OPTIONAL, FD-7 Extended Warranty & Calibration Plans
To avoid reducing efficiency and raising operation costs, we encourage investing in the protection of your equipment. Konica Minolta Sensing offers two different levels of Extended Warranty & Calibration Plans, each designed to fit your equipment needs and most importantly, fit your budget.
- Silver: Members receive an extended one-year equipment warranty and Preferred Member service time for yearly instrument calibration. Maintenance includes white tile certification, parts, labor, cleaning of optics and calibration of instrument. Accessories are not covered.
- Gold: Members receive an extended one-year equipment warranty and Preferred Member service time for yearly instrument calibration. In addition, a loaner instrument is provided during the scheduled service of the unit. Maintenance includes white tile certification, parts, labor, cleaning of optics and calibration of instrument. Accessories are not covered.
Color (L*a*b*)
- Uniquely corresponds to Measurement Condition M1 of ISO 13655.
- The world's first M1 type. Konica Minolta's original VFS (Virtual Fluorescence Standard) technology enables L*a*b* measurements corresponding to ISO 13655 Measurement Condition M1 (CIE Illuminant D50).
- In addition, color measurements corresponding to ISO 13655 Measurement Conditions M0 (CIE Illuminant A) and M2 (illumination with UV-cut filter) can also be taken.
- Industry's first automatic wavelength compensation function.
- Wavelength compensation is performed automatically at the time of white calibration, so there is no extra work required.
- Wavelength compensation, which could previously be performed only through manufacturer servicing, can now be performed daily, drastically increasing the reliability of measurement values.
- Scan measurements can be performed with FD-7.(only)
- Manual scan measurements can be performed when the instrument is connected to a PC.
- With optional software basICColor catch all, the colorimetric values, density values, and spectral reflectance values of various test charts (MediaWedge ECI2002, IT8.7/3, etc.) can be measured in a single operation.
- Enables color measurements that correspond more closely with visual evaluation.
- When using conventional instruments to measure materials printed on substrates containing fluorescent whitening agents (FWA), large differences between the results of measurements and visual evaluation may occur. With the new FD-7/FD-5, measurement results correspond more closely to visual evaluation results, including the effects of any FWA in the paper.
- Spectral Output.
- Since both spectral reflectance data (380 to 730 nm) under various light sources and spectral irradiance data (380 to 730 nm) of environmental lighting can be measured and output to a computer, it makes the FD-7 ideal for research and development applications.
Density (CMYK)
- World's lightest, as of 11/1/10
- The main body weighs only about 350g, and even with the target mask attached it's only about 430g, lighter than any previous spectrodensitometer.
- This reduces the load on the user's arm during work, improving efficiency when taking measurements over a long time.
- Worry-free after-sales service
- Worldwide service centers provide rapid support when needed.
- A comprehensive service network is in place to ensure that your instrument is always
in top shape.
- Simple Operation
- Measurements of density, dot area ratio, dot gain, color, and illumination are simple.
- Operation is performed by just following the instructions in the LCD screen, so anyone can take measurements easily.
Illumination: Lv, Tcp (Color Temperature)
- Illumination environment light can be measured.
- The illumination and color temperature of the illumination environment lighting in a color viewing booth or from other color evaluation equipment can be measured.
- Colorimetric values under the measured light source (colorimetric values more closely corresponding to on-site visual evaluation) can be calculated, resolving color complaints from customers and reducing time and labor in providing customers with the colors they want.
Printing Color Management software: basICColor catch all (Optional accessory):
- Screen can be easily customized with data list view, pass/fail screen, 3D graph, etc.
- Compatible with various test charts (MediaWedge, ECI2002, IT8.7/3, etc.).
- Can be used for process control of offset printing processes (ISO 12647-2).
