Thanks to the excellent image capture quality and the ingenious graphic calculations,
SpectroPlate can read precisely any screen size and screen technology: FM, AM or
Hybrid screen. The spectrally white illumination and dynamic color evaluation permits
reading all kinds of plate types and coated surfaces.
SpectroPlate lets you see things normally hidden to the human eye. It shows the
raster dots on a film or a printing plate in large magnification on the device display or
optionally on a computer screen. It lets you visually judge printing plates and discover
any soiling or exposure errors now that the structure of the raster dots is visible.
A specific strength is the image transfer of uncompressed high-resolution files to the
PC where they can be stored, edited or sent over the internet. Geometric sizes of
dots or lines can be retrieved in micrometer- or mils dimensions.
The supplied Windows software connects the device to a PC. Measured values and
transfer curves are displayed and stored. The display of comparisons to target values,
the data export to Microsoft Excel and the compatibility to RIP-applications are
additionally useful functions of SpectroPlate Connect. An exceptional feature is the
enlarged view of the mircoscopic images.
All devices are factory-calibrated to the official reference Fogra Measuring Bar FMB
resulting in high long-term absolute accuracy and an excellent inter-instrument agree-
ment. Additionally, time-consuming calibration procedures prior to measurements are
obsolete.
