Recognized by the leaders in offset, flexographic, and digital printing worldwide for its German-engineered precision, user-driven ergonomics, and cost-efficiency, the Techkon SpectroDens 4 spectrodensitometer is an evolved best-in-class handheld device for scanning and measuring your color. This award-winning, solid-state device is rugged yet lightweight and does the work of a densitometer and a spectrophotometer all in one as it rolls elegantly across the top of your press sheet or color swatch. It’s the proven combined color spectrophotometer and color densitometer instrument trusted by color management professionals from ink formulation to pre-press to print. Use it to quickly verify inks in the color lab/ink room, measure color of proofs in the pre-press department, and to reduce make-ready times and ensure color accuracy and quality control in the press room.

There’s simply no other color measurement instrument at its price that measures up. It comes free with our easy-to-use SpectroConnect^TM software (or our optional ChromaQA^TM platform upgrade) and our industry-leading two-year warranty. Get your (one) hand on one today!

ACCURATE

• ultra-high definition, spectral sensor in this color measurement device samples color in approximately 3nm increments (from 400-700nm) providing a higher resolution spectral characterization when compared to other color densitometers, spectrophotometers, or spectrodensitometers.
• NIST certified, National Institute of Standards & Technology, calibrations ensure the measurement accuracy and agreement with other instrument manufacturers.
• The SpectroDens 4 handheld spectrophotometer / densitometer / spectrodensitometer color measurement instrument fulfills M0, M1, M2, M3 color measurement conditions in accordance to ISO 13655 and supports ISO and G7® methodologies

ERGONOMIC

• A patented, side-mounted aperture, allows the operator to more easily position the optics over the desired color measurement location while providing visual confirmation.
• Four precisely aligned wheels on the underside of the Techkon SpectroDens color spectrodensitometer allow you to roll effortlessly between measurement locations.
• Sleek design and small size fits comfortably in the operators hand and allows for easy one-handed operation.

SPOT & SCAN & PROCESS

• The precision wheels on the underside of the SpectroDens line from the beginning, allow this sleek handheld color measurement instrument to roll efficiently and enable fast switching back and forth from spot measurements and color bar scanning.
• No expensive accessories to buy or install for scanning.
• Comes with free and easy to use Techkon SpectroConnect software or upgrade to our complete and ultra-efficient (and cost-efficient) color management software suite, ChromaQA.

Highlights

• The fastest & easiest way to control color and density in the pressroom.
• Techkon’s SpectroDens delivers unbeatable measurement accuracy and repeatability over time. And it’s the most ergonomic device on the market. That’s why operators consistently prefer the SpectroDens to the cumbersome, slow, clamshell style devices they have used in the past.

Six reasons you need the Techkon SpectroDens:

• Standards complicancy: The SpectroDens includes full support for ISO and G7® methodologies, and fulfills M0, M1, M2, M3 measuring conditions in accordance to ISO 13655.
• Speed: The innovative measurement head allows a single spot measurement approximately every 1 second while the patented, side-aperture design lets you easily position the optics over the desired measurement location for even faster operation.
• Accuracy: The high-resolution spectral engine enables spectral sampling in 10 nm intervals from 400 nm to 700 nm
• Versatility: Seamlessly switch between spot measurements and color bar scanning up to 43-inches long, with the push of a button, and without the need for additional accessories.
• Ergonomics: As well as being comfortable and easy to use, no moving parts means the solid state spectral engine can deliver unbeatable measurement accuracy and repeatability over time
• 2018 Intertech Award winner: The judges liked its unique “combination of super-fast measurement speeds, heightened intelligence, and a built-in mode for color bar scanning” and concluded they “foresee SpectroDens4 becoming the spectrophotometer of choice in many pressrooms.”
