Original Paper Gloss Meter

The base paper gloss meter measures the intensity of specularly reflected light by shining a light source onto the paper surface at a fixed angle. It is used to evaluate the surface light reflection performance of paper and to control the appearance quality of paper in the papermaking and printing industries.
Selection
When selecting, consider whether the measurement angle matches industry standards, check the calibration stability of the instrument, confirm that the measurement range covers the sample's gloss range, and evaluate the convenience of the operation interface and the suitability of the data output format.
