Calibrating the SpectroEye to a Density Reference
Question: Is it possible to calibrate my SpectroEye for an accurate density measurement?
Answer: A spectrophotometer is a very precise measuring device. It is not usual practice to calibrate these instruments to a densitometric reference. That said, the SpectroEye does have a calibration mode that will allow the instrument to be matched to another device; say for "house standards". To activate the densitometric calibration feature proceed as follows:
-
Select “Settings > User defined > Function access > Toolbar buttons > Buttons.”
-
Activate “Density calibration” and click “Accept data.”
-
Go back to the main menu and select “Single measurement.”
-
Select the measurement function “Density.” You will see the “Density calibration” button in the toolbar. Select this tool, and you can check the calibration or create a new one.
Again realize that this is a special case. Generally speaking the standard colorimetric calibration of the SpectroEye will result in a more precise (technically accurate) calibration.
