QualiSpec 700D Handheld Color Spectrophotometer

Handheld Color Spectrophotometer Overview

The QualiSpec 700D serves as a portable color spectrophotometer crafted to inspect surface shades, compare production batches, and verify spectral reflectance across visible wavelengths from 400nm to 700nm. Utilizing a D/8 optical geometry and a 40mm integrating sphere, this unit splits incoming illumination across a dual optical path with a patented concave grating structure. This setup tracks internal light variations side by side with your target sample, eliminating signal drift during evaluation.

At Qualitest, we supply this color measurement spectrophotometer to help your technicians maintain tight shade tolerances without relying on bulky benchtop units. The system captures readings in under two seconds per test run and delivers a repeatability rating of dE*ab 0.025 or lower. This gives quality assurance teams immediate numerical confirmation when checking color variance between supplier raw lots and finished inventory.

Compliance & Standards

Meeting internationally recognized test criteria ensures that your inspection logs match across separate testing facilities and supply chains. This color spectrophotometer complies with standard evaluation procedures published by primary international testing bodies:

• CIE No.15: Meets standard illumination geometry and colorimetric calculation criteria.
• ISO 7724-1: Matches global color measurement methods specified for paints and industrial coatings.
• ASTM E1164: Fulfills standard practices for obtaining spectrophotometric data for object-color evaluation.
• DIN 5033 Teil 7: Satisfies German technical specifications governing spectrophotometric color analysis.
• ASTM E313-00, ASTM E313-73, and ASTM D1925: Follows established formulas for calculating whiteness and yellowness indices.
• AATCC Test Methods: Conforms to standardized colorfastness and shade alteration calculations used in textile manufacturing.

Each instrument arrives with an official Calibration Certificate, confirming factory verification against traceable reference baselines before delivery to your plant.

Key Features

Each hardware and software element of this portable color spectrophotometer connects directly to specific operating advantages during routine quality checks:

• Concave Grating Optical System (US Invention Patents): Delivers 10nm optical intervals across the 400nm to 700nm spectral band, providing measurement repeatability under 0.025 dE*ab so you detect minor shade shifts early.
• Four Swappable Test Apertures: Includes 11mm, 6mm, 3mm, and 1 by 3mm aperture sizes, allowing you to inspect wide panels, curved plastic parts, or narrow samples using a single unit.
• Zirconium Auto-Calibration Base: Features a scratch-resistant synthetic zirconium reference plate with a Mohs rating of 9 that experiences no discoloration from ambient temperature or moisture changes, maintaining baseline accuracy whenever docked.
• Dual Optical Path Real-Time Compensation: Scans the internal light source simultaneously with the target reading, preventing errors caused by source degradation over time.
• Built-In Camera Viewfinder: Uses a high-definition internal camera to show the exact target zone on the 3.5-inch IPS display, eliminating alignment mistakes on small or textured products.
• Rechargeable 7.2V / 3000mAh Battery Setup: Delivers up to 8,000 consecutive test cycles on a single charge, providing continuous operation through long plant inspection shifts.
• Dual SCI and SCE Modes: Measures both specular component included (SCI) and specular component excluded (SCE) conditions to separate surface finish effects from core substrate pigmentation.
• ColorExpert PC Software and Mobile Connectivity: Connects through Bluetooth or USB to Android, iOS, and Windows applications, letting teams store 10,000 production records, look up digital color collections, and automate recipe adjustments.

Product Applications & Operating Environments

The QualiSpec 700D supports general industrial inspection environments, testing laboratories, and assembly line quality stations. Because verified equipment data focuses on indoor production operations, facility personnel deploy this handheld color spectrophotometer in regular plant facilities, color-mixing stations, and quality control departments.

Primary application areas include:

• Paint and Industrial Coatings: Checking batch-to-batch pigmentation consistency, confirming hiding opacity, and tracking color shifts across wet-to-dry conversion stages using D/8 SCI and SCE modes.
• Commercial Printing and Packaging: Measuring CMYK density, verifying ink laydown on paper or flexible polymer packaging, and confirming that print runs match customer target cards.
• Textile Manufacturing: Evaluating dye lot consistency, measuring whiteness indices across treated fibers, and checking color fastness between dyed yarns and completed woven fabrics.
• Cross-Facility Quality Coordination: Checking desk-to-desk alignment using BCRA reference standards so your production plants and downstream buyers verify identical color metrics across distributed sites.
