Description
The X-Rite VS450 is a benchtop spectrophotometer that operates in a non-contact mode. It can measure a sample from a distance without being affected by ambient light. The VS450 can be used to measure wet samples, large or bulky items, or substances such as food that would require a protective barrier for conventional measurement.
Benefit
- Control day-to-day color production with a defined, standard procedure that saves time, cost, and effort.
- Establish a “wet tolerance” in order to produce a good result in a final dry-to-dry comparison.
- Compensate for the difference in appearance between wet and dry standards, when combined with Color iMatch software.
- Use this non-contact instrument to measure large or bulky items or materials such as food that may require a protective barrier when using a contact instrument that can affect measurement accuracy.
- Benefit from minimal maintenance requirements since the optical system never comes in contact with samples and thus remains uncontaminated.
