How to choose colorimeter?
1.Firstly if you want to know which kind of instrument is suitable for you, you should know your requirement on the instrument accuracy (△E). If the color difference quality control is between 0-1, spectrophotometer will be better choice. These industries are plastic, paint, etc. Some of the industries only want to check the color difference value and do not requires very high accuracy, colorimeter will be enough for them.
