Extremely precise color measurement
Spectro 100xy assure exact determination of colors on
both transparent and reflective materials. Thanks to a highly sofisticated diffraction
grating and state-of-the-art electronics using best components these revolutionary
spectrophotometers assure utmost precision in the determination of color values, as
required today for numerous applications. The core of these instruments is a diffraction
grating, warranting maximum stability and maximum accuracy. This makes it possible to make
available to the most exacting user an instrument being able to solve even the most
complex color determination problems.
For digital imaging
Individual ICC profiles for input and output equipment,
such as e.g. scanner, filmsetter, printer, can be created by means of the measuring values
of these Spectrophotometers. These profiles are then used by a color management system,
such as e.g. Apple Colorsync, for exactly matching the colors of original and copy. Hence
such an instrument is indispensable for extremely true color rendition of scanned in and
elaborated film or paper originals. For contrary to the adaptation of characteristic
curves and gradation correction as can be made with densitometers, the Spectro 100 and
Spectro 100xy base the color adaptation on the transformation in a color space resulting
in a much bigger precision.
For traditional photography
Quality control in photo labs can be very much improved
thanks to Spectro 100 series, as with its help the color difference (CIE D Eab and D Euv) as felt by the human eye
can be exactly determined. When duplicating transparencies or prints the values thus
determined allow allocation of the final products to an independent quality grade (color
difference according to DIN/ISO standards).
Spectro 100xy can also be used as a very accurate
densitometer, because they display on the computer the densities of film and paper with a precision not reached by densitometers.
