Features

  • Automatic measurements of all kinds of charts

Using the ColorScout A3+ with the FD-7 or FD-5 makes it easier to measure colorimetric data from colour charts under ISO 13655 Measurement Condition M1. Measurement Condition M1 colorimetric data can be used to create colour profiles that more closely match visual evaluation in a D50 (ISO 3664:2009) environment.

Using Konica Minolta's patented VFS technology users get colorimetric data for several illuminants (including D50, UV-Cut and self-measured illuminants) within one single measurement.


The large maximum measurable chart size (320 x 460 mm) improves measurement efficiency measuring even large charts in a single automated procedure without the need to cut up or tile the charts.

Measurement of user-designed charts is also possible using FD Chartmaker.

 

  • Flexible

The ColorScout A3+ is equipped with both white and black backing. This ensures full compatibility to all kinds of measurement tasks in the graphic arts industry.
The maximum height of 20mm allows even the measurement of thick samples such as corrugated boards for the packaging industry.

 

  • Versatile

The ColorScout A3+ can also be used to automate Konica Minolta portable spectrophotometers (i.e. CM-26d series) to obtain measurements of structured as well as metallic substrates.
