With features like an open transmission chamber, rotatable touchscreen, and UV-inclusive lighting, it is a versatile and reliable tool for color quality control across various materials and applications.

Features

1. Supports both reflectance (D/8) and transmittance (D/0) measurements, with SCI/SCE and UV-included or excluded light options for versatile sample evaluation.

2. Features a 10.5-inch rotatable display pad with camera positioning and 128GB internal storage for enhanced usability and data management.

3. Enables multiple measurement orientations—side, upward, and downward (with accessories)—to accommodate various sample shapes and sizes.

4. Open transmission chamber design allows the testing of samples with thickness up to 54mm, perfect for plastics, films, and liquid samples.

5. Automatically compensates for environmental changes in temperature and humidity to maintain high accuracy and stability.

6. Integrated full-spectrum combined LED light source with optional 400nm, 420nm, and 460nm cut-off filters, ensuring precision even for fluorescent or UV-sensitive samples.

Applications

1. Ideal for use in the paint and ink industries for accurate color matching and batch consistency.

2. Applied in textile and garment manufacturing to maintain color standards across different materials and dye lots.

3. Utilized in printing and dyeing operations for evaluating color fastness, opacity, and metamerism.

4. Supports plastics and packaging production by analyzing transparency, haze, and light transmission.

5. Suitable for laboratories and research institutes for high-level color science, sample comparison, and spectral analysis.

6. Used in quality assurance departments to verify compliance with industry color standards and certifications.
