FD-5/FD-7 SPECTRODENSITOMETER

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the Konica Minolta FD-7 and FD-5 spectrodensitometers, state-of-the-art instruments designed for measuring color, density, and light in printing and packaging applications. These devices incorporate advanced technology to account for the impact of fluorescent whitening agents in papers, which is influenced by the amount of UV light in the viewing environment.
Specifications and Features
The FD-7 and FD-5 conform to ISO 13655:2009 measurement mode M1, allowing accurate measurements for any light source using the patented Virtual Fluorescent Standard (VFS) technology. They provide a close correlation between visual evaluation and measurement, enhancing color matching capabilities. The instruments are lightweight, with the main body weighing just 430g, facilitating easy and fatigue-free use.
Measurement Capabilities
The spectrodensitometers offer standalone, scanning, and light measurement functionalities. They can evaluate wavelength accuracy and compensate for shifts during white calibration, ensuring precise and stable measurements. The devices support various color spaces and color-difference equations, and they are compatible with ISO standards for quality control.
Automation and Compatibility
The ColorScoutA+ system automates measurements for large format printers, enabling objective calibration for challenging substrates like aluminum and textiles. The FD-7 and FD-5 share hardware for consistency across prepress, ink color matching, and pressroom applications. They support data management through the FD-s1w software, allowing users to save and upload color standards for quality control.
Technical Specifications
The instruments feature a concave grating spectral separation device, a wavelength range of 380 to 730 nm, and a measurement area of Ø 3.5 mm. They offer a measurement range of 0.0D to 2.5D for density and 0 to 150% for reflectance. The devices are equipped with an LED light source and provide short-term repeatability and inter-instrument agreement within specified limits.
Accessories and Software
Standard accessories include a white calibration plate, target mask, and various adapters. Optional accessories and software like Spectra Magic® NX and basICColor enhance the functionality of the spectrodensitometers.
Safety and Contact Information
The document emphasizes safety precautions and provides contact information for Konica Minolta offices worldwide, ensuring users can access support and services as needed.

We take all possible steps to ensure the accuracy of your instrument With conventional Instruments it is necessary to regularly correct for a wavelength shift. In the past, this could only be corrected by the manufacturer. The FD-5 and FD-7 perform an evaluation of wavelength accuracy and if necessary a shift compensation with every white calibration. As the instrument also corrects for temperature drifts one can be assured of precise and stable measurements between annual preventive maintenance checks – Testimony to Konica Minolta’s superior technology and commitment to innovation. Standalone...
