Features

The BYK-mac i objectively measures color under different viewing angles as well as sparkle and graininess. Additionally, it detects and quantifies fluorescent light in the visible range.

Total color impression:
- 5-angle color measurement for light/dark travel evaluation:
  15° / 25° / 45° / 75° / 110°
- Additional color measurement behind the gloss for color flop analysis: -15°
- Sparkle and graininess measurement for flake characterization
Detection and quantification of fluorescent light excited in the visible range (Intensity Emission)
Excellent agreement between instruments allows use of digital standards among the supply chain
Stable, long-term calibration – needed only every three months
Temperature independent results (10 – 40° C) – without calibration
Stable positioning due to 4 trigger pins on bottom plate – operator influence minimized
10 year warranty on LED light source – no lamp changes needed
