Why printers pick the Nix color sensor
Color QC anywhere on the floor
Both Nix models are portable and connect by Bluetooth to the Nix Toolkit app. Check color at the press, on the fabric line, or on the road.
Handles brightened papers and fabrics
M0, M1 and M2 measurement modes let you read media with optical brighteners, so your numbers match what your customer sees.
Spectrophotometer and densitometer in one
Read spectral color data and ink density with the same device, plus manage your color libraries in the Nix Toolkit app.
Small samples are no problem
The Nix Spectro 2 measures samples down to 3mm for threads and small swatches. The Spectro L uses a 16mm aperture built for print production.

Two Nix color sensors, one goal: color you can trust
The Nix Spectro 2 is a small portable spectrophotometer that fits in a shirt pocket. It suits textile floors, DTG garment spot checks and small-swatch color QC where samples are tiny.
The Nix Spectro L is built for print production. Its larger 16mm aperture, haptic and RGB feedback, and adapter range make it a strong fit for wide-format signage, on-press density checks, liquid ink batches and powders.
