CM-26d | CM-26dG Portable Spectrophotometer

The CM-26dG performs the job of two instruments by simultaneously measuring color and gloss. The integrated gloss sensor will significantly improve the speed of the inspection process & remove the need for a separate gloss device. The CM-26dG measures color in about half the time of previous models, at approx.
