Friday, September 23, 2022 : Barbieri is proud to be honored with the Pinnacle InterTech Award 2022 for its Spectro LFP qb textile edition, the market leading spectrophotometer for large format and textile digital printing.
The Pinnacle InterTech Awards are sponsored by PRINTING United Alliance and recognize innovative technologies which are expected to have a major impact on the graphic communications and related industries.
The “Spectro LFP qb Textile Edition” is the worldwide unique spectrophotometer for automated color measurement for digital textile printing including dye-sublimation and direct-to-garment printing.
The technology comes with unique features for accurate, fast, and reliable color measurement on textiles.
“The Pinnacle InterTech Award program celebrates the inventiveness of suppliers and recognizes technology advancing our industry,” says Dawn Nye, program manager, PRINTING United Alliance. “The judges had the tough task of singling out breakthrough innovations from many excellent entries. We congratulate all who participated and those who were designated with this award.”
Heart piece of the technology is the vision technology, a camera and software detect the center of each patch to be measured and the measurements are done fully automatically in scan mode – even if the material is challenging to measure.
This makes it possible to measure fully automatically and with highest precision and repeatability any kind of textiles and fabrics.
“Digital Textile printing is a massively growing market, and we are committed to strive for constant innovation by listening to our customers and partners. The whole Barbieri team is proud to have been recognized with this honorable award” said Markus Barbieri, CTO of Barbieri electronic. “Our Spectro LFP qb textile edition supports customers to become top performers and improve and optimize their color management and achieve highest color quality on different textile materials”

The “Spectro LFP qb Textile Edition” is the worldwide unique spectrophotometer for automated color measurement for digital textile printing including dye-sublimation and direct-to-garment printing.
Without Color Management printing accurate color on textiles is almost impossible. Color management, including calibration and ICC profiling involves measurement of several hundreds of patches and dedicated color charts.
Accurate color measurement on digitally printed textile materials is challenging and often almost impossible.
Color charts are often distorted and therefore difficult to fix.
The innovative Spectro LFP qb textile edition comes with unique features for accurate, fast and reliable color measurement on textiles.
It has dedicated software and accessories who makes it possible to measure fully automatically and with highest precision and repeatability any kind of textiles and fabrics.
Heart piece of the technology is the vision technology, a camera and software detect the center of each patch to be measured and the measurements will be done fully automatically in scan mode – even if the chart is distorted.
A special sample holder for textiles fixes the textile firmly, thus eliminates the pain on how to fix a textile or fabric properly to allow it to be measured.
An integrated air blowing system helps to blow out dust and fibers from inside the optics to keep it clean and guarantees constant accuracy.
The battery-operated measurement head can be detached for manual spot measurements and results sent to the computer.
