Technical guides
Measurement Geometry
Measuring Directional Fabrics
Measure directional fabrics by fixing warp, weft, nap or brushing orientation and deciding whether one viewing direction or a validated rotational average represents use.

Measuring Opacity in Paper and Packaging
Measure opacity using defined black and white or paper-backing reflectance procedures, controlled orientation and representative sampling for paper, board, labels and flexible packaging.
Technical guide · Read the guide →UV Measurement
Measuring Paper Whiteness
Measure paper whiteness with the correct metric, UV condition, backing or stack, orientation and conditioning so supplier and production results are comparable.

How to Measure Printed Color
Measure printed color with a defined target, ISO 13655 measurement condition, controlled backing and representative sampling plan from press sheet to finished product.
Technical guide · Read the guide →Delta E
Measuring Spot Colors
Measure spot colors with spectral targets, controlled ink film and substrate conditions, and tolerances that preserve hue and chroma as well as total color difference.
Technical guide · Read the guide →Aperture Size
Measuring Packaging Color
Measure packaging color across paperboard, corrugated board, labels, flexible film, rigid plastics and metal with construction-specific backing and sampling controls.

How to Measure Paint Color
Measure paint color with a controlled drawdown or coated panel, fixed instrument settings and an approved standard so the result represents the production decision.

How to Measure Powder-Coated Metal
Measure powder-coated metal with controlled substrate, film build, cure, gloss, texture, orientation and sampling so color data represents the finished coating.

Wet Paint vs Dry Paint Color Measurement
Wet paint readings support rapid batch adjustment, while dry-film readings represent the applied product; the two need separate standards and a validated correlation.

Measuring Glossy Coatings
Measure glossy coating color with controlled handling, orientation and specular condition, while treating gloss, haze and image clarity as separate appearance properties.
Technical guide · Read the guide →Aperture Size
Measuring Textured Coatings
Measure textured coating color with an aperture and sampling plan large enough to represent peaks, valleys and directional structure without hiding local variation.

Color QC for Batch-to-Batch Coating Consistency
Control coating batches with protected standards, repeatable specimen preparation, trend limits and a documented response plan before color drift reaches the customer.
