3nh TS1060 Spectrodensitometer (Advanced Edition) is the flagship model of the spectrodensitometer series, custom-engineered for high-end printing enterprises, precision electronics manufacturers, research institutes, and quality inspection agencies. Utilizing planar grating spectrophotometric technology and equipped with a dual-array 40-group silicon photodiode sensor, it achieves a density repeatability of 0.001D, supports density scanning, and guarantees First-Grade Metrology Compliance. The TS1060 stands out for its 'Flagship Precision and Ultimate Performance': inter-instrument agreement is optimized to within ΔE*ab 0.18 (reaching industry-leading standards to ensure high data consistency across multiple devices and production plants), 7 measurement apertures provide full-scenario coverage from standard to extreme testing requirements, and 20,000-record storage paired with professional software enables comprehensive data management and quality traceability. Whether for research-grade precision measurement or authoritative testing, TS1060 is the ultimate choice for users demanding perfection in quality.


1. Seven Interchangeable Apertures for Ultimate Full-Scenario Coverage

Equipped with 7 measurement apertures: Φ11mm, Φ10mm, Φ6mm, Φ5mm, Φ3mm, Φ2mm, and Φ1.5mm. The ultra-small 1.5mm aperture accurately measures micro-text, fine graphics, and delicate electronic components. A single device handles everything from micro-areas to large color patches without requiring multiple instrument purchases, significantly lowering capital investment and management complexity.

Seven Interchangeable Apertures


2. Superior Repeatability & Inter-Instrument Agreement for Rock-Solid Reliability

Achieves density repeatability ≤ 0.001D and colorimetric repeatability ΔE*ab ≤ 0.02 (30-measurement white plate average at 5s intervals after the instrument is preheated and calibrated, except M3). Inter-instrument agreement is controlled within ΔE*ab ≤ 0.18 (average across 14 BCRA Series II color tiles, except M3). For group enterprises operating across multiple factories, it guarantees seamless measurement consistency across devices, workshops, and plants. For inspection institutions, it ensures test reports carry equal authority and comparability.

Rock-Solid Reliability

FAQs About TS1060  Spectrodensitometer

The ΔE (Delta E) formula of the CIELAB color space is usually used to measure color difference. The difference is measured in a colorimeter or spectrophotometer to gauge the level of perceptibility of the difference between two samples in terms of L*a*b*.


In a Pantone light box, the tubes last around 2000 to 3000 hours, after which the brightness and color should be assessed for replacement.
