Spectrophotometer CM-3700A Plus
Konica Minolta All New CM-3700A Plus Spectrophotometer with the highest accuracy and repeatability even at low reflectance/transmittance Color Measurement
The all new CM-3700A Plus spectrophotometer is the successor model to model CM-3700A. It is designed for maximum performance that delivers high accuracy and reliability; world-class accuracy has been realized by harnessing Konica Minolta’s optical technologies and thus act as a reference instrument in the global color measurement network. The entire optical systems is designed and manufactured without compromised and exceed the requirement of international standards while offering superior level of inter-instrument agreement out of the production line.
CM-3700A Plus comes with new functions, such as an easy-to-position camera viewfinder and a sample thermometer to measure the temperature concurrently with colors, thereby realizing more rigorous color management. Given that it will be used as a reference standard instrument in color management, the CM-3700A Plus is designed to ensure high compatibility with the conventional model and stably produce reliable measurement values over the long term by using highly durable parts, thereby helping to improve product quality in manufacturing.
An advanced spectrophotometer for reflectance and transmittance measurement of broad range of applications such as pigment, dyes, textile, plastic, paint ceramic etc.

Key features and benefits:
- High accuracy: The CM-3700A Plus boasts exceptional accuracy, with an inter-instrument agreement of ΔE*ab ≤ 0.08. This ensures consistent and reliable color measurement results across different instruments and locations.
- Versatility: It can measure a wide range of samples, including opaque, transparent, translucent, and fluorescent materials. It also offers various aperture sizes to accommodate different sample sizes and shapes.
- Efficiency: The CM-3700A Plus offers fast measurement speeds and simultaneous measurement of SCI/SCE, which streamlines the color measurement process.
- Advanced technology: It incorporates cutting-edge optical technology, such as a low-expansion stainless steel optical system and a proprietary barium sulfate coating, to ensure long-term stability and accuracy.
- User-friendly interface: The CM-3700A Plus is designed for ease of use, with a clear status panel and optional SpectraMagic NX2 software for comprehensive color analysis.
- Built with the user in mind and no compromises: The CM-3700A Plus is assembled by hand in Japan and is produced without compromises, like its predecessor the CM-3700A a stainless steel optical system ensures the log term stability and durability with extremely low thermal expansion.
- View the configuration and trigger measurements on the device: The built in display panel displays the current configuration to ensure that measurement conditions are correct. The display panel also features a power button an measurement button to simplify the device operation.
- Accessory storage built into the device: A built in storage space for the calibration tile, zero calibration box and target masks is built into the device body making it easy to store the essential accessories and maintain a clear and efficient workspace.
- Redesigned transmittance chamber for easy measurement of liquid samples: Now using the same mechanism as the CM-36dG series to slide and lock the chamber opening, the transmittance chamber is easy to use for operators who need to repeatably measure a number of liquid samples.
- Sample thermometer and environment temperature and humidity sensor: Some colours and sample types are susceptible to thermochromaticity (particularly high chroma samples), meaning that the colour appears different when these conditions change. The CM-3700A Plus uses a sensor to record this information in the colour data file, allowing you to build a correction curve or begin a troubleshooting process.
- Sample viewer camera :The integrated sample viewer camera assures that even small or patterned samples can be accurately and repeatably measured with a minimum of wasted time in sample presentation. Sample image captures can be saved alongside measurement data in SpectraMagic™ NX2.
- Wavelength Analysis and Adjustment feature: Ensure that your measurement data is protected from drifts as the system performs a routine self check and adjustment with each white calibration. Wavelength Analysis and Adjustment requires a valid service and maintenance agreement. more information on WAA can be found in a separate document linked at the bottom of this page.
