The X-Rite Ci62 Medium Aperture (8mm) Sphere Based Handheld Spectrophotometer is a precise color measurement solution designed for quality control applications across industrial manufacturing, packaging, and complex material workflows. Featuring advanced sphere-based measurement technology, the Ci62 delivers accurate and repeatable color data on textured materials, metallic substrates, molded plastics, painted surfaces, and woven textiles.
With its flexible 8mm measurement aperture, the Ci62 provides the ideal balance between measurement versatility and accuracy for a wide range of sample sizes and shapes. The handheld spectrophotometer helps manufacturers maintain consistent color quality throughout production while reducing variation between batches, suppliers, and manufacturing locations.
The Ci62 delivers exceptional measurement performance with 0.2 ΔE inter-instrument agreement and 0.05 ΔE white ceramic short-term repeatability, providing dependable color data for demanding quality control environments. Its simultaneous SPIN/SPEX measurement capability allows users to identify differences in color and gloss, helping verify both instrumental measurements and visual appearance.
Designed for seamless integration into professional color workflows, the Ci62 works with X-Rite color formulation and quality control software to provide a complete solution for managing, monitoring, and optimizing color performance from development through production.
The innovative flip shoe mechanism improves measurement flexibility by making it easier to reach difficult areas, while optional NetProfiler support enables track and trace capabilities for maintaining instrument performance across multiple devices and locations.
