What instrument is used for paper gloss detection?

Paper gloss is a technical index to evaluate the ability of paper surface to reflect light. Gloss index is mainly used to evaluate coated paper, such as coated paper and cast coated paper. The glossiness of paper is mainly determined by the paper surface sizing material and process. The glossiness of paper has a relatively large impact on the printing effect of paper and the visual sense of reading.

Different gloss levels are required for different purposes. Outdoor advertising and packaging hope to win the user's attention with a relatively strong visual sense. For reading books, it is generally required that the glossiness of the paper should not be too high. Excessive glossiness will produce a relatively high reflective effect, which will cause eye fatigue and affect vision for a long time.

NBCHAO provides different brands of high-end and low-grade gloss meters, including gloss meters with different test angles such as 20°, 45°, 60°, 75°, and 85°. Generally, the gloss meter used for paper testing usually uses a 75° angle, and the following are several 75° gloss meters of different brands.
