Offering an affordable solution for monitoring 4-colour printing, X-Rite’s 508 Spectrodensitometer accurately measures density, dot area and dot gain in a single instrument. Ideal for basic commercial, packaging and newspaper printing operations, the 508 is suitable for measuring GATF proofing bars, Quark Xpress colour bars, Ugra/Fogra colour control elements and other targets used during the pre-press process. Less than eight inches long and weighing little over a kilo, the 508 can go wherever it’s needed on the pressroom floor
The X-Rite 508 also features specialised 4-color newsprint functions, ensuring colour accuracy and consistency across press runs and over time. Simply measure a three-color grey bar, masthead, banner, weather map or other colour element – the 508 instantly informs you if any of the colours need adjusting.
