In the production chains of industries such as plastics, coatings, textiles, and printing, the consistency of color and gloss has always been the core challenge of quality control — traditional measurement requires two instruments and two separate operations, resulting in low efficiency; data deviation across multiple production lines makes global color consistency difficult to achieve; inaccurate measurement of special materials and high replacement costs due to short equipment lifespan add to the burden. All these pain points will be addressed by the DS-87CG Series 45/0 Spectrophotometer. As an innovative device that integrates “color + gloss” dual measurement, it provides enterprises with a full-link color management solution from the laboratory to the production line, and from domestic operations to global delivery, through six core advantages.
1. One Measurement Unlocks Dual Data of “Color + Gloss”
The visual perception of product texture has always been a synergy of color and gloss. In traditional solutions, inspectors need to use a colorimeter first, then switch to a gloss meter — time-consuming and prone to data mismatch caused by position deviation.
DS-87CG innovatively integrates high-precision color difference measurement with 60° gloss analysis into a single device. With just one click, its 3.5-inch full-color screen instantly displays color parameters such as Lab and LCh, along with GU gloss data. Whether testing the surface texture of plastic parts or the color saturation of printed materials, there is no need to switch devices — quality control efficiency is instantly doubled, providing a complete and intuitive presentation of both “color” and “gloss.”
2. Extreme Inter-Instrument Consistency Ensures Global Color Uniformity
For enterprises with multiple production lines or cross-regional supply chains, “same standard, different data” can be a fatal flaw — color differences between laboratory formulations and workshop production, inconsistent test results between headquarters and branches, or customer rejection due to equipment discrepancies.
DS-87CG, through advanced manufacturing processes and per-unit calibration, strictly controls inter-instrument color deviation within ΔEab ≤ 0.2 (superior to DS-86C/86CG’s ΔEab ≤ 0.25). From R&D formulation to mass production and global customer acceptance, color standards remain perfectly consistent. It completely eliminates “global supply chain color communication barriers,” ensuring product quality withstands scrutiny in every context.
3. Ten-Million-Measurement Lifespan — A Device That’s a Long-Term Investment
The core light source is the “heart” of a spectrophotometer; its lifespan directly determines operational cost and stability. Typical devices on the market have lifespans of only hundreds of thousands of measurements, leading to frequent replacements, rising costs, and potential data drift due to light source decay.
DS-87CG adopts a full-spectrum balanced LED light source, ensuring both stability and accuracy while achieving an unprecedented 10 million measurement lifespan (equivalent to 10 years of stable use). Assuming 100 daily measurements, one device can operate continuously for 27 years, drastically reducing replacement frequency and ownership cost. Choosing DS-87CG isn’t just buying an instrument — it’s a long-term investment in quality control excellence.
4. 360–740nm Full-Spectrum Analysis — No Color Detail Left Behind
Conventional spectrophotometers, limited by wavelength range, often struggle with materials containing fluorescent or whitening agents (such as textiles, skincare products, or fluorescent plastics), resulting in “metamerism” — colors that appear identical to the eye but differ in data.
DS-87CG covers the complete visible spectrum from 360–740 nm and includes independent UV light source control. It can accurately capture true color across both standard and special materials. For instance, when testing paper with optical brighteners, its UV light source restores true fluorescent color values, preventing misjudgments such as “visually qualified, data unqualified,” ensuring each measurement reflects true visual perception.
5. Superior Sample Adaptability — One Device for All Industries
Different industries feature vastly different sample forms: plastics (solid), coatings (liquid), food (powder), cosmetics (paste). Traditional instruments often require multiple attachments or even multiple devices to accommodate this variety.
DS-87CG, with an optimized optical structure and extensive accessory support, easily handles all forms of samples — solids (plastic sheets, metal parts), liquids (coatings, inks), powders (flour, pigment powder), and pastes (creams, ointments).
From flour whiteness testing in the food industry to color control of ointments in pharmaceuticals and color fastness analysis in textiles, a single DS-87CG achieves true “one device, multi-application,” saving enterprises equipment and storage costs.
6. International-Level Precision — Import Quality at a Domestic Price
Enterprises have long faced a dilemma: domestic instruments are affordable but lack precision, while imported instruments are accurate but prohibitively expensive. DS-87CG breaks this trade-off. Through rigorous benchmark testing, it achieves industry-leading metrics: measurement repeatability of ΔE*ab ≤ 0.02, supports over ten color indices including CIE-Lab and CIE-Luv, complies with international standards such as CIE No.15 and ISO7724-1, and ensures first-class metrology certification.
Without paying an “import premium,” enterprises gain equivalent precision and stability. DS-87CG shatters the bias that “domestic = low precision,” enabling even small and medium-sized enterprises to upgrade quality control at optimal cost.
