Paper Surface Chroma Meter

Paper surface colorimeter measures paper color and optical properties by illuminating the paper surface and analyzing the spectral data of reflected light. It is used to detect indicators such as paper whiteness, color difference, and opacity, and is applied in paper production, quality control, and printing matching processes.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the measurement aperture to the sample size, and ensure the instrument supports paper-specific metrics such as ISO brightness. Portable models are suitable for on-site testing, while benchtop versions offer more stable repeatability. Confirm that the accompanying software can output data formats commonly used in the paper industry.
