FAQs About  Main Instruments

For premier ink quality control (CMYK, spot colors, printing density, formulation & press-side QC), these 3nh spectrophotometers / spectrodensitometers stand above the rest:


1. YD5050 / YD5010 (Best for Printing & Ink Press QC)

  • 45/0 ring illumination, ISO 5-4 / ISO 13655 (M0/M1/M2/M3)

  • Measures density (Status T/E/A/I), dot gain, trap, print contrast

  • ΔE*ab ≤ 0.03, density ≤ 0.01D

  • Small apertures (Φ2/4/8mm) for fine print & ink dots

  • Ideal: packaging, label, gravure, flexo, CMYK/spot color control

A colorimeter is sufficient when measuring similar materials or batches with stable conditions. Suitable for fast, low-cost color checks where high precision is not required. Quick quality control in plastics, paint batch consistency, food color grading (e.g., fruit ripeness), and basic printing checks.

A spectrophotometer is recommended when you need professional, maximum color accuracy or when testing materials with variable surfaces – such as glossy or textured samples. Like textile dye formulation, cosmetic shade matching, medical device color calibration, high-end printing (e.g., packaging for luxury goods), and material spectral research. learn more Understanding Spectrophotometric Parameter Measurement


The accuracy of colors is determined by comparing the values of the colors (L*a*b*) of a sample with a standard reference sample using tools such as spectrophotometers. The variation is measured as ΔE. The smaller the value of ΔE, the more accurate, the nearer to the target color.


Take into account the measurement range, type of samples, needed precision, any relevant standards, and your industry.


A spectrophotometer measures the full visible color spectrum (typically 400–700 nm). It offers significantly higher precision and enables detailed evaluations – including spectral curves, ΔE values, and color distance measurements. It is the preferred choice for demanding applications in labs or color development environments. learn more..

The core difference between a colorimeter and a spectrophotometer lies in their light measurement methods. A colorimeter measures color values based on the tristimulus method (e.g. LAB or RGB) and compares the sample to a reference. It's ideal for quick, repeatable measurements under consistent conditions – such as in production or incoming goods control.
