ColorReader CR2 Technical Features:

1.Instant and Precise Color Measurement

Repeatability less than 0.08, display accuracy 0.01, one light press can bring you precise color measurement.

ColorReader

2.Non-contact Auto Calibration

The use of professional non-contact automatic black and white board calibration technology to avoid direct transmission of dirt during the measurement process to the whiteboard, completely solves the problem of separation between the whiteboard and the dust cover required internationally, and ensures the zero position of the whiteboard "this starting line" The long-term accuracy to makes you more at ease and worry-free when using it.

Non-contact Auto Calibration

3.Multifunctional “Smart Button”

The built-in "smart button" of the instrument can independently complete the measurement function setting or test data review. It does not need to connect a mobile phone and a computer. A single machine can realize all the functions of the color difference meter; and at the same time, it can be connected to the mobile phone APP or computer software, taking into account the various functions of the color difference measurement and color management.

Multifunctional “Smart Button”

4.Professional integrating sphere dual optical path design
