Calibrate Sets of Customer-Supplied Color Standards

We offer certified traceable calibration services for customer-owned sets of CERAM Series II tiles and other collections of color artifacts. Customer-supplied standards must be boxed, clean, and ready for measurement. We can provide non-destructive cleaning for an additional $15.00 per standard. The prices listed below include one non-abrasive optical component bag, or one soft optical pad, for each calibrated 2x2-inch standard.

Our traceable calibrations are available in 3 geometries, and our fees are roughly 35% of the comparable cost at the National Research Council of Canada.

We use 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.

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.
