Barbieri qb technology
The proprietary spectral measurement platform developed for professional digital printing. BARBIERI qb Technology combines defined measurement geometry, spectral sensing, supported measurement conditions, instrument control, and application specific configurations.
It supports measurement conditions defined by ISO 13655 for ICC profiling and color quality control.
Developed for the specific requirements of professional digital printing
BARBIERI qb Technology is the common spectral measurement foundation of the current BARBIERI instrument portfolio. It combines optical design, spectral detection, instrument control, calibration and reference routines, and application specific measurement configurations.
The technology is designed to provide reliable and repeatable spectral data across professional digital printing workflows involving rigid, flexible, transparent, thick, structured, and specialty materials.
BARBIERI qb Technology supports measurement conditions defined by ISO 13655. The resulting spectral data can be used in compatible RIP, profiling, and Color Management software for ICC profiling, printer calibration support, process verification, and color quality control.
This provides a reliable measurement foundation for professional profiling and color quality workflows.
