Customer Support & Technical Specifications

Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing ColorRuler. To ensure the highest accuracy in your color management workflow, please review the following technical guidelines and storage instructions:

General Notes
-Reference Data: Download official target reference files from our website.
-Storage Conditions: Keep sealed and stored at 15–20°C with 30–40% RH.
-Environmental Sensitivity: Minimize exposure to ambient air and light to prevent spectral drift.
-Handling: Avoid touching the patches. Ensure the area within the black border remains free of fingerprints, dust, or stains.

Accuracy & Lifespan
-Data Precision:To ensure absolute stability, reference data is generated several months after production once the pigments have fully degassed and settled. We perform multi-unit sampling from each batch and utilize a weighted average to create the final reference file.
-Average Accuracy: ΔEab< 0.3
-Peak Deviation: ΔEab< 1.0

Service Life:
-Theoretical Lifespan: Approximately 5 years under ideal storage conditions.
-Recommended Replacement: Due to variables such as usage frequency and environmental exposure, we recommend replacing the target every 2 years to maintain professional-grade precision.
