Page 3: Safety Instruction
The iCFilm must not be exposed to strong electromagnetic fields. The iCFilm must only be operated at ambient temperatures between 10°C and 40°C with a relative air humidity of 20% to 80% (non-condensing). The iCFilm must only be stored at ambient temperatures between -20°C and 70°C with a relative air humidity of 5% to 90% (non-condensing). -

Page 9: Operation
The iCFilm comes with 3 interchangeable apertures with the diameters of Ø 1mm, Ø 2mm and Ø 3mm. The apertures can be storaged in the compartment on the bottom of the unit. Before you put the iCFilm in operation, you should select the desired aperture. Position the aperture in the let in snug fit intended for it on the baseplate. -
Page 10: Zeroing
• Press button A and simultaneously push the iCFilm down. • Do not release the measurement head or button A before "0.00","0.0" or "100.0" is displayed. Note! The last zero reference is stored in the memory of the iCFilm even if the unit has been switched off. Measure density •... -
Page 11: Measure Screen Percentages
• Press shortly button A. Place the solid patch on the measuring aperture. • Press the button B and simultaneously push the iCFilm down until "100.0" is displayed. • Press shortly button A. Place the required dot area patch on the measuring aperture. -
Page 12: Measure Soft Dot
With this function, non-printable dots (characterized by their low density, can not be reproduced on plate and press) can be eliminated. This can also be used to adapt the iCFilm to a dot reference with a true 50% dot area (i.e. UGRA Plate Control Wedge, RIT Microline Resolution Target, etc.). -
Page 13: Measure Negative Soft Dot
• Press shortly button A. Place the required negative dot % area patch on the measuring aperture. • Press the iCFilm down until the digital value e.g. 46.0 is displayed. • Use buttons A or B to adjust the iCFilm to the requested value e.g. 50.0. Press button A to reduce the displayed value. -
Page 14: Calibration
Attention: Check the expiration date on the calibration wedge. Correct measuring results can only be obtained with a valid calibration wedge. Protect the GretagMacbeth calibration wedge from heat and direct sunlight, chemicals, mechanical influences, etc. A defective calibration wedge may lead to a faulty calibration and therefore incorrect measuring results. -
Page 15: Calibration Procedure
• Press shortly button A. Place the density patch of the calibration wedge onto the measurement aperture. • Press down the iCFilm until the density value is displayed (e.g. 1.80). • Use buttons A or B to adjust the iCFilm to the requested value (e.g. 1.75): Press button A to decrease the displayed value Press button B to increase the displayed value •... -
Page 16: Adapt Icfilm To Other Measurement Devices
10 Adapt iCFilm to other measurement devices With a simple operation the slope factor of the iCFilm can be adjusted to match other densitometers. The calibration can be performed with reference either to a required density value or to a given slope factor (if known). The proceeding is the same as mentioned in section 9 for the calibration. -
Page 17: Calibration Procedure
The two densitometers are now compatible, and the new slope factor can be read on the display by briefly pressing buttons A and B simultaneously. The iCFilm is supplied with the slope set to a value of 1.000 and this value can be changed within a range of 750 to 1.250 to any required slope value. -
Page 18: Replacing The Batteries
An operation or calibration error on screening positions, causes the "EE.E" message to appear. The measurement procedure must be repeated from the beginning. Other errors: • No value will be displayed: The iCFilm was pushed down for a measurement for less than 0.5 seconds. GretagMacbeth ® iCFilm User Guide... -
