Description
BetaColor Viewer Model 3 (10X-12X-20X)
Visual LED CMYK Color Separation & Print Inspection Tool
The BetaColor Viewer Model 3 is the industry standard for visual color evaluation. It replaces older tungsten-bulb viewers with advanced LED technology to help you visualize and correct ink, toner, paper, and substrate issues instantly.
See Invisible Yellow & Correct Defects
Simple and Straightforward: Place the viewer over your print sample and press the color-coded button. The contrasting LEDs make yellow ink appear as black, allowing you to easily detect:
- Print Defects: Slur, Doubling, and Trapping issues.
- Process Control: Ink/Water Balance and Registration.
- Material Issues: Fluorescence and Metamerism in inks and papers.
