Do you want to measure the colour of - well, pretty much anything - and get back very accurate colour numbers in RGB, CMYK, LAB or Pantones?  Then this is the device for you!

Whole businesses have been built on measuring, for example, client's furniture then creating custom artworks to match.  This device makes the measurement side trivially easy - you can just carry this small device around in your kit to the client's site, make a bunch of measurements by just clicking a button, and then later sync these to your computer and use the software to build palettes for your creative processes.  You can even take a laptop out in the field with you and do the work on site!
