500 Series Spectrodensitometer
The X-Rite 500 Series Spectrodensitometer is the most versatile and revolutionary hand-held color measurement instrument available today. The instrument relies on an integrated spectrophotometric engine, allowing accurate and precise measurements. The instrument also incorporates intuitive keys and a high-contrast graphic display.
Features
- Automatic Shut-Off
To increase battery life, the instrument automatically turns itself off if it is not used within a user-defined time—between 10 and 120 seconds. The instrument turns back on whenever a key is pressed, measurement taken, or when the adapter is plugged in.
- Patch Smarts Recognition
Several functions within the instrument incorporate a feature that automatically recognizes patch types. This "patch smarts" feature attempts to characterize a paper, solid, tint, or overprint patch. After a measurement, the highlight cursor in the measurement list automatically moves to the predicted measurement item, regardless of its previous placement. This feature can be disabled in the instrument configuration menu.
- Drag-n-Drop Override
Several functions incorporate a "drag-n-drop" feature, allowing you to reassign measured data to a different measurement item. To do this, simply move the highlight cursor with the tab keys to the appropriate measurement item while holding the instrument down to the shoe. For example, if a tint measurement is taken and the data appears as a solid, you could override the result by keeping the instrument down and tabbing the highlight cursor to the tint measurement item.
- Hi-Fi Color Capability
The instrument does more than just measure the density of special colors—such as HiFi Color™. Instead, it captures their unique spectral identities and transforms them into useful color information.
