Introducing PANTONE® CAPSURE™
A New and Unique Way to Measure Color
Today's color measurement devices don’t “Measure Up”. You are limited to color fan decks, color finder
devices and spectrophotometers. Current solutions lack:
• Ability to measure wide range of inspirational objects and surfaces
• Affordable price point while still delivering accurate measurements
• Flexibility for remote use
• Integration with software applications to go beyond just color selection
Introducing CAPSURE - A compact, handheld device that lets graphic arts design
professionals, paint retailers, contractors and do-it-yourselfers confidently measure
and match color inspiration instantly – from small, multi-colored objects to textured
fabrics, patterns, walls and carpeting. CAPSURE significantly speeds the process of
color selection while delivering design accuracy.
Advanced Image Capture Technology
CAPSURE uses powerful tri-directional image capture technology to provide accurate color
measurement
• Eliminates the shadows and interference inherent to patterned and textured materials
and surfaces
• Independent, tri-directional illuminated image capture; simultaneously records 27 images
in 1.6 seconds
• Extracts up to 4 dominant colors from an intricate pattern so the viewer can clearly
identify the desired color
• Provides unsurpassed accuracy through advanced illumination and capture technology
• Compensates for gloss and surface variations – cross match any material or surface

CAPSURE Technology for Ink & Print
• CAPSURE is unique technology and not a spectrophotometer or colorimeter
• Always returns a match to a color in the loaded libraries. It only provides color data for the matched color, not for the
actual sample that is measured (unlike a spectrophotometer)
• Can pick colors out of a multi-colored sample which is an advantage over a traditional spectrophotometer or
colorimeter

and production
• Can also measure printed text at least 1mm in size
