Color Reader CR-10 Plus

Product Code: CR-10 Plus

The Color Reader CR-10 PLUS is an affordable handheld colorimeter for quick and easy colour control on almost any samples and materials. Just measure the target followed by the sample to compare the colour difference in objective CIELAB colour difference values displayed on the LCD screen. 

Despite the simple operation, the CR-10 PLUS is a true colorimeter in full compliance with CIE, ISO and DIN standards as one can expect from Konica Minolta.

The CR-10 PLUS represents the entry point to objective colour measurement. Compared to many other entry level devices, the CR-10 PLUS is a true colorimeter in full compliance with CIE, ISO and DIN 5033 standards. 

Extremely simple to use, the CR-10 PLUS allows fast colour difference measurements between a target colour and a sample in just 2 steps. On the LCD screen colour difference are shown in CIELAB ∆L*∆a*∆b* and ∆E*ab or ∆L*∆C*∆H* and ∆E*ab values. 

The 8 mm measuring area (illuminated area 11 mm) and the sphere geometry (8°:di) suits almost any sample size or surface; for those applications needing a smaller spot size, the optional small spot set can decrease this measurement spot to 5 mm. 

The illumination by Xenon lamp, according to CIE standard illuminant D65 and 10° observer assure repeatable and correct colour measurements. 
Data can be stored internally and transferred to a PC using the USB connection, or printed out using an external printer.
