The average fluctuation of △E is less than 0.07, actually more in 0.03~0.06.
Portable structure design which is more conductive to keeping the instrument stable when using.

Illumination locating is a fast, simple and convenient locating function which is the original function by 3nh.

3nh has the intellectual property of PC software. The corresponding software serial number and
password protection are configured in 3nh colorimeter.
Be able to perform color difference analysis, color difference cumulative analysis, chromaticity index, color sample database management, simulating object color, etc.

3nh is the first enterprise using high capacity Li-ion battery in colorimeter.
3nh Li-ion battery can be repeatedly charged which will save cost. Meanwhile, it can measure more than
3000 times on one charge to ensure the stability of long time measurement.

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°
