Accuracy Requirements: Determine the level of accuracy needed for your color measurements. Some GAO Tek’s applications require high precision, while others may be more forgiving.

Measurement Parameters: Consider our specific parameters you need to measure, such as color space (RGB, CMYK, Lab), illuminants (D65, D50), observer angle (2° or 10°), and color difference formulas (CIEDE2000, CIELAB).

Sample Size and Shape: Consider the size and shape of the samples you’ll be measuring. Ensure that the GAO Tek’s colorimeter’s aperture size and shape are suitable for your samples.
