Siemens Spectrodensitometer FD-7 - Manual (Page 3)

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.
With the new E* 94 and E 00 color difference equations as
well as a user index that allows users to freely set their own
evaluation equations, SpectraMagic
® NX can meet a wide
variety of user needs.
Measurement data can be displayed in list form or in objects
such as spectral graphs, color-difference graphs, etc. that the
user can freely lay out, and those objects can be copied and
pasted as is into other software such as Excel
® for easy data
control. In addition, printing screens can also be designed
using the same objects to create user-defined formats for
easy-to-read reports.
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.
• Data are stored in ISO format (ISO 12642-2), so they can be fed back to
profile creation software. Using Measurement Condition M1 or a user-
defined illumination light source (user illuminant) enables color reproduction
closer to visual evaluation.
Optional accessories
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 or a
user-defined illumination light source (user illuminant) to create user color profiles
that more closely match visual evaluation.
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 ClrChrt software
makes it easy to create a definition file for measuring the user-designed chart.

*1
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, providing
higher repeatability and reducing labor
compared to manual measurements.

World's lightest *4
• The main body weighs only about 350g, and even with the target
mask attached it's only about 430g, lighter than any previous
spectrodensitometer.
• This reduces the load on the user's arm during work, improving
efficiency when taking measurements over a long time.
*4 Display-equipped spectrodensitometer. As of December 1, 2012
Industry's first automatic wavelength
compensation function
• Wavelength compensation is performed during white calibration* without
requiring additional work.
• Until now, wavelength compensation could only be carried out as one part
of manufacturer servicing. This task is now performed whenever white
calibration
*3 is done, helping to maintain the high reliability of measurement
values until the next periodic servicing.
*3 Except when polarization filter is attached.
Worry-free after-sales service
• Worldwide service centers provide rapid support when needed.
• A comprehensive service network is in place to ensure that your instrument is always in top shape.
*1 Measurements with polarization filter attached cannot be performed.
