Electrostatic Sample Holder

Electrostatic Sample Holder

i

Uses an electrostatic charge to keep flexible non-textile substrates such as paper, film and thin plastics flat during measurement. Avoids residue or damage that adhesive holders can leave on sensitive materials. Ideal for graphic-arts and packaging substrates where surface integrity matters.

Holds flexible substrates flat without adhesive for clean, repeatable measurements.

Polarization Filter

Polarization Filter

i

The Polarization filter attaches to the Spectro LFP qb measurement head to suppress first-surface reflections from glossy, metallic and varnished substrates. It enables M3-compliant measurements per ISO 13655 and is essential when measuring polarized materials in graphic-arts and packaging color management workflows.

For eliminating first surface reflectance on glossy and metallic substrates.

Set of 2 Sample Holders for thick and heavy media

Set of 2 Sample Holders for thick and heavy media

i

A pair of dedicated holders for measuring thick, rigid or heavy materials such as ceramic, glass, wood, plexiglas and rigid plastics. Holds substrates flat and stable during automated chart measurement, supporting media up to 20 mm thick on the Spectro LFP qb.

Securely fixes rigid and heavy substrates up to 20 mm for safe automated measurement.

Sticky Mat Sample Holder

Sticky Mat Sample Holder

i

The sticky mat sample holder uses a low-tack adhesive surface to keep thin, lightweight or curling substrates perfectly flat during automated chart measurement. Ideal for film, vinyl, paper-thin substrates and any material that won’t stay flat on its own.

Adhesive mat that holds lightweight and curling substrates flat for accurate measurement.

Frame Transmission Sample Holder for M1 measurements

Frame Transmission Sample Holder for M1 measurements

i

A precision frame holder for transmission measurements requiring M1 measurement conditions per ISO 13655. Accommodates films, transparencies, and backlit substrates while ensuring consistent positioning and repeatable measurement geometry.

Enables M1-compliant transmission measurements per ISO 13655.

Electrostatic Textile Sample Holder

Electrostatic Textile Sample Holder

i

Uses an electrostatic charge to hold textile substrates perfectly flat during automated measurement — without adhesives, tape or pinning. Essential for measuring distorted or stretchy fabrics in dye-sublimation and direct-to-garment workflows. Built-in on the Textile Edition; available as an accessory for the standard Spectro LFP qb.

Holds textiles flat without adhesive for precise color measurement on fabrics.

Barbieri Gateway software
