Benchtop spectrophotometers
Color & Jetness measurement
The color2view combines intuitive navigation, breakthrough technical performance, and multiple measurement methods - 45°c:0° color, 20°/60° gloss, and fluorescence - in one benchtop spectrophotometer with peak performance for deepest black offering a special Jetness Mode
Color and Jetness Measurement with Benchtop Spectrophotometer
Intelligent LED Technology
High-tech. Smart. Experienced
Due to the proven BYK LED technology based on stringent selection criteria and a homogenous illumination of the large measurement spot, short-term and long-term repeatability are unsurpassed in the industry.
The color2view Pro features excellent technical performance which also is assured for the very low reflectance range R < 0.1 %. Additional control and calibration steps during the production process as well as a special Jetness mode with higher light energy guarantee repeatable and reliable measurement results even for the deepest black.
The temperature behavior of electronic and optical components is controlled to guarantee temperature stability between 10 °C and 40 °C – no need for re-calibration.
All together highest accuracy and inter-instrument agreement are ensured to enable a global color management with digital standards.
Global Color Management
Digital. Cross-Family. Pioneering.
Measurement needs are different within a supply chain. A paint or plastic pellet manufacturer prefers a benchtop instrument to repeatably measure panels or granulates in the laboratory, while finished goods need to be directly controlled at the production line where portable instruments are required. To set-up a seamless global color management system the same binding standards need to be used by all involved parties.
For the first time ever in the industry, digital standards can be exchanged between benchtop and portable color instruments. Due to the excellent intra-instrument agreement between color2view and spectro2guide, the seamless use of digital standards has become reality – without any extra-profiling.
The new generations of spectro2guide and color2view open up completely new horizons.
Perfectly Formed Design
Turnable. Balanced. Compact.
Samples of different sizes and shapes can be a challenge for proper instrument positioning and can turn the workflow upside down. The new color2view even has two sample openings “top and front” to best suit your application. Turning the instrument is easy thanks to its compact and lightweight design.
Three in One
Color. Gloss. Fluorescence
The color2view uses circumferential illumination at 45° with 0° viewing angle – to measure color as you see it.
Simultaneously 20° and 60° gloss are measured to clearly differentiate medium to high gloss samples.
A new feature is the quantification of fluorescence to predict lightfastness. Colorful graphs show the degree of fluorescence and the calculated color change after fluorescence degradation is displayed with easy to understand CIELAB- and ∆E Data.
Prediction of Lightfastness
Excited. Emitted. Shifted.
The combination of a spectrophotometer with a fluorimeter opens up completely new perspectives to control color quality and guarantee color stability.
Lightfastness is analyzed with proprietary calculations predicting the color change with total color difference DE as well as individual color component deltas (∆L, ∆a, ∆b, ∆C, ∆H). The excitation and emission range of fluorescent behavior is displayed with the slider function in smart-lab.
Brilliant Color Display
Swipe. Touch. Measure.
The color2view offers a brilliant, capacitive touchscreen and an iconbased navigation to offer an intuitive, smartphone like operation. You can touch and swipe without pressure – it even works wearing gloves.
Preview with Camera
Strike. Score. Save.
An integrated camera permits a live preview of the measurement spot. This prevents false readings on imperfections or scratches and ensures precise positioning of the sample.
Storage of Standards
Always at hand. Tidy. Protected
It’s often the little things that make life a lot easier: a light switch in the right place, a cup holder in the optimal size and position... For this reason, we have given a lot of thought to easy handling and operation. The result is a storage compartment for standards. This way, the standards are always at hand and well protected.

Positioning of Samples
Soft. Invisible. Handy.
How to make sample handling easy and ensure repeatable positioning?
Our smart sample holder can be stored flat in the housing of the measuring instrument when not in use. On its way to the aperture, it can be parked at several positions so that sensitive samples can be picked up with 2 hands – without having to hold the sample holder. During the measurement, it fixes the sample in its intended place and after the work is done, it closes gently thanks to the soft-close function.
