PRODUCTION PROCESSES PRODUCTS AND SERVICES SUSTAINABILITY REFERENCES HISTORY CONTACTS Production processes The production process of a color sample book is a real art that combines talent, sensitivity, very high professionalism and obsessive attention to detail. It involves taking a developed color on any support, such as metal, wood, plastic, concrete, plasterboard, and reproducing it on paper as faithfully as possible. The fidelity of reproduction is the key point, it means respecting and replicating not only the tone, but also the structure and brilliance of the original color. This process takes place through two fundamental phases: the tinting of the color and its production on an industrial scale. Tinting The tinting takes place in our two color laboratories where our colorists, all professionals with unique skills and know-how, reproduce the customer's original reference on the new paper support. To do this, they use the customer's original paint, or one of the lines of paint products that we make available to our customers. To make this phase flawless, we equip our colourists with the most advanced color research and analysis tools, but the last word always rests with the human eye, which remains the most reliable tool on reproduction accuracy. The result of the laboratory activity is then submitted to the customer for approval, and subsequently, the sample is produced on an industrial scale. Industrial production Our production can use two different systems: coating and spraying. Coating is the most widespread system, it has the advantage of being very flexible, both in terms of product and format, and it is also very competitive in economic terms. The quality offered in terms of accuracy is very high, especially in the case of pastel colors. Spraying represents a generational leap. It is an innovative system, designed with specific reference to metallic colors and therefore ideal for customers in the car refinishing sector, for whom the sample collection is a real working tool capable of decreeing the success or failure of a product line. as well as an indispensable tool for the work of the coachbuilder. The incredible accuracy of the sprayed color is obtained by applying the paint on the paper, using a procedure almost identical to that used for painting cars in assembly lines. The homogeneity and coverage of the color are obtained by spraying three layers of base color and one of gloss on the paper support. The whole process takes place online, within a fully automated plant. The uniformity of production is guaranteed by keeping its main parameters, such as the viscosity of the paint, the pressure of the guns, the drying temperature and the humidity inside the system, under strict control. The sample, be it coating or spraying, is subjected to the final check by the customer, who verifies its accuracy with respect to the laboratory sample and the original reference. The uniformity of the production is verified by comparing samples of different moments of the production process.
