basICColor catch all
The ColorScoutA3+ enables accurate, high-efficiency
measurements of color charts with the Spectrodensitometer
FD-7 and FD-5. It enables
automatic positioning and
measurement of the instrument,
For major efficiency increases in daily color control work.
Enables color reproduction closer to visual evaluation with simple operation.
With basICColor catch all, commonly used templates and jobs are already included, so there is no need for measurement preparations such as
setting target values, tolerances, etc.
When the software is started, just select the required measurement conditions in the Job Management screen. You can then connect
immediately to the Spectrodensitometer FD-7 or FD-5, and PDF reports can be created and output automatically.
providing higher repeatability
and reducing labor compared
Data is stored in ISO format (ISO 12642-2), so they can be fed back to profile creation software. Since the FD-7 and FD-5 are the industry's first
spectrodensitometers to offer M1 measurement condition, color reproduction closer to visual evaluation becomes possible.
to manual measurements.
Measure various types of standard color charts to easily check
whether proof and printed colors are within offset printing standards.
When the FD-7 is used, scan measurements (which were impossible with conventional
spectrodensitometers) can be taken, so data from multiple color patches can be obtained in one
operation.
XY automatic color-measurement stage.
Table available with either white surface or black
surface.
Pass/Fail judgement results can be seen at a glance.
Using the ColorScoutA3+ with the FD-7 or FD-5 makes it easier to measure colorimetric data of color
charts under ISO 13655 Measurement Condition M1. Measurement Condition M1 colorimetric data
can be used to create color profiles that more closely match visual evaluation.
Stricter in-house company tolerances or standard tolerance values specified by customers can
be set and the results of pass/fail judgements based on those tolerances can be easily seen.
Three-dimensional color solid display enables easy checking of color shifts.
Target colors can also be created from ICC profiles.
Maximum measurable chart size of 320 x 460 mm improves measurement efficiency by allowing even
large color charts to be measured in a single procedure without the need to cut up or tile the charts.
Measurement of user-designed charts is also possible. The included ColorChart software makes it
easy to create a definition file for measuring the user-designed chart.
For ISO 12647-2 printing certification
checks and print process quality
management.
Enables measurement of Fogra and IDEAlliance
standards and certification checking.
In addition to CIELAB for color, evaluation results
for CMYK dot gain and mid-tone spread as
required for the above certification checking can
also be easily obtained. This can help discover
and resolve problems in the printing process at
an early stage.
