A unique report shows density variation across press along with adjustment for each section. Back to the top ↑ Densities CMYK, Spot Color Density Both CMYK density and spot color density can be controlled to user preferences. Back to the top ↑ Dot Gain, Dot Area, Contrast The device can determine solid ink density, percents dot area, gray balance and deltaE color datas which are critical for Pantone™ and important brand colors. Back to the top ↑ Ink Trapping A unique feature for saving ink. It removes the corners of detail from a letter forms, then during the printing, the ink naturally spread to the removed corners. Back to the top ↑ Standard USB interface/ Wireless wifi communication(wifi optional) Has optional Wireless communication of measured values to the PC running Techkon SpectroConnect software, using standard WLAN network protocol (WiFi). Back to the top ↑ Scan Single or Multiple Row Color Bars (Print Curve Density) No attachments are needed when scanning color bars up to 8 inches in length. There are 4 integrated guided wheel at the bottom of the machine. Back to the top ↑ Printing Plate Beside energy and focus of the laser, dot gain is the most important information which has to be checked in plate exposure. Special plate measuring instruments working with video analysis have been developed for this application Back to the top ↑ Slur and Doubling Value With the measurement function Slur and Doubling printing deficiencies, caused by inexact, geometrical transfer of the image from the plate to the paper can by evaluated. Back to the top ↑ Expresso Mini (Density Trend) Make sure that your solid ink densities are accurate and consistent by quickly and efficiently measuring and displaying individual solid ink densitiesin each ink zone throughout the color bar. Intuitive Display - Easy to read graphic and numeric display of average solid ink density measurements throughoutthe color bar. Quickly Identify Problem Areas - Displays individual solid ink densities throughout the color bar quickly identifying problem areas across the press sheet. Back to the top ↑ Advanced SpectroDens Features Supports M0-M3 Measuring Conditions LED light source supports M0-M3 measuring conditions in accordance with ISO 13655 enabling accurate measurement of print substrates that contain optical brighteners. Back to the top ↑ CIELab, DEab, XYZ, CIE LChab The measurement function CIE Color Circle, (as well as CIELab, DEab, XYZ and CIE LChab), can be operated in absolute mode with DELTA ON or in comparison mode with DELTA OFF. Back to the top ↑ CIE Color Circle The function CIE Color Circle shows the L*a*b*-color values as well. Additionally there is a graphic display and a color is shown as a spot within the color circle. Back to the top ↑ Gracol G7TM - GrayGuide The TECHKON SpectroDens is the ultimate on-press quality control tool for printers calibrating and maintaining their printers based on the Gracol G7™ specification or customized G7™ settings. Full Gray Scale Range - Measure the 25%,50% and 75% gray values. Recommended Density Settings - Offers real-time C,M,Y recommended density adjustmentsto obtain neutral values according th G7™ specification. Back to the top ↑ Remission Curve The SpectroDens is capable of showing the Spectral window which displays the relative spectral remission curve (Y axis) of the measured color for each wavelength (X axis). Back to the top ↑ Ink Check (Color Guide) This feature checks whether the paper and ink characteristics do not allow to get closer to the reference standard. Back to the top ↑ Scan Multiple Patch Color Bars (Color and Density) Scan any color bar containing up to 54 patches; no guide bar required, 4 wheels keep straight alignment while scanning. Back to the top ↑ On-board Memory stores up to 4,500 Colors Comes with the memory capacity of 1200 sample values and 300 reference values, if the color value is not in the memory, users can upload with the Windows software SpectroConnect. Back to the top ↑ dE CIELAB, dEcmc, dE94, dE2000 - Displays Visual Color Difference Colors will change depending on the different light settings. The premium package offers the ability to see a color through dE CIELAB, dEcmc, dE94, dE2000. Back to the top ↑ Premium SpectroDens Features CIE LChab, xyY, Luv, LCHuv, DIN Lab99 The Premium-version of SpectroDens enables the display of additional color spaces, which might be used mainly in industries outside printing: CIE L*u*v*, CIE L*C*h* uv, CIE xyY and DIN Lab99. Back to the top ↑ ISO Check (Scan or Spot Measurements) ISO-Check compares measured density and L*a*b* color values against the ISO-12647-2 print industry standard and displays suggested density changes for more accurate and consistent color; can perform ISO checks in 3 seconds. Back to the top ↑ Metamerism index Metamerism index function is the operation which measures the color distance between the two color samples under two exactly defined light sources to see if they match. Back to the top ↑ Whiteness, Yellowness, Opacity SpectroDens Premium will display the whiteness index according to CIE and the yellowness index according to American standard ASTM D 1925. Back to the top ↑ Pass-Fail Tolerance Simple pass-fail display can be adjusted to customer specified color reference targets or color standards such as IGCMI and Pantone. Back to the top ↑ Averaging From a series of single measurements Average values can be calculated and displayed. This function may be used when the surface of the sample has no even distribution of color. Back to the top ↑ Media Wedge (Scan or Spot Measurements) The program module Media Wedge serves the fast, colorimetric analysis of the Ugra /Fogra Media Wedge. The software evaluates the color quality printed in colorimetric terms. Back to the top ↑ Videos
