Why DeltaEZ May Be Better Suited Than a Traditional Tabletop Spectrophotometer/PC Based Color Measurement System

1. Investment & Cost Efficiency

Tabletop systems often cost tens of thousands of dollars to purchase, not including ongoing maintenance, software licensing, and calibration standards. DeltaEZ offers comparable accuracy for most real-world applications at a fraction of the price. This lower investment reduces financial risk and allows companies to scale color measurement to multiple facilities or lines without prohibitive costs.

2. Portability & Flexibility

Tabletop units are large, stationary, and require controlled environments. DeltaEZ is handheld and mobile-app powered, making it possible to measure anywhere—on the production floor, at supplier sites, or even during field inspections. This flexibility saves time and eliminates the bottleneck of sending samples to a lab.

3. Speed & Ease of Use

Operators can be trained on DeltaEZ in minutes, while tabletop systems often demand significant technical expertise. The intuitive smartphone interface of DeltaEZ streamlines workflows, enabling broader adoption across teams—quality, production, sourcing—without specialized staff.

4. Scalability & Access

With DeltaEZ, companies can equip multiple team members or facilities for the cost of a single tabletop unit. This democratizes access to color measurement, ensuring consistent standards across departments and suppliers, rather than relying on one centralized, overburdened device.

5. Maintenance & Support

Tabletop spectrophotometers often require expensive service contracts and downtime for recalibration or repairs. DeltaEZ has minimal maintenance requirements, and replacement or updates are far less disruptive and costly.

6. Fit for Industry Needs

For many industries, including automotive interiors, packaging, plastics, textiles, and coatings, the required tolerances can be confidently met with the accuracy of a portable spectrophotometer. DeltaEZ balances precision with practicality, delivering actionable data that meets customer and brand standards without over-engineering.

7. Total Cost of Ownership Advantage

When factoring in purchase price, training, staffing, maintenance, and productivity, DeltaEZ typically delivers ROI in months, not years. Companies gain accurate, consistent, and repeatable color control while avoiding the hidden costs of traditional systems.
