Handheld Color Spectrophotometer Color2go
Compact handheld color spectrophotometer with 60° gloss and fluorescence indication — in 45/0 (7635) and d/8 (7650) geometries.
Overview
color2go is a color spectrophotometer that combines color and 60° gloss in a compact, lightweight and rugged horizontal design — making QC simple and secure. Its 2.8" color touchscreen with an icon-based menu gives smartphone-like operation, even with gloves on, and a fluorescence warning flags materials that may change color under sunlight. Thanks to its high technical performance, color2go exchanges digital standards seamlessly across the spectro2 Family, including with the color2view benchtop. All BYK‑Gardner instruments supplied by K&K carry a 12-month manufacturer warranty.
