CHAPTER 1
– How to use TECHKON SpectroDens
1.3 Design of SpectroDens
SpectroDens is a solidly designed measurement device which is very functional and
easy to use. It is compact in size; the buttons can be reached with the right index finger
when the device is held with the right hand. The LCD display is inclined towards the
user, so the display information can be read clearly.
SpectroDens can be easily positioned on the measurement sample.
The device incorporates a high-resolution spectral sensor which analyzes the color
spectrum of the measured sample. The spectral data is the base information for cal-
culating densitometric and colorimetric data which is displayed. Densitometric values
can be solid density, dot area, dot gain or trapping values. Colorimetric values are typi-
cally CIE L*a*b*- or ΔE*-color information.
The USB-connector is for linking with a PC. The USB-cable with a Micro-USB plug,
which fits into the connector at the back of the device, is part of the package.
