Achieve reliable and repeatable color across industrial printing materials, surface structures, and production processes. Barbieri spectrophotometers provide accurate spectral measurement for profiling and color quality control in wallcoverings, laminates, furniture surfaces, flooring, panels, and other digital décor applications.

Digital Industrial and Decor Printing

Reliable color across diverse materials and surface structures

Digital industrial and décor printing covers a wide range of materials, including laminates, furniture boards, wallcoverings, flooring, panels, coated surfaces, and selected structured materials. Each combination of printing technology, ink, surface finish, and substrate influences the final color result.

Reliable color measurement is therefore essential for creating accurate profiles, reproducing design colors consistently, and maintaining color quality across production runs.

Barbieri spectrophotometers are developed for professional digital printing applications and provide repeatable spectral data on rigid, flexible, thick, transparent, and structured materials. Automated chart measurement and integration with leading RIP and Color Management solutions support efficient profiling and quality control workflows.

What Makes Color Control in Industrial and Décor Printing Difficult

Diverse materials and surface properties

Industrial and décor printing includes laminates, furniture boards, wallcoverings, flooring materials, coated panels, and other specialty surfaces. Differences in texture, gloss, opacity, thickness, and material structure influence both visual appearance and measurement repeatability.

Design color consistency

Décor applications often require consistent reproduction of design colors across different materials, batches, and production lines. Spectral measurement makes it possible to compare production samples with reference values and evaluate whether color differences remain within defined tolerances. This is particularly important when individual panels or components are installed next to each other.

Rigid, thick, and structured sample handling

Rigid boards, thick laminates, structured wallcoverings, and other specialty materials require stable sample positioning and a suitable measurement aperture. The measurement workflow must accommodate the physical properties of the sample without compromising repeatability.

Where Color Measurement Fits in Your Industrial and Décor Printing Workflow

Substrate characterization

Measure the color behavior of each printer, ink, print mode, surface finish, and material combination as the basis for accurate profiling.

ICC profiling and design color evaluation

Print and measure profiling charts to create accurate ICC profiles and compare design or brand colors with reference values and defined tolerances.

Production quality control

Measure control charts or production samples at defined intervals to identify color deviations and verify consistency between panels, batches, and production runs.

Barbieri Instruments

Color measurement documentation

Document measured results for design approval, production records, quality assurance, and comparison with defined color references or tolerances.

Recommended Accessories for Digital Industrial and Décor Printing

Extend your measurement setup with accessories designed to improve sample positioning and repeatability on rigid, heavy, flexible, and structured materials.

Set of 2 Sample Holders for thick and heavy media

Securely fixes rigid and heavy substrates up to 20 mm for safe automated measurement.

A pair of dedicated holders for measuring thick, rigid or heavy materials such as ceramic, glass, wood, plexiglas and rigid plastics. Holds substrates flat and stable during automated chart measurement, supporting media up to 20 mm thick on the Spectro LFP qb.

Electrostatic Sample Holder

Holds flexible substrates flat without adhesive for clean, repeatable measurements.

Uses an electrostatic charge to keep flexible non-textile substrates such as paper, film and thin plastics flat during measurement. Avoids residue or damage that adhesive holders can leave on sensitive materials. Ideal for graphic-arts and packaging substrates where surface integrity matters.
