Textile Color Difference Measuring Instrument

A textile color difference measuring instrument captures the reflected light from the fabric surface using a photoelectric sensor and converts the color into digital chromaticity values. It is used to quantify color differences in fabrics, control the consistency of printing and dyeing batches, and provide an objective comparison basis in fabric quality inspection and color matching processes.
Selection
When selecting, pay attention to matching the measurement aperture to the sample size, consider including a specular reflection mode for glossy fabrics, verify inter-instrument consistency indicators, confirm that the supporting software can output industry-standard color difference formulas, and ensure compatibility with the lighting conditions of the production environment.
