Textile color measuring instrument

The textile colorimeter quantifies color data by illuminating the fabric surface and analyzing the reflected spectrum. It is used for color matching, formula management, and quality control in textile production to ensure color consistency between batches.
Selection
When selecting, focus on matching the measurement aperture to the sample size, consider including a UV light source for fluorescent fabrics, check the inter-instrument agreement index to ensure consistency across multiple devices, and confirm that the software supports industry-standard color difference formulas.
