Handheld Color Spectrophotometer Spectro2guide
Handheld color spectrophotometer with 60° gloss and fluorescence — in 45/0 (7075) and d/8 (7070) geometries.
Overview
spectro2guide combines a color spectrophotometer and a fluorimeter in one handheld device: for the first time, color and 60° gloss are measured simultaneously, light fastness can be predicted, and both fluorescent and non-fluorescent samples are measured effectively. It comes in two geometries — 45/0 (7075) for true-to-eye color control and d/8 (7070) for tight-tolerance hue control — with the high technical performance needed to deploy digital standards across the supply chain. All BYK‑Gardner instruments supplied by K&K carry a 12-month manufacturer warranty.
