The Techkon SpectroPlate is a high-resolution, multi-functional digital microscope that measures dot percentage, screen angles, lines per inch/cm, dot gain and AM, FM or hybrid screens of traditional offset or process-less, chemistry-free printing plates. It features the highest accuracy possible utilizing a CMOS color matrix sensor which also ensures repeatability at +/- 0.5%. The SpectroPlate digital microscope for offset printing plates is also extremely fast. A single measurement takes just 1 second.

Precise measurement of the right dot transfer on offset printing plates is a key component of comprehensive quality control in the printing industry. Techkon’s printing plate measurement solution, SpectroPlate, is the best microscopic image capture and processing instrument in its class. It unifies all advantages of modern measurement technology in a compact, handheld device. SpectroPlate can read any screen size and screen technology. Its spectrally white illumination and dynamic color evaluation permits reading of all kinds of plate types and coated surfaces. Measured color values and transfer curves are displayed and stored and all measurement data can be used directly for linearizing a RIP powered plate processor. One exceptional feature is the ability to enlarge the view of the microscopic images.

SpectroPlate is available in two different types of performance packages. An entry-level model is for dot percentage measurements on all popular types of printing plates, film and CMYK prints. The expert version additionally features the ability to record complete transfer curves and analyze geometric objects right within the device.
