Calibrated Individual Color Standards

We offer certified, traceable calibrations of the color standards that we produce. We provide calibrated 2x2-inch standards in 48 regular colors with a glossy surface finish. Our fees do not include shipping, insurance, or fixturing (if required).

Depending on the number of calibrations, our fees range from 25% to 35% of the cost of similar calibrations at the National Research Council of Canada. (Caveat: Our abridged spectrophotometers output reflectance data at a wavelength interval of 10 nm.)

We offer certified traceable calibrations in 3 geometries using the following reference quality spectrophotometers: (A) Konica-Minolta CM-2500c, 360 - 740 x 10 nm, (45/0) bi-directional geometry. (B) GretagMacbeth ColorEye 7000A, 360 - 750 x 10 nm, SPIN (specular-included) and SPEX (specular-excluded) geometries. (Note: For the Konica-Minolta instrument the range is 360 - 740 nm, and the wavelength interval is 10 nm.)

To provide traceability we maintain 40 reference standards recently calibrated at the National Research Council of Canada, the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, or Avian Technologies L.L.C. For the (0/45) geometry our 10 reference standards span the wavelength range 250 - 850 x 5 nm. For the SPIN and SPEX geometries the range is 360 - 830 x 1 nm.
