Erichsen Color and Gloss Unit SPEKTROMASTER 565-D
for simultaneous measurement of color (geometry d/8, aperture 11 mm) and gloss (geometry 60°, aperture 5 x 10 mm) in accordance with DIN, ISO and ASTM.
Purpose and Application
The overall appearance of a product is influenced by color and gloss. A sample of the same color but higher gloss level is visually perceived darker and more saturated than a low gloss sample. In order to get a uniform appearance, both attributes need to be controlled.
With the new SPEKTROMASTER you can measure any color: dark - brilliant - steep reflectance curves.
The 10 nm spectral resolution not only ensures highly precise color results, but also an excellent agreement with competitive color instruments - even bench-top units.
The Spectrometers of the very most other suppliers are only able to measure the color value.
In comparison with this, the SPEKTROMASTER 565 is able to measure color and gloss both simultaneously!
Thus, the cause of a mismatch can be clearly defined in any situation.
- Color and 60° gloss are displayed at the same time
- In compliance with international specifications
- Tolerances for color and gloss allow quick pass/fail decisions in production

Color is an area that is often overlooked in manufacturing.
Yet proper color measurement offers significant advantages to every industry — from paint and coatings, to textiles, to home furnishings.
This happens by improving the color consistency of your products. By improving the color consistency, you exceed customer expectations while reducing waste and downtime, and increase process efficiency and profitability.
Having a sound color program begins with having the right tools to deliver accurate, consistent measurement. X-Rite has those tools.
The Ci6x family of handheld spectrophotometers is a performance-driven solution for managing color at any stage of production, and gives manufacturers a whole new level of confidence in their color data, regardless of where or when the measurements are collected.

A Versatile Package for a Wide Range of Color Applications
The Ci6x Series creates opportunities to develop a consistent color monitoring program, efficiently manage process quality control, and reduce operating costs.
The many options within the product family give operations of all sizes the ability to build in a stable measurement system that delivers repeatable performance and increased product yield.
This makes the Ci6x Series a reliable solution for a wide range of industries and applications:
Commercial Coatings.
The need to meet specific color codes and regulations requires repeatable color measurement.
The Ci6x Series provides the consistency demanded to ensure batch-to-batch color conformity.
Plastics.
Batch consistency—from raw material through finished product—often varies depending on material supplier and process conditions.
The Ci6x Series can monitor the color impact of shifts in process variables, while X-Rite application software storing color data that can be shared among the supply network to ensure color accuracy.
Automotive.
Whether OEM interior, aftermarket parts, or second- and third-tier supplier components, color accuracy is an absolute must.
The Ci6x system allows manufacturers at every level to achieve consistent readings.
The ability to simultaneously measure SCI/SCE further enhances the quality control process.
Textiles.
While materials and fabrics may appear similar at first glance, those that contain optical brightening agents (OBA) may result in a much different look under varied lighting conditions.
Available calibrated UV enhanced illumination controls the UV/visible balance, enabling long-term, consistent measurement of optically bright samples.
Home Furnishings.
Different materials—wood, paint, plastic, metal, fabric—and a wide variety of colors, make repeatable color conformance critical.
The Ci6x family is able to read a wide range of materials and provide a benchmark measurement that can be used at each step of the production or assembly process.
