The DS-173 utilizes the internationally standard D/8 SCI
measurement geometry. It is
suitable for regular color measurement and color difference quality
control across
materials such as plastics, coatings, inks, printing, textiles,
leather, ceramics, stone,
and paper.
The instrument is equipped with a full-band balanced LED light
source along with a UV
light source that can be independently turned on or off. For
regular samples, it can
measure metrics such as color, color difference, whiteness,
yellowness, blackness, color
density, and opacity. For samples containing fluorescent whitening
agents or fluorescent
pigments, users can further analyze the impact of fluorescent
components on color by
comparing data gathered when the UV light source is turned on
versus off.
Combined with a Φ11mm aperture, various standard illuminants,
2°/10° standard
observers, standalone color matching capabilities, and dedicated
software, the device
seamlessly handles everything from rapid on-site quality inspection
to professional
color data management.
Six Core Selling Points
1.Professional Spectral Measurement
D/8 SCI geometry outputs spectral reflectance and multidimensional
color data, allowing for rapid
color measurement, color comparison, and color difference
determination.
2.Switchable UV Source (On/Off)
Measures both regular and fluorescent materials, enabling
comparative analysis of fluorescence
impacts on color, whiteness, and yellowness.
3.Φ11mm Large Aperture
Captures color information over a larger surface area in a single
scan, reducing interference caused
by grain, texture, and localized color irregularities.
4.Multi-Illuminant + Dual Field of View
Supports D50, D65, A, and F series illuminants, multiple LED light
sources, as well as 2°/10°
standard observers.
5.Comprehensive Professional Metrics
Supports Lab, LCh, XYZ, and various color difference formulas,
alongside indexes like whiteness,
yellowness, blackness, color density, and opacity.
6.Standalone Color Matching & Software Management
Features standalone color matching, custom color card libraries,
and a storage capacity of up to
10,000 records. Connects smoothly to Windows software.
Applications Widely utilized for color quality control across multiple
industries
