Printalyzer UV/VIS Densitometer

$349.00 $399.00
Out of Stock

A compact budget-friendly densitometer for anyone who wants to take a more analytical approach to testing black and white photographic film or paper, as well as alternative process materials. It can measure across the full range of densities common for the testing of black and white photographic materials, in visual reflection mode, and in both visual and ultraviolet transmission modes.

Package Includes:

  • Printalyzer UV/VIS Densitometer

  • Quick Start User Guide

  • USB-C to USB-A Cable

  • Calibrated Reflection Step Tablet

  • Calibrated UV/VIS Transmission Step Wedge

Product Features:

  • Reflection and Transmission Density Measurement for B&W film and paper

    • Visual Reflection range: 0 - 2.5D

    • Visual Transmission range: 0 - 4.5D

    • UV Transmission range: 0 - 4.0D

  • Visual measurement spectrum in the Photopic range using a 3000K light source, similar to ISO 5-3:2009 Visual Density

  • UV measurement spectrum centered around 385nm

  • Transmission light diffused through flashed opal glass, for improved measurement accuracy across a range of materials

  • Measuring area of approximately 3mm with a focusing lens, for a more precise measurement spot

  • Temperature compensation for more accurate measurements across a range of environmental conditions, especially in the UV range

  • Measurement reach of approximately 7cm, sufficient to cover a variety of film/paper sizes up to 5x7” and most test strips

  • Includes calibration reference materials for both reflection and transmission in all measurement modes

  • USB interface for power, measurement logging, and desktop control

  • Compact device with dimensions of 11cm L x 4.5cm W x 3.5cm H, weighing only 162g

  • Upgradable firmware

  • Open source hardware and software

The goal for measurement accuracy is ±0.02D under most circumstances, and ±0.01D under freshly calibrated lab conditions. However, it is difficult to adequately test visual reflection density beyond 2.00D, visual transmission density beyond 4.00D, and UV transmission density beyond 3.00D due to the availability of reference materials.
