The 75 degree glossmeter is used primarily for the paper and vinyl producing industries.

For the paper industry several standards for gloss measurement exist, the most common ones are issued by the German DIN (Deutsches Institut Normung) and the American TAPPI (Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry).

The specular gloss of paper and paperboard at 75 degrees (15 from the plane of paper). This method is suitable for low to moderate-gloss coated and uncoated papers as well as for most ink films on paper or paperboard. The standard describes the technical requirements for a corresponding gloss meter.
