This is a user-friendly, Web-based system designed to make color retrieval faster and more manageable for refinish technicians. From simple search capabilities to intuitive color filtering and selection, this system will help improve cycle time, productivity and profit. In addition, FormulaExpress 2.0 works in conjunction with the iFEX spectro, a hand-held spectrophotometer designed for precise and consistent color measurement. See how this simple-to-use color tool makes for even faster color formula selection.
