Color Measurement
for Specific Applications
Color Control of Small Parts
Keyboards, pens and window handles require a color instrument
with a very small aperture and a repeatable sample placement.
color-guide 45/0, 4 mm aperture together with the optional sample
holder guarantee repeatable results and a convenient sample
placement.
■ Minimum sample size: 5 x 5 mm (0.2 x 0.2 in)The spectro-guide and color-guide spectrophotometers come
complete with white and black calibration standards, as well as
a green reference standard. The green reference should be used
periodically to audit instrument perfomance and the condition of
the calibration tiles.
As the spectro-guide also performs a gloss reading, it is additionally
recommended to periodically use a medium gloss checking
standard to control the gloss readings.
