Thanks to the excellent image capture quality and the ingenious graphic calculations,
SpectroPlate can read precisely any screen size and screen technology: FM, AM
or Hybrid screen. The spectrally white illumination and dynamic color evaluation
permits reading all kinds of plate types and coated surfaces.
SpectroPlate lets you see things normally hidden to the human eye. It shows the
raster dots on a film or a printing plate in large magnification on the device display
or optionally on a computer screen. It lets you visually judge printing plates and
discover any soiling or exposure errors now that the structure of the raster dots is
visible.
A specific strength is the image transfer of uncompressed high-resolution files to
the PC where they can be stored, edited or sent over the internet. Geometric sizes
of dots or lines can be retrieved in micrometer- or mils dimensions.
The supplied Windows software connects the device to a PC. Measured values and
transfer curves are displayed and stored. The display of comparisons to target values,
the data export to Microsoft Excel™ and the compatibility to RIP applications
are additionally useful functions of SpectroConnect. An exceptional feature is the
enlarged view of the microscopic images.
All devices are factory-made calibrated to the official reference Fogra Measuring Bar
FMB resulting in high long-term absolute accuracy and an excellent inter-instrument
agreement. Additionally, time-consuming calibration procedures prior to measurements
are obsolete.
The technical specifications are listed on the last pages of this manual.
