Repeatability dE*ab ≤ 0.03.

The dual-pathway design allows simultaneous monitoring of the sample signal and the fluctuations in light source energy, thereby reducing interference during measurements and enhancing stability. This design has improved the instrument’s repeatability index to a level of dE*ab ≤ 0.03. The technology ensures the speed, accuracy, and consistency of measurements and is protected by invention patents in both China and the United States.

  • Color Density CMYK (A,T,E,M), Metamerism Index Milm, Munsell, Opacity, Strength (Dye Strength, Coloring Power).
Includes SCI measurement mode

SCI (Specular Component Included) measurement is primarily used in situations where the focus is on the properties of the color itself rather than the glossiness of the surface to which the color is applied. For example, in certain textile products, the accuracy of the color is extremely important, whereas the surface glossiness is not a primary consideration.

37 types of evaluation light sources

There are 37 types of evaluation light sources available, including A, B, C, D50, D55, D65, and more, covering nearly all color measurement standards and light source types used in the industry.

11mm, 6mm, 3mm apertures

We offer three apertures (11mm, 6mm, 3mm) to accommodate different sample requirements. Switching the measurement aperture is straightforward—just remove one and install another with a simple twist, no screws needed. Set the large aperture (Φ11mm) to ‘M’ and the smaller apertures (Φ6mm, Φ3mm) to ‘S’.

UV - for measuring fluorescent colors

Even when assessing colors on surfaces containing fluorescent materials, the C-200 series colorimeter consistently delivers reliable and precise reflectance data.

'artificial diamond' — calibration whiteboard

The calibration whiteboard is key to ensuring instruments’ accuracy. Made from zirconium with a Mohs hardness of 9, it is as hard as diamond, scratch-resistant, and doesn’t change color with temperature or humidity shifts. This makes it more stable and durable than similar products using ceramic or plastic.

The whiteboard is installed on a calibration base. Just place the colorimeter on the base for it to automatically calibrate, ensuring it’s always ready and stable.

 
Connect your smartphone and computer

Our apps are available for both iOS and Android, allow you to create a personal color database. You can log details of various color cards, search for similar colors, and upload and share data. The package also comes with the ColorExpert color management system, which can be connected to your computer via Bluetooth or USB. It features four key functions: My Colors, Color Measurement, Color Matching System (available for purchase), and Personal Center.

Testimonials

After comparing several options, I ultimately chose the vteke colorimeter for its professionalism and accuracy. For the same price, the vteke C-210 can measure over 30 parameters and offers more than 30 light sources. It provides great value for money and is definitely worth purchasing.

Mr. Christian

To test the color fastness of different batches of washed fabrics, we found the vteke colorimeter. They provided us with a lot of professional advice and detailed technical explanations, which were extremely helpful to us!
