Datacolor Introduces CloudQC Viewer, a SaaS Color Quality Control Application
Datacolor, a global leader in color management solutions, announced today the beta release of CloudQC Viewer, a SaaS color quality control (QC) application designed to assist color professionals with the evaluation of digital color samples from anywhere, at any time.
The CloudQC Viewer application is part of Datacolor’s digital cloud platform. It is a simple, user-friendly, on-demand QC application for anyone looking to evaluate color digitally. This release can import QTX files, display color patches, and colorimetric data, and allow collaboration on evaluation results. Future releases will include features like data storage and device connectivity.
“COVID-19 accelerated the need for a more flexible way to manage color, increasing demand for digitalization and the ability to work remotely,” said Albert Busch, President, and CEO, Datacolor. “To meet the changing needs of color professionals, we decided to design an easy-to-use, cloud-based quality control solution enabling users to evaluate and manage color accurately from anywhere, at any time. We are excited to bring CloudQC Viewer to the market today. This beta version will be free, and we are eager to gather user feedback to further develop this application in line with customer needs.”
The CloudQC Viewer gives color generalists including users who have no digital color management processes in place, the freedom and ability to work wherever their color evaluation job takes them, whether at home, in the office, or on the road.
“I could start using the CloudQC immediately for lap dip evaluations. It will speed communication with my internal teams,” said Amber Ross, Quality Assurance Specialist at Cintas, a Datacolor customer. “Sharing digital files instead of printouts will improve the process and reduce carbon footprint.”
