Ikaro Formula

Formulation Software

The additional option for full control of the formula.

An option in addition to the formulation received from Ikaro app: the ability to manage other formulation parameters and make multiple corrections.
The Ikaro Formula tool is a formulation software ideal for managing the reflectance curve sent by the Ikaro App and Spectro.

The software uses a calculation methodology based on complex and proven algorithms necessary for precise color formulation.

The tool is designed to enable total color management for both retailers and manufacturers, through color reformulation and the management of technical parameters integrated into the mobile app.

The goal of Ikaro Formula is to increasingly simplify the technical operations of the tinting machine operator through an intuitive interface and the flexibility of colorimetric tasks.

  1. Define component priorities 
  2. Vary the combinations of colorants 
  3. Modify the type and quantity of colorants 
  4. Obtain specific predictions of DE and CMC values based on the modified parameters 
  5. Identify the colorimetric coordinates of the sample and evaluate differences compared to the standard or reference batch 
  6. Customize tolerance values 
  7. Change the converter to be colored 
  8. Perform multiple corrections of the required color 

Plus

The retailer, possessing the reflectance curve and the color identification card, can simulate a real remote color reading and manage it in the best possible way.
