We call the VIC-1501 the ink mixing scale, but there are thousands of other uses
and the VIC-1501 digital scale is not designed only for ink mixers but hobbyist,
people mix adhesives and school teachers also buy the VIC-1501 for science experiments.
Acculab VIC-1501 [1500g x 0.1g] operates on either AC Adapter (included with scale)
or 9V battery, offers a large 5.5" x 5.0" weighing pan all at a fabulous
price. Built in Arvata, Colorado and backed with a 2-year parts and labor
limited factory warranty!
VIC-1501 portable toploading scale is brand new and offers so many new features
to the predecessor VI-1200 that we would really say throw your old Acculab VI-1200
away since the VICON is a much, much better balance. Watch out for those
auction sites trying to sell these discontinued VI-1200's since you are really
missing out on many new features and performance and buying old technology.
In our opinion there is no comparison between the older VI-1200 and the new VICON
VIC-1501. You can notice immediately Acculab increased the weighing capacity
from 1200 gram to 1500 grams - an increase of 25% more balance for your money.
Acculab balances are excellent weighing solutions, but often times, our customers are looking for a lower cost balance without all the bells and whistles included in an
Acculab balance. For our customers seeking a simplified digital balance, with less features than Acculab's products, we recommend My Weigh brand balances.
My Weigh's i2600 balance offers 2600g x 0.1g at a much more affordable price.
Additional features include: weigh below underhook
feature for density determination; flip-down protective cover that is removable
and protects your scale and teachers love this feature since the scales are now
stackable; optional USB interface (most laptops only have USB ports); more applications
(now percent function, hold feature, totalizing, specific gravity), larger selection
of weigh modes, new display with backlit for easy viewing especially in poor lighting
environments, and a completely new electronics for much better performance (see
the pictures at the bottom of the page since we took a scale part). Bottom
line is the VICON is a much, much better digital scale.
The new VICON series are ideal balances for Industrial, Laboratories, Research,
Educational, Specialty Weighing Applications and more. Whether weighing
multiple samples with totaled results, formulating a color, counting, percent
weighing, specific gravity, or under pan weighing, Acculab has the answer in VICON.
The VIC-1501 is popular with plastisol screen printers for mixing a quart or
less of ink. If you are looking to mix greater than a quart and up to
1 gallon most printers buy the Sartorius
GE7101 since a gallon of white plastisol ink has the most pigment weighing
around 6800 grams.

Before you decide to purchase an Acculab Vicon digital scale
we suggest you review the My Weigh product line.
For those of you shopping around for the best price in digital portable scales, My Weigh makes the least expensive pocket scales
we have to offer. These affordable scales may not have all the features that an Acculab balance has, however as far as
basic weighing is concerned, My Weigh portable scales can accomplish the task at hand and save you money.
