Frequently Asked Questions
What is a handheld spectrophotometer used for?
A handheld spectrophotometer measures color and light properties of materials with precision. The X-Rite Ci64 is specifically designed for quality control in manufacturing and field environments, ensuring color consistency across production batches and material types.
Can the Ci64 measure textured or uneven surfaces?
Yes. The sphere spectrophotometer design with multiple aperture sizes allows accurate color measurement on uneven surfaces, textured plastics, coated papers, and other complex materials that standard devices struggle with.
Does the X-Rite Ci64 detect optical brightening agents?
The Ci64 includes an optional UV LED illumination feature specifically for detecting and measuring optical brightening agents commonly used in papers and textiles, providing comprehensive color analysis.
What is SPIN/SPEX measurement?
SPIN (Specular Included) and SPEX (Specular Excluded) are two measurement geometries. Simultaneous SPIN/SPEX measurement on the Ci64 captures both specular and diffuse reflection data in one reading, providing complete color characterization for quality control.
