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.

FAQs About TS1010  Spectrodensitometer

During color evaluation, maintaining consistent light sources and viewing conditions is critical. Standard viewing conditions vary depending on the object being evaluated, including factors such as brightness, illumination angle, and observer position. Accurate evaluation can be achieved by establishing a proper environment that meets these requirements.

In development and production sites with extremely high color requirements, such as the automotive and cosmetics industries, accurately reproducing colors is essential. Color evaluation helps determine whether the color matches the intended image or target color. It is the process of measuring color, analyzing its characteristics, and evaluating how well it aligns with a specific target color. 

color measurement and color evaluation

Visual Color Evaluation

Color differences are compared visually using standard light sources or reference colors (such as color cards). This method allows color confirmation under conditions close to natural light, making it ideal for color inspection in design and production processes. 

Instrumental Color Evaluation

Measurements are performed using a spectrophotometer or colorimeter. This method eliminates the subjective influence of the operator and is widely used for product quality control and industrial applications, enabling scientific quantification of color.


Color evaluation is widely used across industries such as product development and quality control departments in manufacturing. 

Typical applications include: 

  • Automotive Industry

    Used for quality evaluation of automotive paint, exterior parts, and interior components.

  • Coatings & Materials Industry

    Used to maintain and manage color accuracy for coatings, plastics, glass products, and more.

  • Cosmetics Industry

    Used to verify color consistency in products such as lipsticks and foundations.

  • Molded Products (Resin & Plastics)

    Used to evaluate color difference and uniformity of surface effects in finished products.

  • Furniture & Building Materials Industry

    Used to ensure color consistency in materials such as wood and plywood. Food & Pharmaceutical Industry Used to assess color consistency of food packaging and color differences in pharmaceutical capsules.

Ambient light, heat, and moisture levels should be regulated. The use of colored walls and reflective surfaces should be avoided, as they can damage the assessment of the sample colors visually.


Color measurement methods involve visual approximation (against color charts), colorimetry (by means of filters and detectors), spectrophotometry (a more detailed spectral analysis), and image analysis by computer. These are color measurement methods that are applied in the laboratory, production, and quality assessment.

Colors look different under various lights mainly because of metamerism—a phenomenon where two colors that match under one light source fail to match under another, caused by differences in the spectral composition of light.

object_Colors_look_different_under_various_lights1

Different lighting varies the color perception of objects. Warm light, like that from incandescent bulbs, tends to make colors more yellow, while daylight presents a bluish tint. Our color vision system plays a compensating role using a mechanism called color constancy.

Every light source emits light with a unique "spectral fingerprint" (i.e., the range and intensity of wavelengths it contains). This directly affects how an object’s surface reflects light and how our eyes perceive its color.

Colorimetry is a method that applies color intensity to ascertain the chemical concentrations. It is founded on Beer-Lambert Law, whereby the absorbance at a given wavelength is proportional to the concentration. It is popular in environmental and biochemical testing.

Set the 3nh booth in a tidy, stable position with neutral, clean surroundings, adequate airflow, and a reliable power source, and position it away from direct sunlight or mirrors.
