| The website for the Colorino has changed to:
|
| http://www.ic-online.co.uk/
|
| The Colorino appears to be priced at £82.24.
|
| Jackie, is this a much more reliable unit than the Cobolt? From what you
| say it seems so, but there is an even more expensive one from Caretec in
| Austria, and I just wonder what the differences are.

| Hi Andy
|
| It sounds knackered then, the poor chap.
|
| I bought my Colorino from a company called S W Retail, and I think it was
| about the same price as the Cobolt detector, £50.
|
| I must say I use them both regularly. The Cobolt detector, as you know,
has
|
| a wide head which makes it good for distinguishing clothing. But I like
the
|
| Colorino for smaller items, and for getting more detail out of an item of
| clothing like embroidery and stripes. For example, today I've put on a
very
|
| deep pink top which has a grey stripe down the arms. The Cobolt detector
| told me it is red, whereas the Colorino says it is intensive pink. The
head
|
| on the Colorino is smaller, so you can get more detail from tiny items. I
| wanted to put some jewellery on to match the top, and I got the colours I
| wanted from the Colorino. I'm a bit fussy about dress code, so I spend a
| bit of time doing my utmost to get it all co-ordinated. And if both fail,
I
|
| go and ask my son if I'm dressed to kill (smile.)
|
| The contact details for this company are:
| sales@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
| or
| http://www.swretail.fsnet.co.uk/
|
| Hope this is of some use.
|
| Jackie
