What our customers say:
"After start-up of the system the advantages that had been expected were realized soon:
1.Reduction of waste during grade change by 25 to 50%
2. ..."
"However, no matter how intense and wide ranging the preparation for this project, it could not replace a certain – and as we know today, well justified – trust in the know-how of GretagMacbeth." Dipl. Ing. (FH) Martin Kaltenegger,Plant Manager LEIPA Georg Leinfelder GmbH, Schrobenhausen, Germany Abstract from the articel: "Start-Up and Optimization ..." (Englisch Translation), Wochenblatt für Papierfabrikation 17/2008
"In the olden days they needed between 30 and 50 min. to get the necessary colorimetrical results in the furbish. With the new technology 15-20 min. are sufficient."
"The colorimeter has done away the sampling and lab measuring which took time and effort. The operator can now concentrate on other jobs like controlling the input of fillers and/or chemicals." Michael Fürster, Lenzing Papier, Lenzing, Austria Abstract from the articel: "More profit with color Measurement", ipw 4/2005
"With such an increase in production the customer simply has to be satisfied, and the investment into the on-line color management is fully justified." "The exact color control (online) makes for precisely meeting the predefined L*, a*, b* values. ΔE* values of 0.1 to 0.2 are realized."
"Little maintenance effort required." Oliver Csirits, Technical Director, Mondi Raubling, Germany Customer presentation at user seminar September 2008
"Since we started using the On-Line Closed Loop Color Control from GretagMacbeth we have no more complaints about color from our customers.” Udo Habnit, Technology/Quality insurance, Arctic Paper Mochenwangen, Germany
Customer presentation at user seminar October 2009

"One Year after the installation the results are very positive, better than everyone expected. The return on investment was calculated by the reduction of waste only, and paid off immediately."
"Personally I believe that for every paper mill, which follows the concept of the ISO certification a system for continuous color control by GretagMacbeth is an inevitable step into the future." Ing. Paolo Pagani, 3P s.r.l. Paper Production Promotion, Italy Abstract from the article: "Fabriano", Industria della carta, 6/2002
