2. Provide spectral reflectance curves from which the user can obtain information on the hue, saturation and shade of the sample color.
3. Support more color formats especially forwhiteness and yellowness.
4. Multiple electronic color cards are included to quickly match the nearest color card number.
5. Easy to operate, only two steps to measure the color difference.
6. LS176 spectrophotometric colorimeter can be used with mobile APP and PC software, and supports data import and export.
7. With QC function, it is easy for users to quickly evaluate color accuracy against existing standards. The ΔE value can be set, and the instrument can intelligently judge whether the color difference is passed or not according to ΔE value)

The repeatability is an important parameter for the accuracy of the colorimeter. These colorimeter standard deviation ΔE*ab is within 0.03 (Measurement condition: the average value of 30 measurements on the white board at an interval of 3s after calibration). This repeatability is very excellent among colorimeters at the same price. Each colorimeter can pass the qualified inspection before leaving the factory to ensure it conforms to the standard of China Metrology Institute.
2. Does the digital colorimeter provide a formula for color matching?
These colorimeters provide a color deviation prompt function according to the Lab value, which can provide a reference for color matching. It can only indicate blacker, whiter, redder, greener, yellower or bluer, but it cannot provide accurate color formulas. Only with the help of a spectrophotometer and professional color matching software can fully realized automated color matching.
3. D/8°and 45°/0°, which one is recommended?
D/8°and 45°/0°are two kinds of illumination geometry with different optical geometry design. D/8°illumination geometry is more widely used for the color comparison and measurement of high-gloss materials; 45°/0°illumination geometry is mainly used in printing and packaging industries.
4. Can the colorimeter measure light-transmitting materials (such as colored glass and film)?
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.
5. Can the colorimeter measure powder and liquid?
Opaque liquids and powders can be put into a cuvette for color measurement.
6.Do you offer OEM and ODM service?
Yes. We can supply OEM and make customized design for any specific application.
7. Does the instrument have a warranty?
Guarantee period is 12 months, after the warranty, we also provide life-long paid or service.
