The OEM-Solution: Cloud Storage

Components (Automotive parts) are usually bought from all over the world from different suppliers. The parts are placed directly next to each other and the colour must match 100%. Problems with the colour are detected late in process and that causes ti…

60° Gloss Measurement according to DIN EN ISO 2813 (old DIN 67530)

Why measuring gloss? The effect from gloss is much important for the visual colorimetry. The same black sample appears lighter with a matt finish than a glossy finish. So measuring the colour alone is often not enough. ColorLite offers the spectrophoto…
