The five common gloss levels are:

1. Flat/Matte (0–10 GU)

2. Eggshell (10–25 GU)

3. Satin (26–40 GU)

4. Semi-gloss (41–70 GU)

High Gloss (71–100+ GU)
These levels vary slightly depending on industry and standards used.

 A spectrophotometer illuminates a sample with light or passes light through it and records the reflected or transmitted light over the wavelength range. It transforms this data into color coordinates (such as L*a*b*), allowing accurate color assessment as well as color comparison to standards.

Of course. Light booths can determine the color of plastic materials, paints, and coatings used in cosmetics, leather, and even pottery. Light booths used to assess and determine precise color comparison can be used on a variety of materials.

Inconsistent results from a haze meter can stem from issues like calibration, dusty haze meter optics, inadequate power supply, and improper measurement technique. If you have any questions, you can contact our Haze measurement experts

A calorimeter is used to measure heat that is gained or lost during a chemical or physical reaction. A sample is taken in an insulated container, and a temperature change is measured. This assists in computing the alterations in energy by the equation Q = mcΔT, where Q is heat.

To keep a neutral background, helping to reduce color distortion and bias.

For a proper color evaluation, ensure cleanliness, use standardized observation conditions, eliminate stray light, and periodically change the lamps.

There is no generic mathematical formula for gloss value. Rather, it is measured directly with a gloss meter, which compares how strongly reflected light from a sample matches a standard (typically black glass with a known reflectance).

When using a Pantone light box, each sample should be positioned flat and nearby the other samples, but not overlapping. Each one should also be in the middle of the light box, and the surfaces of the light box should be clean and non-reflective.
