I'm trying to find an electronic organizer to hold and organize over 6000 paint panels with their own number
Question:Kind of like a vending machine so when you punch in the number, the panel with fall down into a slot or something like that.
Answers:
No. This would require over 6000 cartridges.
Better off using the colour information to create a database that will high quality print the formulated colour onto a small chit on demand.
Our database has about 3000 colours in it with the colour number and colour formula. When we want to produce samples we simply nominate the code and print it on the spot.
The colour WILL NOT BE EXACT. Even the professional colour cards are not, because they are printed.
I realize that this will be a big job, but I would use a Digital camera. and place the swatches (Numbered) in page size
rows. Then Photograph them.
You could then take these photos and open a web storage site such as www.fotki.com where you could save these photos.
When you need to look one up , it would be a click away on your site.
Store the origional panels in secure plastic storage bins.
if you need one you can go to the storage and pull it out after identifying it from your site.
You could also save these photo's on discs too, for use outside the relm of your computer.
