The Ultimate Solution for Process and Special Colors
A high performance spectral engine gives X-Rite’s 528 Spectrodensitometer the ability to measure both density and colorimetry functions. Since spectrophotometry is the newest and most precise color control technology available today, the result is an accurate, versatile, efficient instrument capable of keeping both process and special colors on target.
Advanced Color Control in the Pressroom
Why juggle several instruments when just one fulfills all your pressroom proofing and color quality control needs? The 528 combines the capabilities of a high-end densitometer and a high-end colorimeter into a single unit. You can use the same instrument anywhere in your production process.
On 4-color jobs, the 528 delivers familiar functions like density, dot gain, trap, print contrast, gray balance, hue error, and more. Switch on-the-fly to colorimetry functions like L*a*b*, Yxy, and L*C*h° and more when you need quality control for pastels, Hi-Fi, PANTONE® and other special colors.
Special Color Compare and Match Functions
The 528 has color compare and match functions unique to X-Rite instruments. Measure up to 24 references and select the type of comparison for each. The 528 automatically compares a sample reading to the closest reference and displays the results. With the Match function, you can make a measurement and find the closest color match in your own reference library or one purchased from X-Rite. In addition to a color name or color value, a formula for the color may also be displayed.
Used in conjunction with ColorMail® Express and a PANTONE® Digital Library, you can quickly and easily identify colors from existing jobs, as well as make sure that the colors you are printing match the requirement. Up to 1400 total references may be stored in the instrument database at one time.
Upgrade your 528 to a 530 and you’ll get the ColorMail Express software and PANTONE Digital Color Library, too!
Should I upgrade to a 530?
X-Rite 530: Will do everything the 528 does, but it also allows you to connect to a computer and interface with color quality control software. This is what we use when consulting and what we recommend for anyone, in any pressroom, big or small. If you are not going to use the software, however, stick with the 528.
