Techkon SpectroDens Basic

Compact Spectrodensitometer

SpectroDens is an all-purpose, modern measurement device for every application - from pre-press to print. It combines the qualities of a highly accurate spectrophotometer and an easy-to-use densitometer. Measurement is spectral, i.e. the entire color information - the spectral fingerprint of the color - is precisely registered. The device works strictly according to the standards valid for the Graphic Industry. It is particularly good at evaluating the Ugra/FOGRA-media wedge because it toggles between colorimetric measurement without polarization filter and density measurement with filter at the push of a button. The Windows software SpectroDens Connect supplied with the instrument clearly displays measurement data collected from the USB-port on the computer screen. Notable Features Patented measurement head for exact and direct positioning Attractive, ergonomic design handy and compact Self-explanatory operation Large, high-resolution display screen Automatic measurement function displays always the relevant values Polarization filter insertable by push of a button Precise, quick measurement (approx. 1 sec.) Approx. 10,000 measurements per battery charge Quick recharge on practical charging console Functions: SpectroDens Basic Automatic measurement Density CMYK Dot area,dot gain Gray and color balance Ink trapping to Preucil Print contrast SpectroDens Advanced - as the Basic model, but also features: Spectral density for spot colors Characteristic printing curve Slur/doubling value Dot area to Yule-Nielsen Ink trapping to Brunner and Ritz Density spectrum CIE Lab, dEab, XYZ, color circle Remission spectrum Color library SpectroDens Premium - as the Advanced model, but also features: CIE LChab, xyY, Luv, LCHuv, DIN Lab99 dE94, dE2000, dE99, dEcmc, dEuv Metamery index Whiteness,yellowness Pass-/fail tolerance, average Measurement technology: Spectral remission measurement and color density determination to ISO 5-3/4 Measurement geometry: 0/45° optics to DIN 5033 Spectral range: 400 to 700 nm in 10 nm steps Measurement aperture: 3 mm round standard 1,5 x 1,5 mm, exchangeable (accessory) 2,5 x 1 mm, exchangeable (accessory) Light source: Gas-filled lamp type A illumination Polarization filter: Twice linear crossed, Switched on and off per button release Measurement time: Approx.1 second per measurement White reference: Absolute and relative Absolute white standard integrated and protected in charging console Illumination types /Standard Observer: A,C,D50,D65 / 2° ,10° Density filter: DIN 16536, DIN 16536 NB, ISO/ANSI T, ISO/ANSI I, ISO E, Dmax (Advanced and Premium models only) Density measurement range: 0.00 D -2.50 D Repeatability: 0,01 D 0,03 CIE dEab Inter-instrument agreement: 0,01 D 0,3 CIE dEab Display: High-contrast, non-reflecting, LCD-graphic display, 240 x 160 pixels, 16 gray levels, contrast adjustable Power supply: Rechargeable NiMH battery, regulated recharge via charging console with A/C adapter, 100 -240 V,47-63 Hz, Approx.10,000 measurements per battery charge, Battery level control Communication-Port: USB Weight: 520 grams Dimensions: 190 x 65 x 56 mm Accessories: Small apertures Print control strip TCS Film Print control strip TCS Digital
