Measure color numerically and repeatably instead of judging by eye. As the official Konica Minolta solution partner, we provide the device, installation and software from a single source.
A spectrophotometer measures the light a surface reflects at each wavelength and expresses color as numerical values such as CIELAB (L*, a*, b*). Color is judged with repeatable data instead of by eye, and the difference between a sample and the target is calculated as ΔE.
Unlike a colorimeter, it measures the whole visible spectrum, so calculations can be made under different light sources and colors that look different under different light (metamerism) can be detected.
Argetek sells, installs, calibrates and supports Konica Minolta devices and combines the measurement data with ColorMission software.
Industrial color measurement across 360-740 nm; d:8° sphere geometry for reflectance measurement aligned with CIE, ISO, ASTM, DIN and JIS standards.
On the CM-36d, SCI + SCE measurement completes in about 3.5 seconds.
Measurement data feeds ColorMission quality control and recipe calculation; compatible with spectrophotometers of all brands.
Benchtop model. 360-740 nm, d:8° sphere geometry, LAV Ø30/25.4 mm, MAV Ø11/8 mm and SAV Ø7/4 mm measurement apertures. G/GV models add transmittance and 60° gloss options.
Portable entry-level model offering the operability of the series' top models. Suited to quick checks in the field and on the production floor.
Automotive metallic and pearl effect coatings change color with viewing angle, so they are measured with a multi-angle spectrophotometer.
The benchtop CM-36d series suits laboratory use and high repeatability; the portable CM-23d suits quick checks in the field. The devices are used in textile, paint, plastics, chemicals, paper, ceramics, automotive and architectural paint. Tell us your need and we will recommend the right model.
