Touch the colour with the new color2view
The revolution in colour measurement continues
BYK-Gardner - worldwide partner of the automotive , paint and plastic industries for quality control of colour , appearance and physical properties - is introducing a new Benchtop spectrophotometer , the color2view , which represents a revolution in colour measurement in every respect .
By combining several different measurement methods , the color2view becomes an objective eye that evaluates our visual colour impression in its entity .
The color2view uses a circumferential illumination at 45 ° with 0 ° viewing to measure colour as you see it . The circumferential illumination from 10 directions ensures repeatable measurement results on textured surfaces . Simultaneously with colour , 20 ° and 60 ° gloss are measured to clearly differentiate medium gloss and high gloss samples . In addition , the color2view has a fluorimeter integrated to predict lightfastness by quantifying fluorescence – the calculated colour change after fluorescence degradation is displayed with easy-to-understand CIELAB- and DE data . The combination of a spectrophotometer and a fluorimeter opens completely new perspectives for controlling colour quality and guaranteeing long-term colour stability . The color2view Pro version offers a Jetness Mode which is specially designed to measure deep and deepest black with highest accuracy . It features excellent technical performance which also is assured for the very low reflectance range R < 0.1 %.
Easy to operate , intuitive navigation and new functionalities with the “ special touch ” create an unprecedented User Experience :
