PPG LINQ Color: Your shortcut to ultra-fast color matches
Achieving color accuracy in damage repair is easier than ever before. With PPG's new browser-based solution, your color search is
ultra- fast, easy, and flexible.
Whether you are a car painter looking for color accuracy or a body shop owner seeking efficiency, PPG LINQ™ Color could be the solution for you. With LINQ Color, you can improve your work processes and simplify color matching.
Simple and intuitive color search – anywhere, anytime
PPG LINQ™ Color is a color search program similar to PaintManager XI, but with more search functions and a more intuitive user interface. The program can be accessed from any device with an internet connection, which means that users are no longer tied to a single PC. This contributes to increased flexibility in your everyday work.
The program has a highly intuitive user interface and can be used by anyone after a short training session. The search field allows for any type of search, and the filtering options make it easy to find exactly what you are looking for.
Always up to date with the latest PPG color formulas
There is no need for manual software updates, as PPG's new formulas are available immediately. It is also possible to store data, customer formulas, and other relevant information in the cloud.
If a PC breaks down, color searches can be performed from any other device, and all history is stored securely in the cloud. In other words, you won't suffer any downtime if your PC fails.
Easy access – direct wireless connection
You can access PPG LINQ™ Color from any device with internet access, as it is a cloud-based solution. No installation is required.
The software allows you to mix colors via a variety of connected and wireless devices, including PPG MagicBox™- a small but powerful device that connects to the mixing scale and receives formulas directly from LINQ™ Color.
Multi-user access - share and collaborate with LINQ Color
A PPG LINQ™ Color account can have multiple users, each with their own profile, but all with access to the same color search history.
This means that a car's color can be scanned at reception, for example, and the painter in the mixing room can immediately see the result on their PC or laptop. If you have a LINQ Color account with sub-users, everyone will have access to the same information. This optimizes work processes across the workshop, as everyone has access to the same data and history for a color search. For example, if a co-worker does a scan at a panel shop, others in the body shop, e.g. the painter, will immediately be able to see the data/history of the color search in LINQ Color. There is no waiting time.
Fast and accurate color matches with PPG LINQ Color and PPG VisualizID
The speed of LINQ Color is a major advantage, especially when used together with PPG VisualizID. As it is a browser-based solution, there is no large amount of data taking up space on your PC and slowing it down. All you need is a good internet connection.
A color search in VisualizID can be done anywhere, and all users can see the results of a scan and give their assessment of the variants recommended by VisualizID.
VisualizID also allows filtering based on color variants, and you can, for example, search for a color code and go for the variants that are lighter/darker/bluer/redder, etc. than the standard and compare them in VisualizID. This makes it easy to find the perfect match.
