Using a Stand-alone DENSITOMETER
Old-Type Calibration Image
Use the following method to measure and enter the
density data.
[1] Prepare a stand-alone DENSITOMETER for use.
[2] Measure the density at the center of each gray step
on the Calibration Image.
(a) Check that the notch on the edge of the film
is at the upper right corner for 35 x 43 cm, 35
x 35 cm, and 8 x 10 in. For 11 x 14 in., the
notch should be at the lower right corner.
(b) Read the 9 gray steps on the calibration
image.
Note
If you have an “old-type” calibration image, read either
side strip of 9 gray steps, but read all the steps from the
same side.

[3] Record the data.
[4] Press [SELECT] on the CONTROL PANEL to
display the screen for the first gray step value.
[5] To change the density value for a step,
(a) press the [
▼
] key on the CONTROL
PANEL to decrease the density value.
(b) press the [
▲
] key on the CONTROL
PANEL to increase the density value, or
Note
The minimum density value that can be entered is 0.00,
and the maximum density is 3.99.
[6] Press [NEXT] to enter the density value and
display the next density step.
[7] Do Steps 5 and 6 for gray steps 2 through 9,
sequentially.
