is finalized, you will be able to reproduce all NCS colours, as they are integrated in Tintingale software. Our Prisma Pro 3.0 software is cloud connected and meets the highest standards of a modern operator dispensing machine interface.
Including the required data of Paint names, base paint names, Can sizes to be tinted for each paint, required colour fandecks, and even packaging photos can be included in the software to prevent miss-tints as a result of wrong base paint selected. To prove that not only the specific test colours will show an accurate colour result, but any other random NCS colour as well. A powerful tool that shows its performance on demand!

From there, this software can be installed on almost every known dispensing machine type in the market. Once the dispensing machine is installed, calibrated and filled with the required UNI Plus colourants, production can be started.
If additional paints or other colour fandecks should need to be added later, this can be done via the same efficient and quick process. So that your tinting system is always up-to-date with what is needed at the point of sales.
