Cardboard Glossiness Tester

The paper gloss meter evaluates gloss by measuring the ability of the paper surface to reflect light. The instrument projects a light beam at a fixed angle and receives the reflected light, converting the optical signal into a numerical value. It is used for quality control of printed products and detection of paper surface treatment effects, as well as for checking coating uniformity in the production of packaging materials and publications.
Selection
When selecting, consider the measurement angle to align with industry standards: 20° is suitable for high-gloss cardstock, while 60° is appropriate for standard gloss. The instrument should include calibration capabilities to ensure data reliability. The measurement aperture size must accommodate the sample area, with portable options being ideal for on-site inspections, while benchtop models offer more stable repeatability. Verify whether the instrument complies with standard methods such as ASTM D1223.
