FAQs About MS3003 Multi-angle spectrophotometer

Light booths and color matching are essential for the textiles, printing, automotive, plastics, cosmetics, and coatings industries. These fields rely on tight color alignment to protect brand value and meet global quality demands for color. 


The machine used to measure color is primarily called a colorimeter or spectrophotometer. 

Spectrophotometer: The most common and precise type. It analyzes light reflected/transmitted by an object across the visible spectrum to quantify color accurately. A spectrophotometer can measure colors on smooth or matte surfaces, as well as textured, glossy, mirror-like surfaces, and special effect colors. It measures the reflected light of a sample at a fixed angle (e.g., 45˚) or captures light reflected at all angles to calculate color measurements that closely match what the human eye perceives. Additionally, similar to how humans flip a sample to view colors from different angles, a spectrophotometer is suitable for measuring a variety of materials and surface characteristics. Widely used in industries like paint, textiles, plastics, Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, and printing. 

Colorimeter: Also called photoelectric integrating colorimeter, a simpler, more cost-effective option. It measures color based on three primary colors (RGB) and is suitable for basic color matching needs. A photoelectric integrating colorimeter is a color measurement device based on the photoelectric integration principle. It directly measures the tristimulus values XYZ of an object's color using three color filters (red, green, blue) and silicon photocells as three sensors. The color measurement principle of this instrument imitates the human eye's mechanism of perceiving the three primary colors (red, green, blue). It corrects the relative spectral sensitivity of the detector through color filters to match the CIE-recommended spectral tristimulus value functions x(λ), y(λ), and z(λ).

Spectrocolorimeter: Combines the functions of spectrophotometers and colorimeters, offering both spectral data and color space values for comprehensive analysis.

When evaluating the accuracy of a colorimeter, repeatability is a key parameter. 

The repeatability standard deviation ΔE*ab of 3nh colorimeters is within 0.03 (measured under the following conditions: after preheating and calibration, measure the white calibration tile 30 times at 3-second intervals and take the average). This figure is superior to all other similar color measurement instruments. 

Each of our instruments undergoes rigorous factory inspection and calibration before delivery. In addition, 3nh colorimeters are guaranteed to pass the metrological certification issued by official metrology institutes.

A colorimeter sends light through a solution and measures the amount that is absorbed. It computes the absorbance by comparing the intensity of light before and after passing through. The greater the concentration of the color, the greater is the absorption of the light. It is also possible to quantify the color of the solution.


To operate the haze meter, first calibrate the instrument, clean the sample, position it correctly in the holder, and initiate the measurement. The instrument then shows the haze and overall transmittance readings.

 The five common gloss levels are:

1. Flat/Matte (0–10 GU)

2. Eggshell (10–25 GU)

3. Satin (26–40 GU)

4. Semi-gloss (41–70 GU)

High Gloss (71–100+ GU)
These levels vary slightly depending on industry and standards used.
