Designed for versatility in various applications, the CM-2500d is a portable
integrating sphere spectrophotometer incorporating Numerical Gloss Control.
Powerful partnership between
CM-2500d and
Color Data Software
SpectraMagic

NX
Simultaneous measurement of SCI (specular component included) and SCE (specular component excluded).
Advanced Numerical Gloss Control.
Simultaneous measurement of SCI and SCE displays the
data on the LCD in only 1.5 seconds. Unlike conventional
spectrophotometers, there is no need to mechanically
switch between SCI and SCE mode. This improves
working efficiency and provides stable measured data
since the measurement area does not shift when the mode
is switched. And also Relativity Gloss Value can be
displayed by using Numerical Gloss Control.
For plastics, paints, resins and consumer products

The LCD specifi cations are subject to
change without prior notice.
• SCI is a method in which measurements are
taken with the specular reflection included.
For this reason, it minimizes influences of the
surface condition of a sample, and is
especially suitable for color quality control and
Computer Color Matching.
Expanded LCD display (64 x 240 dots)
Displays large quantities of information
(simultaneous display of SCI and SCE data etc.)
High-accuracy sensor
Measures at 10nm intervals for the full wavelength range.
Excellent repeatability
• SCE is a method in which measurements are
taken excluding the specular reflection. This
type of measurement provides results similar
to those observed visually.
High reliability and long life.
Maintenance-free design.
The number of moving parts in the instrument is minimized
through the introduction of numerical control technology.
The CM-2500d can be used with confidence, since it has
been developed, manufactured and calibrated to meet ISO
9001 requirements.

Compact, lightweight, with an easy-to-operate
navigation wheel and large LCD display.
The battery-powered small, light body allows the instrument to be
placed in any position at the sample surface.
The CM-2500d's large LCD display and its reverse display
function provide easy reading, irrespective of which hand it is
held in. Using your finger, the navigation wheel allows simple,
user friendly operation.

For paints, plastics, automobiles, ceramics, architectural interiors, textile, paper, food etc.
Promotes accurate, consistent color communication.
Conforms to widely-accepted industry standards and
allows measurements in all popular color spaces.
The optics use an integrating sphere to provide diffuse
illumination/8-degree viewing system.
The CM-2500d conforms to all widely accepted standards
including ISO, JIS, DIN, CIE and ASTM, and generates
measurements in color spaces such as L*a*b*, Yxy,
Munsell and CMC.

images with measured data. Measure samples in any of 8
universally accepted color spaces. Select from 15 illuminants, and
up to 40 indices to determine specific color and appearance
properties, such as strength, brightness, haze, yellowness, opacity
and strength. You can even configure up to 3 customized color
equations. Reports range from simple Pass/Fail to trend charts,
histograms, color plots, and spectral graphs. SpectraMagic
comes with predefined templates using skin technology, or you can
create your own templates. For illustrations and explanations to
understanding color and color measurement technology, there is a
