Standox has brought the very latest advanced technology for digital colour management to the market with the new Genius iQ spectrophotometer. This latest generation colour tool allows refinishers to find the right colour formula for car repairs quickly and reliably.

The new Genius iQ spectrophotometer from Standox is based on the latest LED measuring technology. In addition to the colour, the device also reads the effect of the paint and thanks to the small measuring aperture, refinishers can measure the colour much closer to the damage than with other devices.

In addition to the advanced technology, Genius iQ offers a number of other new features to help professional bodyshops find the right colour formula. For example, refinishers who use Standowin iQ on tablets or smartphones, can call up the identified colour formulas right next to the vehicle saving a trip to the mixing room resulting in more flexible workflows and increased productivity.

The new Genius iQ design is smaller, more manageable and light and easy to operate with one hand. It has a large-area colour touch-screen display with easy-to-understand icons for intuitive operation. Three small lights on the device indicate the status of the colour measurement. Genius iQ also has powerful fast rechargeable batteries.

"The new Genius iQ is an intelligent innovation, and in combination with the web-based software Standowin iQ, it can help to considerably simplify the colour formula retrieval process," says Kevin Welling, Training Academy Manager for Axalta Coating Systems.

The Genius iQ spectrophotometer is available to purchase from the Standox webshop, www.standoshop.co.uk, and more information can also be found on the Standox website, www.standox.co.uk.
