SpectroPad DigiPress

SpectroPad DigiPress is the process control device for Digital Presses. It is the ideal tool to keep your digital printing process under control. Within seconds, the operator can check color accuracy (against industry standards), color repeatability and spot colors. The ability to store color libraries as well as create recall custom spot color libraries, make it extremely flexible and versatile. Moreover, it can be used for calibration (linearization and profiling) of digital printers. It works according to and complies with industry standards in place.

Application fields:

Process control for digital presses:
a) Accuracy check (color fidelity)
b) Repeatability check (color stability)
Single measurements of spot colors with subsequent check for color true printing
Calibration
Image quality evaluations (homogeneity on the print according to Fogra M-Score)
