FAQs About  Spectrodensitometer

Color evaluation will change based on how a sample is viewed.  A 45° viewing angle to the source is recommended to reduce shading and achieve consistent comparison.

Yes. Ultrasonic coating thickness gauges can pinpoint layers within a multi-coat system. Users can examine the separate thicknesses of a primer, base coat, and clear coat. In contrast, magnetic and eddy current gauges usually measure the overall thickness of the coating. 

Our professional team will give you the best suggestion as long as you tell us what kind of test you need to do and the required specification.


The ΔE (Delta E) formula of the CIELAB color space is usually used to measure color difference. The difference is measured in a colorimeter or spectrophotometer to gauge the level of perceptibility of the difference between two samples in terms of L*a*b*.


A benchtop spectrophotometer is not universally better—it outperforms portable units in precision and lab testing, while portable models win for on-site flexibility. Which one is better depends entirely on your testing scenarios, accuracy requirements and workflow.


Benchtop Spectrophotometer Advantages

  • Higher measurement accuracy & repeatability, excellent inter-instrument agreement

  • Supports full-spectrum analysis, more geometric optical designs

  • Larger testing aperture, compatible with curved, textured and bulk samples

  • Ideal for laboratory QC, R&D, formula matching and standard color calibration

  • Stable performance, less affected by external light and environment


Portable Spectrophotometer Advantages

  • Compact, lightweight, test anywhere anytime (production line, warehouse, on-site inspection)

  • Fast one-click measurement, no fixed power and lab space required

  • Perfect for incoming material inspection, on-line production spot check, field color comparison

  • Lower cost and easier to operate for frontline workers


Which One Should You Choose?


Choose benchtop if you need:

Lab R&D, high-precision color grading, standard sample database establishment, strict quality control for cosmetics, plastics, textiles and food.


Choose portable if you need:

On-site rapid detection, production line mobile sampling, outdoor and on-location color measurement.


Colorimeter vs Spectrophotometer for Textile QC 

For textile quality control, a spectrophotometer is always the better choice instead of a basic colorimeter.

Key Reasons

  1. Spectrophotometer captures full spectral data, handles dyed fabric, printed textiles, yarn, woven and knitted materials with complex color and texture.

  2. Supports SCI/SCE, metamerism test, fastness comparison and batch color consistency inspection.

  3. Higher accuracy and better inter-instrument agreement, perfect for factory mass production and customer color approval.

  4. Basic colorimeters only show simple color difference data, easily affected by fabric texture, rough surface and lighting, with poor stability for textiles.

3nh Recommended Models

  • TS7700 / TS8560: High-precision, ideal for textile lab QC, color matching and raw material incoming inspection.

  • NR60CP / NS800: Cost-effective option for daily production line routine color checking.
