Designed for high efficiency and confidence in colour formulation and quality control in textile, plastics, paint, coatings and more, the Spectro 1000 delivers the highest precision in Datacolor’s fleet of benchtop Spectrophotometers.
When high precision and close tolerance are required, trust the Datacolor Spectro 1000 benchtop Spectrophotometers to specify, formulate and control your colours.
Experience greater confidence in your measurement performance, with uniform assessment throughout various locations and sample temperature measurement for added assurance.
With four available configurations, the Spectro 1000 can support just about any application:
- Standard front-facing Spectro 1000
- Vertical downward-facing Spectro 1000V for unusual samples as well as for operations requiring high throughput
- Vertical upward-facing Spectro 1000X is ideal for liquid, paste, powder and granular samples
- Flexible Spectro 1050 for measurement in either reflectance or transmittance mode
Benefits of Spectro 1000 Family:
- Ensures uniform assessment across multiple locations and throughout the supply chain with industry leading inter-instrument agreement (IIA)
- Increases productivity with fast measurement speed and response times
- Saves time with seamless backward compatibility with other Datacolor benchtop instruments
- Increases operational confidence with sample temperature measurements
- Reduces measurement error with fool-proof sample placement positioning camera and LCD
- Ensures operational confidence with an included 5-year warranty*
