Scanning spectrophotometer at press side

[johnny_jay]

Management is talking about getting a scanning spectrophotometer for one of our newer presses. I was wondering if any of you are using one, what do you have and what software are you running with it?

Thank you,

We have them on our Heidelberg presses. Work great. We use the Prinect software along with the mini-spots on the press sheets to fine tune our ICC profiles.

We have the same system, Heidelberg's Prinect ImageControl scanner/spectrophotometer.  Works really well.

That is pretty sweet.

I guess they don't want to get that fancy, more like a scanning densitometer.

I think they just want something to read density and dot gain, maybe trap and then print a report to go along with the samples.

Price is a factor as well.

Thanks,

we dont need no fancy schmancy densitometer thingy - we got press minders - right?






our 20-20 vision minders have an x-rite densitometer  :grin:

Half the time the units are all out of phase and the color bar doesn't print any way.
