At Ultrimax, we know that precision colour-matching is crucial for our customers. Whether refinishing a product or spraying bespoke colour kitchen units, colour accuracy matters. That's why we've updated our colour-matching system with the latest Colormax® technology and made a few other changes to give our customers the perfect colour every time.
Our new colour-matching system brings tinting laboratory-level accuracy to our customers but at a much lower cost.
It couldn't be a simpler process for our customers.
Say goodbye to those 'off' colour matches when you repeat an order. Our new system allows us to draw down and spray out a sample from the original colour match so we can keep a physical record for you. The next time you order, we'll pull out the spray-off paint card and check the new colour order against the original batch.
We can do the same for retail customers and branded colours too. So, for example, if a joiner asks us for a regular supply of Little Greene Slaked Lime Medium, we can scan the colour into the system and then draw down every month or so to show that we are matching that colour as closely as possible.
In addition to upgrading our system to tinting lab quality technology, we have switched from using a white base to a clear base for colour matching.
Why?
Most colour-matching services use a white base because adding colourant to an already white base is cheaper than using a clear base. However, white bases vary in shade and tone from batch to batch, which is bad news for repeat orders.
So, we now begin with a clear base to which we add colour droplets, including white. This process is more costly than using a white base, but the colour match is far more accurate and consistent between batches.
