Colormeter Basic/Professional/Premium Which one meets my color measurement needs?


Caipu has newly developed a color difference treasure, which is different from the traditional color difference meter. It is not only small in size, but also integrates the functions of color difference meter and Spectrophotometer . It adopts D/8 structure and has a supporting APP, which supports mobile phone Color management, with color number search function, find the color you want. Widely used in color control of plastics, printing, packaging, textiles, clothing and other industries.

Which colormeter basic version/professional version/advanced version meets my color measurement needs?  Picture 1

So what is the difference between the basic model, the professional version, and the enhanced version? How do customers choose? read below

First of all, from the overall function comparison:

  • ColorMeter SE, as an entry-level model, supports the measurement of basic color differences and search for color numbers, while ColorMeter Pro and ColorMeter MAX support a total of more than 20 measurement indicators, 26 evaluation light sources and search for color numbers;

  • Compared with ColorMeter SE and ColorMeter Pro measurement stability ΔE≤0.1, ColorMeter MAX measurement stability ΔE≤0.05;

  • The USB of ColorMeter SE is only for charging, while ColorMeter Pro and ColorMeter MAX support connecting to a computer;

  • The field of view of ColorMeter SE is only 10°, the field of view of ColorMeter Pro and ColorMeter MAX is 2°, 10°;

  • ColorMeter SE can measure 5,000 times on a single full charge, and ColorMeter Pro and ColorMeter MAX can measure 10,000 times on a single full charge;

  • ColorMeter Pro and ColorMeter MAX can pass the national secondary measurement;

  • ColorMeterMAX has a measurement accuracy of 0.01, and ColorMeter SE and ColorMeter Pro have a measurement accuracy of 0.1.

In addition, the specific technical parameters of the SE, Pro, and Max Colorimeters are compared as follows:
