Betacolor S1
Color Reflection Densitometer
Operating Instructions
ver. 2b
Introduction
The
BETACOLOR S1
Color Reflection Densitometer is
easy-to-use for single and multicolor presswork, color
proofing,
and color calibration.
It is virtually maintenance free due to high efficiency LED’s
that provide more than 1,000,000 measurements with 2
AA alkaline batteries. Color channel switching is done
electronically without the need of power consuming
motors or bulky rechargeable battery packs. The AC
charger and internal charging circuits have been
eliminated.
Color density measurements are made simultaneously in
all four color channels each time a sample is measured.
The dominant color is displayed automatically while the
others are available at the touch of a button.
The background density of the paper is auto-matically
zeroed out, helping the pressman maintain optimum
appearance across varying paper stocks.
The retracting sighting aperture and illumination aperture
never touch the wet ink to avoid false subsequent
measurements.
