HIGH POINT, N.C. -- MaestroHue, a digital color-matching system developed by Chemcraft, AkzoNobel’s specialist wood coatings brand, was shown at AWFS Fair.

MaestroHue is a color system that allows distributors the ability to match almost any color with accuracy and minimal waste. It means customers no longer have to tint by hand, leading to a faster turnaround time.

Once a color is matched, a customer can save the exact formulation for future use. And by enabling faster throughput, it means orders can be processed quicker, with no mistints and no need for labor-intensive manual tinting.

“Our new MaestroHue system helps customers drive business growth by enabling products to be tinted faster, with exceptional color accuracy,” explains Anthony Woods, AkzoNobel’s segment marketing director for Wood Coatings. “It was created with distributors in mind and is perfect for adding efficiency to their color kitchens.”

Tinting by hand not only takes more time, it also makes it harder to repeat an exact mix of the same color time and time again. One of the key benefits of MaestroHue is that customer formulations can be stored in the software’s library for future use, eradicating mistints and delivering maximum repeatability.

Specifically formulated to deliver guaranteed color accuracy with compatible bases, MaestroHue produces consistently accurate colors with repeatability within 0.1dE. It also allows distributors to adjust colors if needed. See http://chemcraft.com/index.php/en/
