FAQs About NR110 Colorimeter
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.
High Measurement Accuracy and Stability: Low ΔE fluctuation (e.g., NH300: ΔE < 0.07; NR10QC: ΔE ≤ 0.03 short-term repeatability); Reliable sensors (CMOS dual-beam/silicon photodiode) and long-lasting light sources (1.6M–3M measurements over 5 years).
User-friendly Design and Convenient Operation: Intuitive interfaces (e.g., NH300’s “fool-proof” operation), auto-calibration, and ergonomic grips for extended use; Versatile positioning (light/cross alignment) for precise measurements.
Robust Design: Our colorimter instruments are designed to withstand rigorous use, providing long-term reliability. Rechargeable lithium batteries enable 5,000–6,000 measurements per charge (e.g., NH300/TS7030), ensuring cost-effective durability.
PC Software Support for Functionality Expansion: PC software (e.g., CQCS3) supports color difference analysis, chromaticity indexing, and sample library management.
Global customer support: Our global presence across regions ensures you get the service and maintenance support you need to keep your instrument at peak performance.
Multiple Measurement Apertures and Application Scenarios: Multiple measurement apertures, different models have different measurement apertures and some models offer multiple optional apertures. Applicable to plastic electronics, paint and ink, textile and garment printing and dyeing, printing, ceramics, automotive, food, medicine and other industries for color quality control and color difference detection.
Because color perception depends on the following factors:
Light source - For example, incandescent lamps emit orange light, while fluorescent lamps emit cool white light. Therefore, placing an object near different light sources will result in different perceived colors.
Observed object - Different types of objects affect color perception differently. Examples include opaque objects, translucent objects, and transparent objects.
Observer's position - Each observer will describe colors differently based on the position of their eyes.
Different backgrounds - An object's color will appear duller against a light-colored background than against a dark-colored background. Different directions of light reflection from the object - Light reflected from different directions creates different color perceptions. This is particularly noticeable with metallic objects.
Different directions of light reflection from the object - Light reflected from different directions creates different color perceptions. This is particularly noticeable with metallic objects.
The photoelectric integral color‑measuring instrument is what we commonly refer to as a photoelectric colorimeter. It obtains color tristimulus values through one‑shot integral measurement, featuring fast measurement speed and low cost, yet its absolute accuracy is inferior to that of a spectrophotometer. It works well for quick color‑difference comparison. For sophisticated color analysis or color formulation, a spectrophotometer is recommended instead.
At its core, this type of instrument simulates human color vision. Filters work together with detectors to convert optical signals into electrical signals and then calculate numerical values.
Light strikes the sample, and reflected light enters the instrument.
Filters split the light into three channels: red, green and blue, corresponding to three photodetectors respectively.
Detectors measure the light intensity of each channel. The instrument directly computes tristimulus values X, Y, Z as well as chromaticity coordinates.
The matching performance of optical filters is critical. Better compliance with the Luther condition delivers higher measurement accuracy.
Both instruments measure color, yet they serve quite different application scenarios.
Photoelectric colorimeter: Simple structure, compact size and easy operation with fast measurement speed. It can only test color difference instead of spectrum, and its absolute accuracy is limited, with chromaticity‑coordinate error around ±0.03.
Spectrophotometer: Light is dispersed and measured wavelength‑by‑wavelength. It provides high accuracy (chromaticity‑coordinate error up to ±0.001‑±0.003) and can acquire spectral reflectance curves. However, it comes with higher cost, complicated structure and relatively slower measurement speed.
Photoelectric colorimeters are preferred for routine production inspection, quick comparison and cost‑sensitive projects.
Textile printing & dyeing: Rapid color matching and color‑difference comparison
Plastics, coatings and printing: Spot‑checking color consistency on production lines
Field‑testing scenarios: Handheld models support on‑site measurement
Budget‑limited projects: Photoelectric colorimeters are cost‑effective with sufficient practical functions
Spectrophotometer captures full spectral data, handles dyed fabric, printed textiles, yarn, woven and knitted materials with complex color and texture.
Supports SCI/SCE, metamerism test, fastness comparison and batch color consistency inspection.
Higher accuracy and better inter-instrument agreement, perfect for factory mass production and customer color approval.
Basic colorimeters only show simple color difference data, easily affected by fabric texture, rough surface and lighting, with poor stability for textiles.
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.
