Rhopoint IQ can handle problems traditional gloss meters can't
Image quality is measured with the Rhopoint IQ, a handheld surface optical Detector that describes how light reflects from an object's surface. Traditional gloss meters can only measure the amount of reflected light, but cannot measure the impact of imaging quality on sensitivity.

Surface texture diminishes the quality of surface imaging without affecting gloss values. The gloss values ââmeasured by the traditional gloss meter on the two panels are the same.

Haze is a common phenomenon in painted and polished products that creates a milky appearance on the surface, reducing image clarity. Rhopoint IQ can quickly detect whether .
Rhopoint IQ can measure 20/60/85° gloss (GLOSS), peak reflectance (RSPEC), reflection haze (HAZE), imaging quality (RIQ), vividness (DOI), and reflection curve distribution.
Gloss (GLOSS)âMeasures the percentage of the amount of light reflected.
-Geometric analysis: In order to obtain more accurate data, corresponding light paths should be selected for different surfaces: matte: 85°, medium gloss: 60°, high gloss: 20°
Peak reflectivity (RSPEC) - is an indicator of light intensity within a small range of angles from the reflection angle .
-Purpose: Peak reflectance is very sensitive to subtle changes in texture and is used to discern subtle differences in texture on smooth surfaces.
Haze (HAZE) â An optical effect called haze that causes a milky appearance to the microstructure caused by poor pigment dispersion in the paint .
-Phenomena: Haze is a phenomenon that occurs on medium to high gloss surfaces. The micro-textured medium-high gloss surface produces low-intensity scattered light in the direction close to the main reflected light, but most of the incident light is reflected in the mirror, making the surface look high-gloss and imaging quality, but the image has a milky haze . . The lower the haze reading, the better the surface quality.
-Causes: poor dispersion, incompatibility of raw materials, no additives, quality of additives, environmental conditions during drying/drying/curing, polishing marks, fine scratches, aging, oxidation, insufficient cleanliness and surface residues things.
Reflection haze compensationâ The instrument obtains reflection compensation from highly reflective coatings, metallic paints, and special coatings to measure haze on the surfaces of these coatings.
Imaging quality (RIQ) - RIQ is used as an indicator . Compared with DOI, RIQ has higher resolution and is closer to the characteristics observed by the human eye, especially on high-quality surfaces, such as Car surface, etc.
Phenomenon of low image quality: orange peel, brush marks, ripples or other surface textures, causing the reflected image to be distorted.
Imaging quality (RIQ) - RIQ is used as an indicator . Compared with DOI, RIQ has higher resolution and is closer to the characteristics observed by the human eye, especially on high-quality surfaces, such as Car surface, etc.
Phenomenon of low image quality: orange peel, brush marks, ripples or other surface textures, causing the reflected image to be distorted.
- Causes: Process problems, irregular paint leveling, paint viscosity too high or too low, paint sag or flow before curing , pigment size or distribution that does not meet specifications, overspray, incorrect lighting and spraying time, paint gaps compatibility, incorrect baking time or temperature.
Distinctiveness of Image (DOI) - Measures the clarity of the reflection image of the product on the surface being measured.
