Tinter and Base Stock for Paint Dealers
Dispensing eats two things at once, colourant from the canisters and paint from the base pack. Both are counted here, so neither runs dry in the middle of a job.
Colourant canisters
Base packs
What the consumption figures show
Jobs closed over a period add up to colourant drawn and base packs used. Put beside the bottles received, that tells the owner whether consumption and purchase agree. Where they do not, purging, spillage and spoiled tins are the usual reasons, and each is already recorded with a note. The figures are read from your own entries, not estimated. Nothing is assumed about yield.
What the client decides
- Which colourants sit on the machine and which bases you stock
- The level at which a canister or base is called low
- Who may write off purged or spilt colourant
- Whether a second machine keeps a separate canister count
Frequently asked questions
Does it measure colourant straight from the machine?
No. The quantity comes off the dispensing job entered at the counter, so the count is as good as what your staff record.
Can purging be left out of the count?
It can, though the figures then drift. Writing purged colourant off keeps consumption and bottles received close to each other.
Why are bases held separately from finished shades?
Because a job needs one base and one pack size. Once tinted, the tin is a shade and no longer interchangeable.
Is there a warning before a canister empties?
Yes. A canister below the level you set is listed for the operator and the counter, with the jobs still waiting on it.
