5 Advantages of Using an Automatic Scanning Color Spectrophotometer

What is a Scanning Spectrophotometer? A scanning spectrophotometer is a precision instrument used in the printing industry to measure and control color with high accuracy. In print applications, a spectrophotometer is used to detect variations in ink color, density, and spectral data to ensure consistent, high-quality results. Its main purpose is to automatically capture detailed color information across an entire press sheet so operators can make precise ink adjustments quickly. Unlike a handheld spectrophotometer, a…

Dispelling the Myth of Hand Scanning Densitometers

Does the scanning speed of the spectrodensitometer affect the accuracy of its measurements? A highly inaccurate supposition of some handheld scanning spectrodensitometers for the print industry today is the notion that if you vary the speed with which you manually move the instrument than the accuracy of the measurements will be compromised. In reality, handheld scanning spectrodensitometers offer the exact same accuracy as the high-end automated scanning systems and are often times the perfect solution…
