Konica Minolta CR-10 Color Reader

The Color Reader CR-10 is a very compact, battery powered, hand-held portable colorimeter for quick color control. At first, simply measure the target and then the sample. After one second the color difference - expressed in L*a*b* and dE* or L*C*H* and dE* - will appear on the LCD display. The measuring area of 8 mm in addition to the 8/d geometry allows a universal use in a wide variety of applications. All measurements are taken under the conditions of standard illuminant D65 and 10° observer. For print out of the readings the CR-10 can be connected to an external printer.

Measures reflected light using 8° illumination/diffuse viewing. Measurement diameter of 8mm. Streamlined functionality for lower cost. Integrated measurement, data processing, and display section. Portable, lightweight, compact design.
