Portable Paper Color Difference Meter

The portable paper color difference measuring instrument illuminates the paper surface with a built-in light source. The sensor receives the reflected light, analyzes the spectral data, and calculates the chromaticity value. It is used for on-site rapid detection of color consistency between paper batches and to control the color reproduction effect of printed materials.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the measurement aperture to the sample size, check the instrument's repeatability index to ensure data stability, confirm that the storage capacity meets on-site recording needs, and verify whether the accompanying software functions support industry-standard color systems.
