This product has been an incredibly disappointing experience.1) the claim "Easily integrates captured colors into your design programs - Adobe Creative Suite and QuarkXPress" is false. X-Rite Pantone tells me this was a "typo". There is no way to get the data out of the device2) the device doesn't give you the color value for the color you are scanning, it gives you the color value for the closest color. I need to instruct my vendor on our Delta E and where to move from current samples. I can do neither since I cannot get a reading of the color in front of me.3) the support for the product has been horrible so far. it took me a week to get the "this was a typo, I hope this didn't cause any inconvenience" chat back. Inconvenience? I spent nearly $800 on a device that wasn't as advertised and now doesn't do the most basic of functions - give me the color value of the color in front of me.I have an $800 paperweight, barely used. Unacceptable.

If you are looking for a device that simply matches PMS colors from your samples this is probably perfect. The documentation says it gives RGB, CMYK, and LAB values. Well, it sort-of does. But not really. What it does is match to the closest PMS color, then it gives you the LAB values of the PMS color itself. It doesn't display actual LAB values of the sample. For example, I created a swatch, scanned it, it gave me a PMS color, lab values, CMYK, etc. I altered the swatch slightly, reprinted, re-scanned. It was just slightly different than the original scan but different enough that you could see the variation by eye. CAPSure chose the same PMS color (which I expected since the samples were quite close) but it also gave the exact same LAB values for both samples. That clued me in. I called x-rite to find out for sure and they explained that THIS version of the CAPSure is just a PMS color match device. It compares sample to its PMS catalog, then tells you the closest PMS match. It seemed to work just fine in that capacity. But what it does not do is give you numerical values for the colors you scan. It is not, in that sense, a spectrophotometer.

Ich besitze und arbeite seit Jahren mit einem RM200 von Caparol. Vor kurzem habe ich mir die Bluetooth Version von Pantone geholt. In der Produktbeschreibung von X-RIte (der Hersteller) steht: "Kinderleicht können Sie die neuesten Farbkollektionen in Ihr CAPSURE hochladen. Mit der integrierten Software können Sie neue Farbkollektionen problemlos hinzufügen und synchronisieren." Das Pantone Gerät besitzt nur die Pantone Farbkarten und das hinzufügen von z.B. RAL oder NCS ist laut technischer Support nicht möglich. Damit ist das Gerät für mich nicht brauchbar. Die Antwort des Mitarbeiters aus dem technischen Support war: Wir sind hier nicht, um jeden zu helfen. :)Aus der Produktbeschreibung hier kann man auch nicht erkennen, für welche Farbkarten das Gerät ein Lizenz besitzt und wird durch die Hersteller Beschreibung in die Irre geführt.

Produit sympa, pratique, mais la couleur pantone affichée à l'écran ne corresponds pas toujours à l'échantillon. Et ça c'est pas possible.....

Not accurate.Software is not user friendly to find colour

I was worried spending almost $600 for this product would be a mistake but after using the product for only a few minutes, I am glad I made the purchase. Color accuracy in my field of business (Fashion) is VERY important and this Pantone CAPSURE Color Matcher is far better than the Pantone color app available for cel phones which do not always account for natural light or a harsh yellow light when trying to identify the correct color you're looking to identify. I now can place the Pantone Capsure over a fabric swatch and easily identify the correct corresponding color in the Pantone color spectrum. I normally have great difficulty with identifying the EXACT color from the thousands of colors in the Pantone Matching System but this product makes color identification very easy.
