An ideal instrument for the printing and digital-imaging industries.

Color

Uniquely corresponds to Measurement Condition M1 of ISO 13655

Density

World's lightest∗2

The world's first M1 type. Konica Minolta's original VFS (Virtual Fluorescence Standard) technology enables L∗a∗b∗ measurements corresponding to ISO 13655 Measurement Condition M1 (CIE Illuminant D50).

In addition, color measurements corresponding to ISO 13655 Measurement Conditions M0 (CIE Illuminant A) and M2 (illumination with UV-cut filter) can also be taken.

Industry's first automatic wavelength compensation function

• Wavelength compensation is performed during	reflectance	Wavelength-direction shift
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	Spectral

Long-life LED

lamp light

source

•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.

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.

Scan measurements can be performed.∗1

•Manual scan measurements can be per formed when the instrument is connected to a PC.

•With optional software basICColor catch all, the colorimetric values, density values, and spectral reflectance values of various test charts (MediaWedge ECI2002, IT8.7/3, etc.) can be measured in a single operation.

Wavelength

Simple operation

•Measurements of density, dot area ratio, dot gain, color, and illumination are simple.

•Instructions in the LCD screen guide operation, so anyone can take measurements easily.

Illumination

Illumination environment light can be measured.∗1

Enables color measurements that correspond more closely with visual evaluation.

When using conventional instruments to measure materials printed on substrates containing fluorescent whitening agents (FWA), large differences between the results of measurements and visual evaluation may occur. With the new FD-7/FD-5, measurement results correspond more closely to visual evaluation results, including the effects of any FWA in the paper.

Measurement intensity distribution

•The illuminance and color temperature in a color viewing cabinet or the actual ambient light under which printed materials will be evaluated can be measured.

•Colorimetric values under the measured light source (which more closely correspond to on-site visual evaluation) can be calculated. This ensures customers receive the colors they want and eliminates time and labor lost resolving customer complaints.

Since both spectral refl ectance data (380 to 730 nm) under various light sources and spectral irradiance data (360 to 730 nm) of environmental lighting can be measured and output to a computer, it makes the FD-7 ideal for
