BYK-mac with small aper­ture

Mea­sure­ment of effect fin­ishes on small or curved parts

Spe­cial effect fin­ishes are used in many appli­ca­tions to cre­ate new color impres­sions empha­siz­ing the design of a prod­uct. Objects like mobile phone hous­ings, bicy­cles or win­dow
han­dles are very small or curved. They require a color instru­ment with small aper­ture and repeat­able sam­ple place­ment.
The BYK-mac with 12 mm aper­ture guar­an­tees repeat­able results even on such prod­ucts.
