spectro-guide 45/0 gloss

Color control with 45/0 Geometriy
The Entrance Model for Objective Color Measurement

The visual color matching is subjective and dependent on the environmental conditions.
spectro-guide is an easy-to-use measuring device to objectively measure color and gloss compared to physical standards and document the results in EXCEL.

Color measurement for basic task

Control color as you see it

The 45/0 geometry uses 45° circumferential illumination and 0° viewing perpendicular to the sample plane.
The circumferential illumination is essential to achieve repeatable measurement results on directional and structured surfaces.

The 45/0 geometry simulates the normal condition used for color evaluation. For example, when we read a glossy magazine we position it to avoid the gloss from coming into our eye. A high gloss sample with the same pigmentation is visually judged darker by the eye when compared to a matte or structured sample.
This is exactly what a 45/0 instrument measures

Differences in gloss / texture → Color differences

Applications where it is necessary to have the agreement with the visual assessment are:

Bath to bath comparison in production
Assembly of multi-component products using different materials
