      CM-700d and CM-600d - Vertically aligned portable sphere type spectrophotometers

      The Konica Minolta devices CM-700d and CM-600d are portable spherical spectrophotometers with a vertical design. In each measurement, the gloss inclusion (SCI) and gloss exclusion data are measured to analyze the surface finish of the sample. A large color LCD display for numerical and graphical data analysis enables color measurement with unprecedented simplicity. Simple and intuitive user guidance in 6 languages ​​guarantees maximum efficiency for daily color quality testing in the laboratory or production. In addition, the CM-700d offers a 3mm measuring aperture so that even the smallest patterns can be measured perfectly.

    2. Color and texture effects combined cost-effectively in one tool

      Color and texture effects combined cost-effectively in one tool

      Eschmann Textures International GmbH, Gummersbach, in cooperation with GRAFE, Blankenhain, has developed a new method with which a wide variety of colour and texture effects can be cost-effectively combined in a blow mould. The basis is a digitally printed, flexible film carrier for which the process is named - Digiflex. It offers cost and time optimisation and is suitable for rapid design validation, material testing and product evaluation. Short series production is also possible.

Natural Resilience Calm blue tones with a delicate mint green reflect the fragility of nature. Joyful Uprising Optimism and creative energy unfold in a brightly colored mix. A tangible source of inspiration But GRAFECOLORS 2026/27 is more than just a trend brochure: with the matching sample box, it serves as a source of inspiration for designers and allows them to experience the colors haptically through their interpretation in plastic. Accompanying the booklet is a selection of sample tiles in a distinctive hexagonal shape. Each tile shows its own combination of polymer, trend color formulation, surface, and effect pigment. In addition to conventional plastics of petrochemical origin such as PA, PAGF30, SAN, PETG, and recycled rPETG, biological alternatives such as PLA, PHA, and ARBOBLEND V2 also serve as base polymers for the hexagons. Whether opaque, translucent, or transparent, with or without optical effects, in petrochemical or biological polymers—the colorists at the GRAFE DESIGN CENTER are always a source of creative inspiration for a wide variety of industries.

    6. colored rings coding on the hose

      colored rings coding on the hose

      The hose coding from Michel Tube is available in defined colors, in which pipe connectors and/or hoses are also available. The ring coding is a ring that is placed over the hose and slides onto the hose coupling due to gravity. When the hose is changed, the ring falls out and is not disposed of with the worn hose. The ring coding offers a simple and cost-effective way to identify lines and coupling points with colors. This marks machines and makes incorrect coupling more difficult.
