Moreover, manufacturers can easily improve their product quality and reduce rejection rate by using this product for their colour testing requirements.

Difference between TP20XE and ordinary colour measuring instruments

When any standard device is used for evaluating liquid items such as paint or ink, the evaluator puts the aperture need to be inserted in the test material.  This submersion can lead to colour contamination and it can also damage the instrument.  In order to resolve this problem, Testronix has launched a highly sophisticated large aperture testing instrument. This vertical measuring device ensures that only measuring aperture touches the testing object and the instrument remains safe & free from any stain.

What is the Importance of D65 illumination in Colour Measurement?

We cannot see colour without any light. The colour can be only seen under the light, but it may appear differently under different light sources. For example, the colour of a mango can appear more vibrant under incandescent light than in normal daylight. This difference can often result in inconsistencies while evaluating the colour of a sample with the main specimen. Due to this reason standard illumination conditions are required to ensure consistent results for each and every evaluation.

D65 is a standard light bluish coloured light source, which is widely used for colour matching applications of textiles, plastics, inks, paints, chemicals, plastic and paper. According to International Commission on Illumination, D65 is an integral part of D series illuminants that depict standard illumination or average daylight conditions during colour matching procedures.
