Introduction
“State of the Art” spectrophotometer for maximum performance in colour measurement
The CM-3700A is the proof of Konica Minolta’s leadership in advanced optical technology with a true “State of the Art” instrument. In every detail and without compromise, the CM-3700A is designed for maximum performance and thus to act as reference instrument in a global colour management network. The CM-3700A allows colour measurement of solid, translucent and transparent samples in reflectance and transmittance.
The entire optical system is designed and manufactured without compromise, and exceed the requirements of international standards while offering superior level of inter-instrument agreement out of the production line.
The superiority of the CM-3700A in terms of absolute accuracy and long term stability, especially on very dark or high chromaticity colours has been recognised by top ranking institutes and leading companies throughout the colour industry.
