X-Rite 528 SpectroDensitometer 528SX/LP Merkblatt

A high performance spectral engine gives X-Rite’s 528 Spectrodensitometer the ability to
measure both density and colorimetry functions. Since spectrophotometry is the newest
and most precise color control technology available today, the result is an accurate, 
versatile, efficient instrument capable of keeping both process and special colors on target.

Why juggle several instruments when just one fulfills all your pressroom proofing and color
quality control needs? The 528 combines the capabilities of a high-end densitometer and
a high-end colorimeter into a single unit. You can use the same instrument anywhere in
your production process. On 4-color jobs, the 528 delivers familiar functions like density,
dot gain, trap, print contrast, gray balance, hue error, and more. Switch on-the-fly to 
colorimetry functions like L*a*b,* Yxy, and L*C*h° and more when you need quality control
for pastels, Hi-Fi, PANTONE,® and other special colors.

The 528 has color compare and match functions unique to X-Rite instruments. Measure
up to 24 references and select the type of comparison for each. The 528 automatically
compares a sample reading to the closest reference and displays the results. With the
Match function, you can make a measurement and find the closest color match in your
own reference library or one purchased from X-Rite. In addition to a color name or color
value, a formula for the color may also be displayed. Used in conjunction with ColorMail®
Express and a PANTONE® Digital Library, you can quickly and easily identify colors from
existing jobs, as well as make sure that the colors you are printing match the requirement.
Up to 1400 total references may be stored in the instrument database at one time.

For printers who print special colors and process color, the 528 is the basic model of
choice. It has a full selection of densitometry capability plus several essential color features.

• Evaluate whether your special colors, densities, dot gains and other critical measures
meet pre-established targets 

• What PANTONE® color is that? Match feature looks up the closest color in a swatch
book you specify 

• Get pre-set ink formulas for stored color libraries, or create and download your own using
the included ColorMail Express software (for Windows) 

• Establish or verify color management profiles using the color features; supported by
many CMS packages 

• Only X-Rite lets you select a measurement aperture - microspot 1.6 x 3.2 mm, small 2.0
mm, medium 3.4 mm or large 6.0 mm
