The 508 Is Ideal For Newspapers
X-Rite includes specialized 4-color newsprint functions within the 508 to ensure color
accuracy and consistency across press runs and over time. These include newsprint-
specific density functions and gray balance. The 508 achieves precise color quality
control with newsprint and inserts by simultaneously measuring the densities of cyan,
magenta, and yellow in a special News mode. Simply measure a three-color gray bar,
masthead, banner, weather map, or another color element. The 508 instantly informs you
whether any of the colors need adjusting.
