Ink Light Box

The ink light booth is equipped with standard light sources that simulate lighting conditions such as daylight and store lighting. Operators place printed materials and standard samples inside the booth to compare and observe color consistency under different light sources. It is used for quality control in the printing and packaging industries to ensure that colors meet requirements in various environments.
Selection
When selecting, consider common light source types such as D65 and TL84, ensuring stable and uniform illumination. The chamber structure should be UV-resistant, with neutral gray interior walls to avoid interference. The size should accommodate common sample dimensions, and the interface should be user-friendly. Regular calibration of the light source is necessary, and products with metrological certificates should be preferred.
