Device adjustment
Should DENS show deviations to other devices, first check, if the instrument settings
are correct. Especially the settings of the Density adjustment (SLOPE) influence the
measurement result.
Setting of the Density adjustment (SLOPE)
With the SLOPE correction values it is possible to adjust DENS to the density values
of other devices.
CHAPTER 1
– How to use TECHKON DENS
1. Press the CAL button for 5 seconds. The de-
vice switches into the Slope calibration mode.
2. Place the measurement head on the white
patch of the reference and press the CAL but-
ton.
3. Place the measurement head on the Cyan
solid density patch of the reference and press
the DENS button.
4. The desired value can be set respectively
by pressing the DENS button = + or MODE
button = - and be stored by pressing the CAL
button.
Only values from 0.80 to 2.50 are selectable.
The increment is 0.01. When exceeding 2.50
you get to the lowest possible value of 0.80.
When undercutting 0.80 you get to the high-
est possible value of 2.50.
5. Repeat the steps 2 to 4 analog for the Ma-
genta, Yellow and Black solid density patch.
When all colors are captured the device cal-
culates the SLOPE correction values, quits the
SLOPE calibration and switches automatically
into the D-mode.
