Barbieri Electronics Launches The Spectro Swing qb 6 mm for Enhanced Color Measurement Precision
Bressanone – February 2026 – BARBIERI electronics expands its successful Swing qb platform with the launch of the Spectro Swing qb 6 mm, designed to deliver enhanced stability and confidence in color measurement across increasingly diverse digital printing applications.
It offers automated reflection and transmission measurements, supports M0, M1 and M2 measurement conditions according to ISO 13655, and features Ethernet and USB-C connectivity.
The 6 mm version is particularly suited for applications such as labels and flexible packaging, decorative papers and wallpapers (flat samples), uncoated or grainy commercial papers, and substrates with high ink coverage or visible surface structure.
By delivering optimized performance on these materials, the instrument enables print professionals to expand into demanding market segments with confidence.
Within the Spectro Swing qb family, the positioning is clear: the 2 mm version provides maximum precision on smooth, uniform surfaces, while the new 6 mm version delivers increased stability on textured or visually noisy surfaces.
“The new 6 mm version meets the growing demand for stable color measurement on visually noisy surfaces, extending the proven and easy to operate Spectro Swing qb to further digital printing applications” ; Stefan Barbieri ; CEO, BARBIERI electronics
With this addition, Barbieri further strengthens its leadership in professional color measurement, empowering print providers to maintain color consistency, reduce variability, and ensure predictable production results across a broader range of substrates.
