FAQs About MS3003 Multi-angle spectrophotometer

A light booth for color matching usually contains D65 (daylight), TL84 (store), A (incandescent) and UV light. LED may also be used in modern time for additional color matching. 


The gloss meter is used to measure the gloss level: it is a device that directs the light at a fixed angle and reads the intensity of the reflected light. The angles, such as 60°, 20°, or 85°, are applied depending on the type of surface and the range of gloss.


Colorimeter,Gloss meter,Coating thickness meter,window tint meter,UV meter, Leeb hardness tester, Ultrasonic thickness gauge. Threenh Technology company adheres to independent design, research and development, production and sales of various measuring instruments. 

You can choose a colorimters depending on the substrate you are measuring the color of, whether it is opaque, translucent or transparent. In short, you can consider the following factors for choosing the right 3NH colorimeter for your needs: Sample Opacity, Physical Form, Optical Properties needed, Measurement Methods required, Scales and Indices needed, Instrument Standards Conformance (ASTM/ISO/Other), Instrument Geometry, Instrument Performance, Location (laboratory, portability, in-process) and Sample Handling requirements.

By systematically addressing these factors, you can select a colorimeter that optimizes accuracy, efficiency, and value for your specific application.Learn more from our ultimate guide on colorimeter selection. If unsure, consult the 3NH manufacturer for personalized recommendations based on your sample and workflow.

Short Recommendation

  • Best press-side / print QC: YD5050

  • Top lab formulation: TS8560

  • Best portable production: TS7700

  • High-end lab R&D: YS6060

All ensure ultra-precise color, density & consistency for offset, flexo, gravure, screen-printing & packaging inks.


Coating thickness is best measured with a coating thickness gauge specific for the type of substrate. Magnetic and eddy gauges are best for metals while ultrasonic gauges are best for non-metals. These devices provide measurement accuracy and consistency.
