Features

How black is black really?
Black has been and still is one of the most popular colors. In the development of black colors, the depth is objectively evaluated with the Jetness index based on colorimetric data. spectro2guide Pro was enhanced to measure deepest blacks with highest accuracy.

 

 

  • Improved accuracy to measure Jetness of deep black colors
  • Color, gloss and new fluorescence measurement in one
  • Exchange of digital standards due to excellent inter-instrument agreement
  • Balanced and upfront design with large color touchscreen
  • Smart docking station with intelligent auto diagnosis to tell you when to calibrate
  • Live preview of the measurement spot with integrated camera
  • Smart high-tech LED illumination for excellent short-term, long-term and temperature stability
  • 10 year warranty on LED light source - no lamp change needed
  • Professional data analysis with smart-chart combined with WiFi or USB data transfer

Knowledge

The basic building blocks of color measurement

Visual color perception is influenced by our individual color preferences, which are dependent on personal factors (mood, age, gender etc.), environment (lighting, surrounding etc.) as well as our ability to communicate color and color differences. A color looks different in the department store (cool white fluorescent lighting) than at home (warm, incandescent lighting). In order to guarantee consistent color and appearance under all possible circumstances, it is essential to standardize light source, observer and understand the spectral remission data of the object. This information will be the basis for calculation of colorimetric data as it is used for color communication and color QC in production.

Color measurement of BLACK

Already in the Stone Age, black based on charcoal was used as one of the first colors ever. The measurement and qualification of black has been a challenge since then, as it reflects hardly any light. On the one hand, special indices are needed because evaluation using L*a*b* values is only suitable to a very limited extent. On the other hand, the selection of appropriate measuring instruments with outstanding technical performance also plays an essential role. The following technical article describes how to raise quality control of deep and deepest black colors to a new level of precision and reliability.
