Threenh Technology with excellent after sale service, Generally, Our warranty is one years(Additional support period of 3 years). Within the warranty period, we can offer technique support and parts to parts change, necessarily, our engineers may go to your place for better support. Our instrument have professional After-sales Dept. lf you have any technical problem or question with our goods welcome to contact us.

Color evaluation will change based on how a sample is viewed.  A 45° viewing angle to the source is recommended to reduce shading and achieve consistent comparison.

Since part of the light will pass through the light-transmitting materials, the colorimeter is not suitable for color measurement of such kinds of materials; however, when place a pure color material with uniform texture under the light-transmitting material, we can measure the color difference between the standard and the sample. 

In industrial production and quality control, color consistency is one of the core elements determining product quality. Whether it is the metallic paint for automobile coating, the dyeing effect of textile fabrics, or the ink matching in packaging and printing, subtle color deviations may lead to cost waste or damage to brand image.

The LAB color space defines colors with a three-dimensional model:

  1. Lightness (L): It indicates the lightness or darkness of a color, ranging from 0 (pure black) to 100 (pure white).

  2. Hue and Saturation (a and b):

    • The a-axis represents the red-green tendency, with positive values leaning towards red and negative values leaning towards green;

    • The b-axis represents the yellow-blue tendency, with positive values leaning towards yellow and negative values leaning towards blue.

It is a globally recognized standard and supported by most modern color measurement equipment. Color is quantitatively analyzed by measuring Lab values with instruments.


At most of time, we have Spectrophotometer stock in the factory. Generally it is 1-3 working days after the payment confirmed. After shipped, we will email you the tracking number. You can check the shipping status of your order on the website. If you are in urgent need, we can consider making special arrangement for you.

The gloss meter is used to measure gloss at typical angles (typically 20°, 60°, or 85°). The instrument illuminates the material and measures the amount of light reflected and states the outcome in gloss units (GU), which is related to perceived brilliance.


Compared to an analog model, digital gauges not only provide more accuracy, but also allow for greater repeatability and are easier to work with. Advanced digital gauges allow for features such as data storage and automatic calibration and statistical analysis. For these reasons, digital gauges are the preferred choice for professional applications.


A colorimeter is a quick and inexpensive method to measure color and to control color in a material or solution. It is used to maintain color consistency during production and to check the chemical concentration. It also assists with the quality control of labs, food, textiles, and pharmaceuticals.


The gloss scale is normally measured against the scale of 0 to 100 gloss units (GU). The scale is zero at matte and 100 at a mirror. Other very smooth surfaces can be over 100 GU at lower angles, such as 20°.


Follow the calibration steps form 3nh. Don’t touch the sample and drop the measurement light to eliminate external light.
