To answer this question, you first need to clarify your specific needs: 

• Is it for simple color quality control (QC)?

• To coordinate with supply chain color management?

• To monitor on-line color stability?

• Do you require computer color matching or production color correction?

• What is your budget?

• Systematic supervision and evaluation of color performance in dyed products?

If you aren’t fully clear about your requirements at the initial stage, our color management engineers are ready to communicate with you. We will recommend solutions tailored to your needs. When conditions permit, we can provide prototype demonstrations and trial testing to ensure the instrument meets your practical application requirements.

Make sure the light sources are calibrated, keep extraneous light sources away, have the correct viewing angles, and handle the samples in a clean and uniform manner.

A paint gloss meter is used to measure the level of paint gloss, whereby it reflects light at some angles, such as 20°, 60°, or 85° angles, and measures the intensity of that light. To measure surface sheen, the level of gloss is compared to standards that are calibrated and reported in units of gloss (GU).

Color measurement methods involve visual approximation (against color charts), colorimetry (by means of filters and detectors), spectrophotometry (a more detailed spectral analysis), and image analysis by computer. These are color measurement methods that are applied in the laboratory, production, and quality assessment.

Every 2,000 - 3,000 hours or manufacturer recommendation to maintain consistent light and color quality.

Inaccurate color rendering, mismatched results, and noncompliance with ISO 3664 or ASTM D1729 can occur when there are deviations.

A colorimeter sends light through a solution and measures the amount that is absorbed. It computes the absorbance by comparing the intensity of light before and after passing through. The greater the concentration of the color, the greater is the absorption of the light. It is also possible to quantify the color of the solution.

The CCC is much like the CAC yet it frequently has advanced programmable lighting, sophisticated electronic control systems that allow for light source switching, and advanced visual testing.

For complete color evaluation, the CAC is commonly outfitted with D65 (daylight), TL84 (store light), F (home light), UV, and CWF (cool white fluorescent) lamps. 

Our machine is packed by standard export wooden box, it won’t be damaged. We’ve delivered many testing machines abroad by sea or by air without damage.
