ACCESSORIES SPECTRODENSITOMETER FD-5BT

STATE-OF-THE-ART MEASURING
OF COLOUR AND DENSITY
Equipped with latest optical technology, the FD-5BT
Spectrodensitometer not only offers high accuracy but also
outstanding M1 (D50) measurement conditions, providing

results that come close to human visual impression for thequality you need and reducing errors in the colour workflow
to minimise misprints.

Fully in line with ISO 13655 measurement
conditions (2009)
Thanks to Konica Minolta’s original VFS (Virtual FluorescenceStandard), the spectrophotometer delivers measurementsthat correspond to D50. Konica Minolta’s VFS makes the FD
the only instrument that can measure fluorescent whiteneradditives for any chosen illuminant, including self-measuredilluminants.

Automatic wavelength compensation
With spectrophotometers, white calibration is performed
as a part of everyday work; this calibrates the spectralreflectance coefficients (vertical axis). The FD-5BT isequipped with the industry’s first “Automatic WavelengthCompensation” function, which automatically calibrates inwavelength direction (horizontal axis) when white calibration is performed on a regular basis, greatly improving thereliability of measurement values.

Perfect tool for the printer
The FD-5BT provides ideal support for printers in theirdaily business. This lightweight instrument makes process
and quality control much easier and more reliable. Its
TARGETMATCH function, including backing conversion,
helps printers achieve the correct colour on their production
media. ISOCHECK enables fast quality control without
additional software, while DeltaBrightness provides
explicit information about the amount of optical brightener,
speeding up the control of production media.
