What is a density meter? How to calibrate?

Abstract: 密度计是一种用于测量 CMYK 值的光密度的设备。为了确保测量的准确性,密度计需在使用条件下进行校准。校准过程类似于分光光度计和色度计,通过将设备的测量值与认证参考标准进行对比来完成。校准证书记录了每个 CMYK 值的校正结果及其不确定性。

Density meter

A densitometer is a device used for the optical density measurement of CMYK values.

Densitometers measure under different conditions, therefore, as with the previously described devices, it is recommended to calibrate the device under the conditions of use.

Calibration and Calibration Certificates

The basics of calibrating a densitometer are basically the same as Spectrophotometer s and Colorimeters. It is based on comparing the values measured by the device with the certified values of the reference standards used in the calibration.

Calibration certificates include the corrections obtained for each CMYK value and their extended uncertainties.

The following example shows how the measurements made on the device should be corrected.
