Full color easy to read screen, adjustable brightness and 6 button touch sensitive interface
The Novo-Shade Duo Reflectometer can be used to assess either the shade of a surface (a simple indication of color based on lightness/darkness) or calculate the opacity of a coating, plastic film or paper sample. Measuring using 0/45° the Novo-Shade Duo measures the color of a surface and not the specular reflectance (gloss).
- In Shade Mode the Novo-Shade Duo can help maintain the production quality of the following:
  - Shade of paints, inks and coatings
  - Fading of textiles and plastics
  - Chalking of paint
  - Efficiency of detergents and bleaching agents
  - Whiteness of recycled paper
  - Cleanliness and oxidisation on metal surfaces
- In Opacity Mode the Novo-Shade Duo can help maintain the production quality of the following:
  - Hiding power of paints, inks and coatings
  - Transparency of plastic film
  - Opacity of paper
