The Future of Special-Effect Color Measurement: Multi-Angle Spectrophotometers Lead the Way
A powerful and portable instrument for color measurement, management, transmission, and report printing.


Adopt 7 illumination sources, 2 receivers to measure 12 measurement angles at the same time

Touch screen can display all Angle measurement results, more intuitive view of the comprehensive data.
High - end Hardware Configuration: Dual - array image sensors; Bluetooth transmission; Concave grating for light dispersion.
Stable Measurement: 400 - 700nm blue - enhanced LED, with the standard deviation controlled within 0.08%.
Color Transfer: Measures the sample's reflection spectrum, providing accurate Lab data, applicable for color matching and color transfer.
Measurement Accuracy: Temperature monitoring and compensation. With a built - in temperature sensor, it monitors and compensates for the test environment to ensure accurate measurement results.
User-Centric Design: Its compact, lightweight design (1.2kg) also makes it ideal for both lab-based testing and on-site inspections (e.g., factory production lines, supplier audits).
Traditional colorimeters often miss subtle color shifts visible at different viewing angles, leading to inconsistent products, costly reworks, and disappointed customers. Our Multi-Angle Spectrophotometer solves this challenge by capturing color data from multiple angles, ensuring your products look perfect, no matter how they’re viewed.

FAQs About Multi-angle spectrophotometer
When evaluating the accuracy of a colorimeter, repeatability is a key parameter.
The repeatability standard deviation ΔE*ab of 3nh colorimeters is within 0.03 (measured under the following conditions: after preheating and calibration, measure the white calibration tile 30 times at 3-second intervals and take the average). This figure is superior to all other similar color measurement instruments.
Each of our instruments undergoes rigorous factory inspection and calibration before delivery. In addition, 3nh colorimeters are guaranteed to pass the metrological certification issued by official metrology institutes.
Threenh colorimters are used across various industries to measure, analyze, and control color accuracy and consistency:
Food and Beverages: Monitor color quality in food products to meet industry standards.
Plastics and Polymers: Ensure color uniformity in plastic components (e.g., casings, buttons, panels) during manufacturing.
Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals,Cosmetics: Industry-specific accessories to attain the highest safety protocols, Ensure uniform color in pharmaceutical products for quality and brand recognition;Develop and match colors for cosmetics (e.g., lipsticks, creams, powders) and ensure batch consistency.
Textiles and Apparel: Monitor color consistency in fabrics during dyeing, printing, or finishing processes; ensure color consistency in fabrics and garments.
Building materials, Paints, and Coatings: Detect color deviations in coatings on metal, wood, or plastic surfaces (e.g., automotive paints, furniture finishes). Maintain color accuracy in building materials, paints, and coatings.
Printing and Packaging: Validate color accuracy in printed materials (e.g., brochures, labels, packaging) against design proofs, maintain consistency across different printing technologies.
By addressing color-related quality control challenges, 3NH colorimeters help industries maintain brand consistency, meet regulatory standards, and enhance customer satisfaction.
The five common gloss levels are:
1. Flat/Matte (0–10 GU)
2. Eggshell (10–25 GU)
3. Satin (26–40 GU)
4. Semi-gloss (41–70 GU)
High Gloss (71–100+ GU)
These levels vary slightly depending on industry and standards used.
Color is measured using devices such as colorimeters, spectrophotometers, and spectroradiometers. Colorimeters are easier and good for simple color quality tests. Whereas spectrophotometers yield detailed spectral information. Hence, suitable for laboratories and industries.
The "accuracy" of a colorimeter refers to how closely its measurement results align with the true values, primarily influenced by systematic errors and random errors, how closely its measured color data (e.g., Lab values, density) aligns with the true color properties of a sample or certified standard. Specifically, it includes key indicators such as color coordinate accuracy, luminance accuracy, and data repeatability.
It reflects the instrument’s ability to minimize deviations caused by component variations, environmental factors, or calibration drift—ensuring results reliably represent the actual color, which is critical for quality control and brand consistency in industries like printing, food, textiles, paint and coatings.
a. If this phenomenon occurred, it means the battery power is not enough. You need to charge the battery.
b. When charge the battery, please insert the battery to the instrument, and plug in the adapter to charge the battery. After 5 minutes, the instrument can be turned on.
c. If the instrument still cannot be turned on after charging 5 minutes, you can pull out the adapter and re-plug in to check it. Or repeat this operation.
d. If the instrument still cannot be turned on after charging 5 minutes, you can turn off the colorimeter and turn on it again to check it. Or repeat this operation.
e. If you have tried all the methods above but the colorimeter still cannot be turned on, please change the battery.
