Base Paper Glossiness Meter

The base paper gloss meter quantifies gloss by measuring the specular reflectance of the paper surface to a standard light source. Using a light source at a 60° or 75° angle of incidence to illuminate the sample, a photodetector receives the intensity of the reflected light and converts it into gloss units. This instrument is used in the printing and packaging industry to detect the surface gloss uniformity of materials such as coated paper and cardboard, assisting in controlling the quality of the coating process.
Selection
When selecting, consider that the measurement angle should match industry standards, with 60° suitable for ordinary glossy paper and 75° for low-gloss materials. Pay attention to the instrument's measurement range covering 0-200 GU, with a repeatability error of less than 0.5 GU. It is necessary to include a standard calibration plate for daily verification, and prioritize equipment that complies with ISO 2813 and ASTM D523 standards. The operating interface should be simple, and the probe should be suitable for the flat characteristics of paper.

The use of a gloss meter in evaluating the surface gloss of printing paper and art paper.
Gloss meters quantify paper gloss by measuring surface reflected light, with 20°, 60°, and 85° angles commonly used for high, medium, and low gloss surfaces, respectively. The gloss characteristics of printing paper and art paper differ, so the appropriate measurement angle should be selected based on the estimated gloss level.
Determination of specular gloss: Selection criteria for instruments at different angles (20°/60°/85°)
Specular gloss is a measure of a material's ability to reflect light, calculated by comparing the reflected luminous flux of a sample with that of a standard plate. Three angles—20°, 60°, and 85°—are commonly used for measurement, corresponding to high-gloss, medium-gloss, and low-gloss surfaces, respectively.
