Not sure where to begin?
The Datacolor Check 3 is designed to deliver high-precision Colorimetric performance that tightly correlates with the Datacolor reference grade benchtop spectrophotometers.
Top Check 3 benefits:
- Increases productivity with a modern user interface and extensive onboard functions for stand-alone measurement and quality control tasks
- Expands measurement flexibility with the horizontal configuration not limited by height constraints
- Assures proper sample positioning with illuminated sample alignment port
- Improves efficiency with Bluetooth for live measurement recording and bi-directional data exchange
