The 3nh PS528 is a versatile spectrodensitometer specifically engineered as a quality control workhorse for ink printing, film processing, textile dyeing, and plastics electronics industries. Featuring a 45/0 circumferential uniform illumination optical system combined with high-precision nanometer spectrophotometric components, it accurately measures key printing metrics such as optical density, dot area, dot gain (TVI), and trapping efficiency, facilitating the transition from experience-based judgment to digital data management. The core advantage of the PS528 lies in its 'Multi-Purpose Versatility, Precision, and High Efficiency': equipped with 5 measuring apertures to cover full-scenario requirements from large color blocks to fine graphics, rapid 1-second measurement drastically enhances testing throughput, while 0.01D density repeatability ensures stable and dependable results. Delivering professional and accurate data for rapid on-site spot-checking, PS528 is an indispensable asset for cost reduction, efficiency enhancement, and quality optimization.


1. Professional-Grade Density Measurement Across Printing Workflows

Precisely measures critical indices including density value, density difference, dot area, dot gain, trapping, printing characteristics, print contrast, tone error and grayness, and printing plates. Supports color spaces like L*a*b and Lc*h* to satisfy comprehensive quality control needs from incoming ink verification to plate-making and pressroom management.

FAQs About PS528 Spectrodensitometer

Lightbooths come in different dimensions. A typical tabletop model occupies 0.5-1 m². The bigger industrial variants take up 2-4 m².  If you have special requirements, we can customize the product according to your size


Gloss is the general reflectivity of a surface, which encompasses a variety of degrees. One particular type of finish is high gloss, which has the maximum shine and reflectance. It increases the richness but emphasizes flaws as compared to satin or matte.


Pick a haze meter that correlates with your materials, precision needs, and applicable testing protocols. For lab-level precision, a bench-top version is advisable; for a rapid field check, a portable haze meter is appropriate. International standards must be met at all times.


Haze Meters are utilized in production and quality assurance in the plastics, glass, films, and coatings industries, where transparency and example are essential.


The gloss meter is used to measure gloss at typical angles (typically 20°, 60°, or 85°). The instrument illuminates the material and measures the amount of light reflected and states the outcome in gloss units (GU), which is related to perceived brilliance.
