Translucent Tile Set

The Translucent Tile Set contains 16 moderately to severely translucent ceramic color standards. Because of their translucency, these color standards are not recommended for testing small-aperture spectrophotometers. We developed this set for use by metrologists who need to adopt our procedure for measuring translucency.

Each Translucent Tile Set includes 16 2x2-inch glossy color standards, 16 soft optical pads, a re-sealable plastic storage case, instructions for cleaning and maintenance, a serialized certificate of ownership, and a CD disk that contains typical spectral reflectance data.

The prices listed below are EXW Bellingham (IncoTerms 2000). Contact us to inquire about the availability of colorimetric data or additional information about translucency.

List Prices

1 - 4 Boxed sets containing 16 2x2-inch color standards, translucent colors, typical calibrations and translucency data only, $1,250.00/set

5 - 9 Boxed sets containing 16 2x2-inch color standards, translucent colors, typical calibrations and translucency data only, $1,150.00/set
