Mathis SmartScan – a novel system for the objective assessment of colour fastness values
SmartScan is a scanner-based instrument which accurately and reproducibly measures colour fastness values, such as fastness to washing, to water, to rubbing etc. Since it is a digital system, its values are objective and independent of the user – unlike subjective measurements of fastness values under a light booth.

SmartScan can grade colour changes and colour staining of any fastness test equivalent to ISO 105-A04 and A05. Optionally, it is also possible to evaluate light fastness tests according to the 8-step blue wool standard (ISO 105-B02).
SmartScan is a test method accredited according to ISO 17025 as equivalent to a spectrophotometric evaluation.

SmartScan may also be used to assess the colour differences of each individual colour in multi-coloured prints.
