Yes mate it does. Heres the link... http://www.metamark.co.uk/pages_sv/mmapp.html
Metamark e-Brick.

Metamark has launched a new 'e-Brick' app for iPhone, Android and Blackberry which makes it even easier to select and match Metamark SignVinyl colours.
Metamark’s hefty “Brick” SignVinyl and Speciality Materials swatch now has a somewhat lighter-weight e-cousin. The e-Brick takes a useful chunk of Metamark’s Brick’s contents, the 4 Series and 7 Series SignVinyl ranges, and packs it into an intuitive and easy-to-use app that makes material colour selection and specification even easier still.
The new app uses the phone's camera to capture images of anything its user might want to survey. The captured images can be saved and subsequently examined in close detail using a touch-controlled cursor. The app dynamically calculates and displays the closest available Metamark SignVinyl matches for the image area under the cursor’s focus.


Captured images and corresponding selected matches can be saved for future reference and the entire swatch can also be browsed without making a match reference to an image. Full product data sheets are also stored within the app and it’s possible to e-mail Metamark directly from the application too.

I am still stocking up on Vinyl (as not long started in the business) and was using Tinterweb.. Convenient but the postage charge were killing me.

Today I found a company in Norwich (My Town) who are trade suppliers 'Signforce' - I went in asking for a Swatch and a price list.. came out with a 'Fan' swatch and a (Slightly out-dated) price list so was very happy indeed as only last night I had a customer come over but had no way of accurately defining which colour he needed - now I do.

They have been in business for the past fifteen years and in all of that time their main Vinyl supplier is Metamark, so - that's good enough for me.

The 'Swatch' I have is called 'The Brick' (the physical one) but will toddle off now to find the App mentioned above.

Oh, and Metamark have downloadable swatches for Flexi, Corel etc which makes things look great when designing with a customer sitting next to you :)

Quite a fruitful day for me all in all (Hope I haven't spoken too soon as there is still an hour and a half to go and the other half is not home from work yet - Her Bike ran out of petrol on the way out.. so I had to go on a rescue mission).

..oh, and here's what I came away with:

Boohoo... They must have updated their swatch block (brick) since I received mine. My one looks more like a magazine type fan. That one looks real pro!

You can contact them to ask for a Sample pack - I'm sure they will send you an updated one. I notice in the prices book (03/12) these are £8.50 !

Very pleased to announce that One of this mornings deliveries was a new Sample Pack fro Metamark - another Swatch (The Brick), the folding 4 page wall swatch (which I really want to build into one of my benches under Glass) - 2x other A4 swatches: Banner, Heat Transfer Flex, and another separate one for 7tr Calendered vinyl.. Oh, and 'Etch Effect' with a little window. New Digital Media and Vinyl price guide - they even sent a small package with wall pins.

I am blown away by the presentation. I would post an image but I don't want to make anyone cry :)

P.S. The advanyage of having the 4 page foldout 'Picker' is you have the 'reflective' range on there which is missing from the Brick.
