The X-Rite 400 B/W Reflection Densitometer is designed to meet
the quality control needs of the general graphic arts,
phototypesetting, and newspaper industries. This completely
portable instrument features different measurement modes for
quickly measuring ink density, density difference, dot area, and dot
gain. Measurements are taken with simple hand-held operation, and
measurement data is clearly read on the interactive display. The
three control buttons make measurement mode selection easy.
FEATURES
The X-Rite 400 features several state-of-the-art technologies that
place the instrument a step above competitive instruments in terms
of accuracy, speed, and simplicity:
QuickCal™ One-Step Calibration
The 400’s Quick-Cal feature makes calibration fast and easy. You
simply select the “Q-Cal” mode on the instrument, then measure the
white patch on the supplied calibration target card. You can also get
complete agreement with other densitometers using the three-color
response calibration.
DEN (Density)
The DEN function allows you to take absolute density and density
difference measurements.
