HOW TO MEASURE LINEARIZATION AND PROFILING DIAGRAMS WITH TECHKON SPECTRODENS

5. October 2023AllgemeinMeasuring devices, TechkonAlexander Bartsch

If linearization or profiling charts are to be measured with the scan function of the TECHKON SpectroDens, it may happen under difficult conditions that the first or last field of a scan row is read in with a different number of sub measurements. In extreme cases this can lead to inaccuracies in the chart measurements. Uneven movement of the device over the target can also cause problems in accurately capturing the measurement fields. As a result, the quality of linearizations or profiles generated from such measurements may be compromised.

To solve this problem, TECHKON has introduced two new parameters in the device software:

Colors deviate. That’s a fact all printers have to keep in mind when producing printed or digitally decorated products. However, making sure that your products come out as they should is not as hard as you might think. What you need is color management. And to be able to color manage, you need to do one thing: measure.

No longer supported devices: The X-Rite i1Pro

22. July 2021AllgemeinDrivers, Measuring devices, Version 21, X-RiteAlexander Bartsch

As described in the release notes for our current version, the X-Rite i1Pro is no longer supported.

Unfortunately, this leads to misunderstandings since the X-Rite i1Pro2 is also identified as i1Pro on the nameplate and by the imprint on the top. The device that is no longer supported is the older i1Pro, which has also not been supported by the manufacturer for quite some time. The more recent i1Pro2 is of course still supported.
