D/8°and 45°/0°are two kinds of illumination geometry with different optical geometry design. D/8°illumination geometry is more widely used for the color comparison and measurement of high-gloss materials; 45°/0°illumination geometry is mainly used in printing and packaging industries.
D/8° and 45°/0° are two different illumination methods with distinct optical geometries. The D/8° illumination is suitable for general industries, and delivers better performance in color difference comparison and color measurement especially for high-gloss products. For the packaging and printing industry, the 45°/0° illumination is recommended.
Plastic, paint, ink, ceramic, textile, coating
Samples with metallic luster, pearlescent, glitter, or texture
Situations requiring consistent data with laboratory spectrophotometers
Applications needing SCI (including specular reflection) / SCE (excluding specular reflection) switching
Printing, packaging, paper, ink, matte non-metallic materials
Products focusing on human eye direct visual matching
Standard color matching in printing & packaging industry
With metallic/pearlescent/glitter effect → choose D/8°
Printing, paper, packaging, matte products → choose 45°/0°
Want universal use for multiple materials → choose D/8°
