1 Years Warranty (Additional support period of 3 years)

The SFRplus test chart can be used with the SFRplus module in Imatest 3.2 or later to measure MTF, lateral chromatic aberration, distortion, tonal response, and color accuracy. The SFRplus module features fully automated region-of-interest detection. The SFRplus chart offers significant advantages over commonly used charts such as the ISO 12233 chart, including 1) much less wasted area, 2) the ability to produce a map of sharpness over the sensor surface, 3) better measurement accuracy due to the lower contrast, and 4) full support for automated testing.

This chart is recommended for most standard testing setups and devices. Choose a size based on your sensor and setup limitations.


Options include:

  • Grid: 5x9 grids are recommended for for typical DSLR formats with aspect ratios of 3:2
  • Paper Size and Active Area Options

    This chart is available in three sizes. It is recommended that the medium sized charts be used to test imaging systems with sensors up to 12 MP, the large charts be used for testing of sensors up to approximately 24 MP, and the extra-large charts be used for sensor sizes above 24 MP.

    Active Area

    The active area of the chart includes white space above and below the top and bottom distortion bars. It is slightly larger than the printed area, which is bounded by the distortion bars on top and bottom. White space is included in active area because test images of the chart must include this white space in order to enable automated processing in SFRplus software.

  • Paper/ink type: Matte paper/ink can be used to reduce reflected light and allow for easier lighting setups
  • Contrast levels: 4:1 contrast ratio for new ISO standard compliance
  • Color chart: a 20 patch color chart.

FAQs About  SFRPlus Test Charts

The gloss of the paint is defined by the measurement of light reflection at the surface of the paint with the help of a gloss meter. The angle and quantity of light reflected determine the level of gloss, with smoother and reflective surfaces having a higher level of gloss.


The main instruments used to detect color are spectrophotometers and colorimeters (including photoelectric integrating colorimeters). 

Spectrophotometer: High-precision option. It analyzes the full visible light spectrum to measure color accurately. Suitable for complex scenarios like textured surfaces, special effect colors, or batch consistency checks in industries such as paint and coatings. 

Colorimeter (Photoelectric Integrating Colorimeter): Cost-effective and portable. It uses RGB filters to measure tristimulus values directly. Ideal for quick color difference detection in simple applications. Key Selection Tip Choose based on accuracy needs: use a spectrophotometer for high-precision color measurement, and a colorimeter for fast, basic color difference checks.


Yes, we can offer quality certification issued by our lab free of charge, or issued by third-party international inspection Organizations with extra charge, please contact us for confirmation.

Measurement Accuracy (dE/ΔE): The smaller the value, the higher the match between the color measured by the colorimeter instrument and human visual perception. Generally, dE < 1.0 is regarded as the industrial passing line, while dE < 0.5 falls into the high-precision level. 

Measurement Structure: D/8 (integrating sphere structure) is the universal standard, which includes two modes: SCI (Specular Component Included, with specular reflection light) and SCE (Specular Component Excluded, excluding specular reflection light). 45/0 (ring illumination) simulates the human eye's viewing angle and is more suitable for judging reflective materials. 

Repeatability: It refers to the difference in color results when measuring the same point multiple times. The equipment can achieve ΔE < 0.08, ensuring highly reliable measurement results. 

Illumination Source and Viewing Angle: It is recommended to choose the combination of CIE standard light source D65 (simulating daylight) and a 10° viewing angle. 

Application Scenario Requirements: It is necessary to clarify the purchase purpose (quality inspection? R&D? material evaluation?) and the usage environment (laboratory, workshop or field work?).


An 80 gloss surface will reflect less light as compared to a 100 gloss surface. Both are said to be high gloss, although 100 GU (or higher) reflects almost as much as a mirror. The distinction can be slight in graphic terms, but major in specific uses.


The various colors can be measured by the way a surface reflects, absorbs, or transmits light at different wavelengths. These responses may be measured using instruments such as colorimeters or spectrophotometers to give numeric values in a standardized color space such as L *a*b*.
