3nh TS1010 Spectrodensitometer (Standard Edition) is a premium print quality testing device specifically built for professional printing houses and packaging enterprises. Equipped with a dual-array 40-group silicon photodiode sensor, it accurately measures key indicators including optical density, dot area, dot gain, and trapping ratio, while supporting a density scanning function to comprehensively analyze print quality distribution. Delivering first-grade metrology accuracy, the TS1010 provides dependable data support across the entire production workflow. The TS1010 stands out for its 'Professional Precision and Authoritative Reliability': its planar grating spectrophotometric technology achieves a density repeatability of 0.001D, while the density scanning feature enables full-format quality analysis of printed media. Whether for in-process quality control or authoritative pre-shipment inspections, the TS1010 delivers professional, accurate, and traceable measurement data, making it an essential tool for small-to-medium printing enterprises seeking quality upgrades.


1. Comprehensive Coverage of All Printing Metrics for One-Stop Quality Control

Built-in with ISO Status T, E, A, I, and M multi-density standards, the TS1010 supports professional printing metrics including density value/difference, dot area and dot gain, trapping ratio, print contrast, hue error and grayness, printing plate inspection, and density scanning. It fulfills all-around quality control needs from pre-press adjustment to finished product sampling, providing in-depth print quality data analysis to support process optimization and quality enhancement.

Comprehensive Coverage of All Printing Metrics


2. Three Interchangeable Apertures to Handle Diverse Samples Effortlessly

Standardized with three interchangeable measurement apertures—Φ11mm, Φ6mm, and Φ3mm. The large aperture is suited for uniform surfaces like paper and fabric; the small apertures target film dots, fine color bars, or PCB color patches. Covering most professional printing measurement scenarios, it offers exceptional cost-performance and serves as a premier choice for professional inspection entry.

Three Interchangeable Apertures


3. Full-Band Spectrum Visualization to Reveal Color Essence

Featuring a wavelength range of 400–700nm sampled accurately at 10nm intervals, the device generates real-time spectral reflectance curves. The shape of these curves allows direct observation of metamerism, providing intuitive physical evidence for color formulation validation and raw material evaluation.

Full-Band Spectrum Visualization


4. Standard 45/0 Optical Structure Aligned with Human Visual Perception

Utilizing a geometric design of 45° circumferential illumination and 0° reception, the instrument perfectly matches the CIE No. 15 standard. This structure effectively suppresses specular reflection interference caused by surface texture, directional gloss, or brushed finishes, ensuring measurement data closely reflects true human color perception.

Standard 45/0 Optical Structure Aligned with Human Visual Perception


5. Four Measurement Conditions (M0–M3) Fully Compliant with International Standards

Complies with all four illumination conditions specified by ISO 13655:

M0 (Illuminant A): Suitable for traditional color evaluation.

M1 (Illuminant D50): Simulates daylight, adhering to mainstream international standards.

M2 (UV Cut): Excludes UV fluorescence interference, specifically designed for samples containing optical brighteners (OBA).

M3 (M2 + Polarizing Filter): Effectively eliminates surface glare, ideal for high-gloss prints or metallic luster materials. Note: Under M3 polarization mode, repeatability and inter-instrument agreement parameters are slightly adjusted; refer to technical specifications for details.

Yes, we offer free samples for test, you are welcome to order samples to experience our excellent quality and service.

A spectrophotometer and colorimeter are certain instruments used by scientists to measure color by quantifying reflected or transmitted light. The results are presented in color spaces, such as L*a*b*, RGB, or XYZ. This enables the accuracy of comparison and tracking of the changes in color in chemical or material research.

You can choose a colorimters depending on the substrate you are measuring the color of, whether it is opaque, translucent or transparent. In short, you can consider the following factors for choosing the right 3NH colorimeter for your needs: Sample Opacity, Physical Form, Optical Properties needed, Measurement Methods required, Scales and Indices needed, Instrument Standards Conformance (ASTM/ISO/Other), Instrument Geometry, Instrument Performance, Location (laboratory, portability, in-process) and Sample Handling requirements.

By systematically addressing these factors, you can select a colorimeter that optimizes accuracy, efficiency, and value for your specific application.Learn more from our ultimate guide on colorimeter selection. If unsure, consult the 3NH manufacturer for personalized recommendations based on your sample and workflow.


Yes, we warmly welcome and sincerely invite you or your team to visit our factory, we will help to arrange hotel and pick up you from airport.

Colorimeters is a color measurement device that are used to capture, communicate, and evaluate color. Colorimeters are more affordable, portable, and easier to use, making them a suitable choice for basic color measurement applications, ideal for quick and routine tests.

spectrophotometers offer higher precision and comprehensive data analysis, are better for research, development, and when dealing with complex or highly precise requirements. The biggest difference is in capability and usage. Spectrophotometers are incredibly powerful and can offer more in-depth color measurements than a colorimeter, such as spectral data.

Colorimeters are primarily used for color quality control, while spectrophotometers are used for analysis and formulation. You can choose the appropriate color measurement equipment according to your application needs.
