The MCF is a color-matching system consisting of a spectrophotometer – stationary or portable – together with software specifically designed for screenp rinting.

Marabu-Color Formulator MCF-H

This portable, hand-held spectrophotometer, with a measuring geometry of d/8°, allows you to carry out measurements directly from the printing machine. You can store up to 500 color samples in the spectrophotometer. A sample from the running production can be compared to a stored sample, the color deviation is shown directly on the unit’s display. This unit runs with Marabu’s MCF software.

Marabu-Color Formulator MCF-S

A compact, station-ary spectrophoto-meter, it can be coupled with MCF-software. It has a measuring geometry of d/8° (like the portable, hand-held model) and operates with a spectral resolution of 10nm.
