Sphere Benchtop Spectrophotometers
Laboratory-grade colour measurement for production environments. Choose from two models built on the same trusted platform, each delivering outstanding accuracy, repeatability, and operator confidence.
Why choose a Sphere Benchtop Spectrophotometer?
When colour consistency is non-negotiable, a sphere benchtop spectrophotometer gives you the gold standard of measurement. The integrating sphere captures both specular-included (SPIN/SCI) and specular-excluded (SPEX/SCE) readings simultaneously, giving you a complete picture of how a sample truly appears — regardless of surface texture or finish. Whether you're approving a print run, matching a paint batch, or qualifying a textile, these instruments remove the guesswork and keep your supply chain aligned.
What kinds of samples can these instruments measure?
Both instruments support port up, port down, and port forward measurement positions, and can be fitted with optional accessories to handle textured materials, odd shapes, liquids, powders, and gels. The Ci7600 adds the ability to measure transparent and translucent materials via its transmission door — with measurements possible whether the door is open or closed, and no fixed maximum sample width.
Will these devices integrate with my existing colour data and software?
Yes. The Ci7000 series is designed for compatibility. The Ci7500 and Ci7600 supports legacy data formats to protect your existing database investment, making adoption throughout the supply chain straightforward. Both models connect via USB or ethernet, and both support X-Rite's Colour iQC quality assurance software for a complete end-to-end colour management workflow.
How easy are these instruments to use day-to-day?
Both models are designed with the production floor in mind. An LED status panel provides at-a-glance instrument status, and the on-board digital camera lets operators preview and actively target the exact measurement spot before capturing. Calibration media and aperture plates are stored in a built-in drawer so everything stays with the device. When paired with X-Rite's Colour iQC software, the workflow becomes even more streamlined, immediate pass/fail feedback, image archiving for audit trails, and direct corrective guidance when samples are out of tolerance.
