CHN SPEC DS-526 Spectrodensitometer (Ф5mm)
The CHN SPEC DS-526 Spectrodensitometer is a specialized device combining the features of a spectrophotometer and a densitometer. With a minimalist design focusing on a single measurement aperture, the DS-526 perfectly meets basic quality control needs in the printing industry, helping users easily monitor and adjust colors, ensuring the final product meets standards without requiring a massive investment.
Outstanding Features
- Printing industry standard 45/0 optical system: The device uses a 45/0 optical structure (45-degree illumination, 0-degree reception), conforming to the standard of visual color evaluation. The device supports ISO 13655 standard measurement conditions including M0, M1, M2, and M3.
- Standard Φ5mm measurement aperture: Unlike high-end multi-aperture models, the DS-526 is equipped with a fixed Φ5mm aperture. This is the most popular and optimal size for measuring standard color control strips (color bars) on prints, providing good light reception for accurate analysis of ink density parameters.
- Comprehensive measurement of printing indices: The device provides in-depth measurements for the printing industry such as: CMYK ink density, dot area, dot gain, print contrast, hue error, along with basic color indices like Lab* and dE*ab.
- High repeatability and consistency: The device delivers reliable measurement results with low repeatability error (dE*ab ≤ 0.02), helping manufacturers easily maintain color stability throughout work shifts and between different print batches.
- Touch screen & Intuitive operation: Equipped with a large color touch screen and a user-friendly interface, users can easily view charts, spectral reflectance data, and Pass/Fail results directly on the machine without necessarily connecting to a computer.
