3nh TS1050 Spectrodensitometer (Professional Edition) is a high-precision quality control device designed for medium-to-large printing enterprises, professional quality inspection agencies, and packaging groups. Utilizing planar grating spectrophotometric technology and equipped with a dual-array 40-group silicon photodiode sensor, it achieves a density repeatability of 0.001D and supports a density scanning function to comprehensively analyze print quality distribution. With guaranteed first-grade metrology certification, the TS1050 ensures measurement data authority and traceability, catering to diverse, high-precision, and large-data volume testing needs. The core advantage of TS1050 lies in being ‘Professional, Comprehensive, Precise, and Efficient’: featuring 5 interchangeable measurement apertures to cover full-scenario requirements from large color blocks to fine graphics, an inter-instrument agreement of 0.20 to ensure data consistency across multiple machines, and a massive 20,000-record storage capacity for batch inspection data traceability. Whether for daily production quality control, multi-machine unified management, or large-batch finished product inspection, TS1050 delivers a professional, accurate, and efficient measurement solution.


1. Exceptional Repeatability for Rock-Solid Data

Powered by planar grating spectrophotometry and a dual-array 40-group silicon photodiode sensor:

  • Density Repeatability: ≤ 0.001D

  • Colorimetric Repeatability: ΔE*ab ≤ 0.02 (Based on average of 30 white plate measurements, except M3)

  • Inter-Instrument Agreement: ΔE*ab ≤ 0.20 For enterprises operating multiple devices across various workshops, it ensures highly consistent measurement data across machines, unifying quality control standards while lowering cross-department communication costs and quality risks.

FAQs About TS1050  Spectrodensitometer

The LAB color space defines colors in a three-dimensional model: Lightness (L), red–green axis (a), and blue–yellow axis (b). It's a globally recognized standard supported by most modern color measuring devices. CIELAB is a standardized, device-independent system designed to map all visible colors that the human eye can perceive.

The LAB color space uses three values to define any color, each representing a specific dimension:


L (Lightness): Ranges from 0 to 100. It measures the brightness of the color, where 0 is pure black and 100 is pure white.
A (Red-Green Axis): Ranges from approximately -128 to +127. Positive values represent red tones, while negative values represent green tones.
B (Yellow-Blue Axis): Ranges from approximately -128 to +127. Positive values represent yellow tones, while negative values represent blue tones.


The gloss of the paint is defined by the measurement of light reflection at the surface of the paint with the help of a gloss meter. The angle and quantity of light reflected determine the level of gloss, with smoother and reflective surfaces having a higher level of gloss.

  1. Turn on the hazemeter and check if the instrument’s display screen shows normally and if the buttons are responsive.

  2. Verify that the hazemeter’s battery power is sufficient. Replace the battery or connect an external power supply if necessary.

  3.  Confirm that the instrument’s measurement mode is set correctly. Select the appropriate measurement unit and range based on actual needs.

a. When the colorimeter is disconnected to the PC, "Connection Timeout" will occur. At the moment, you have to check whether the USB cable is well connected the colorimeter and the PC. Then you can re-plug the USB to try out.

b. After ensuring the colorimeter is connected to the PC with USB cable, turn on the colorimeter and enter the main menu. Select "Comm" and press "Enter" key to start communication.

c. Turn off CQCS3 software, and reopen it.
