Professional Color & Surface Measurement—Anywhere You Work
Color inconsistencies and surface variation cost manufacturers time, material, and credibility. Spectro 3 is engineered to solve that problem.
Spectro 3 combines lab-grade color accuracy, integrated gloss measurement, and multi-geometry optical capture into one compact, portable device—giving quality control teams, process engineers, and production operators the confidence to make fast, accurate decisions on real manufacturing surfaces.
Why Spectro 3 Is Different
Most portable color devices compromise on accuracy, geometry, or surface information. High-end benchtop spectrophotometers deliver precision—but at a price, size, and complexity that don’t fit modern production environments. Spectro 3 bridges that gap.
It aligns closely with laboratory reference spectrophotometers in different optical geometries.
Measures both color and gloss in a single device.
Supports 45/0° and d/8° geometries for better real-world surface performance.
Includes UV illumination to detect fluorescence and optical brighteners.
It’s the most accurate spectrophotometer Variable has ever built—and it’s designed to go where the work happens.
Surface Smart â„¢ Technology for Real World Materials
Measure challenging substrates with confidence using Surface Smart™ Technology, which captures color using both 45/0° and d/8° optical geometries. Delivers significantly improved accuracy across paint, plastics, fabrics, printed materials, leather, powder coatings, and more.
Built for Manufacturing & Quality Control Environments
Designed for daily professional use with over 1,000 measurements per charge, a built-in calibration shutter to protect optics, and included verification tiles to maintain measurement confidence. Faster decisions, fewer rejects, and less rework on the production floor.
Lab-grade color accuracy without the lab-grade price.
Achieve exceptional color measurement accuracy with average alignment of 0.3 dE00 to laboratory benchtop spectrophotometers. Spectro 3 delivers professional-grade results for quality control, process engineering, and production environments—without the cost or complexity of high-end lab instruments.
Expandable Software for Advanced QC (Optional)
Works out of the box with the free Spectro by Variable mobile app. Unlock advanced workflows with an optional QC Module (30-day free trial included) or Variable Cloud to build master color libraries, manage standards, and scale consistency across teams and locations.
