Print, measure, and match. Done.
The all-in-one SpectroDens 4 spectrodensitometer (combined color spectrophotometer and color densitometer) will help you control your process, spot, Pantone® or other critical brandcolors by measuring solid ink density, % dot area, CIE Lab, deltaE, and more.
Visible Aperture.
Zero Guesswork.
A patented, side-mounted aperture, allows the operator to more easily position the optics over the desired color measurement location while providing visual confirmation.
Spot & Scan.
All in One.
Four precisely aligned wheels on the underside allow the SpectroDens spectrodensitometer to roll effortlessly between measurement locations for either spot measurements or color bar scanning.
Accuracy where it matters most.
ISO & G7
The SpectroDens 4 spectrodensitometer fulfills M0, M1, M2, M3 color measurement conditions in accordance to ISO 13655 and supports ISO and G7® methodologies.
NIST Certified
National Institute of Standards & Technology, calibrations ensure the measurement accuracy and agreement with other instrument manufacturers.
UHD Spectral Sensor
Samples color in approximately 3nm increments (from 400-700nm) providing a higher resolution spectral characterization when compared to other color measurement devices
SpectroDensitometer | Advanced Features
The SpectroDens spectrodensitometer offers Press Operators & Ink Technicians precision color control.
Best Color Match
InkCheck™ feature helps press operators minimize color differences (deltaE’s) by providing specific density adjustments to achieve best possible color match
Wireless Connectivity

SpectroDensitometer Demo Videos
Get familiar with all of the SpectroDens features with real demos.
Automatic Density
The video demonstrates how the SpectroDens spectrodensitometer automatically recognizes different process colors like Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black, and displays their corresponding density values.
Delta E & Pass Fail
Discover the efficient process of measuring Delta E and determining Pass/Fail status for print jobs using the SpectroDens. This guide demonstrates the practical steps for ensuring color accuracy in printing environments.
Function Setup
The video demonstrates how the SpectroDens device automatically recognizes different process colors like Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black, and displays their corresponding density values.
ExpressoMini
The measurement function ExPresso Mini allows the fast control of the printing quality during the printing process. Get an overview of the stability of the print run, by measuring the last ten printed sheets.
GrayGuide
The measurement function G7 & GrayGuide supports the G7™ calibration of presses and proofs according to the method developed by the IDEAlliance (International Digital Enterprise Alliance).
Color Match
This feature will allow printers to quickly and easily achieve an acceptable color match regardless of the presence of optical brightening agents in their substrates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Both – we call it a SpectroDensitometer. The handheld SpectroDens uses a highly accurate spectral engine which allows for both color and densitometric features.
Yes. The TECHKON SpectroDens calibration correlates to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) master color standards and metrology for “plug & play” measurement agreement with other popular instruments including the eXact.
The SpectroDens comes with a 3mm aperture. However, a smaller 1.5mm aperture is available at an additional cost and the aperture replacement is field upgradeable by the user.
Yes.
No. The SpectroDens is extremely easy to use and has quickly become the instrument of choice for printers looking for high quality measurements, versatility, and the ultimate user experience.
Yes, there are three different performance packages: The “Basic” model with essential density functions, the “Advanced” version with density and spectral functions, and the “Premium” model which adds color bar scanning capabilities.
