Barbieri Spectro LFP qb Textile edition

The Spectro LFP qb Textile Edition is a unique, fully automated solution for precise colour measurement in digital dye-sublimation and direct-to-garment printing. Built on the proven Spectro LFP qb platform, it includes dedicated software and accessories designed to deliver exceptional accuracy and repeatability across all types of textiles and fabrics.

A specialised holder keeps textiles firmly in place, while an integrated camera and smart software detect the centre of each colour patch—even on distorted charts—ensuring fully automatic and reliable measurements.

The detachable measurement head enables manual spot readings, with results transmitted directly to the computer. This two-in-one device supports both automatic and spot measurements with unmatched precision, maximising colour accuracy throughout your workflow.

The Spectro LFP qb Textile Edition is the world’s only solution for fully automated colour measurement in digital textile printing. It offers precise reflection and transmission measurements on materials up to 20 mm thick, including textiles, using a variable 2–6–8 mm measurement aperture. Its advanced target recognition technology ensures accurate measurement of even distorted textile samples.
