Product Details

Konica MinoltaAutomatic scanning spectrophotometerFD-9 is good, not only can it measure standard color charts at high speed, but it can also bring higher precision and efficiency workflow in color management for printing industry users.

In order to improve production efficiency and product quality in the printing field, the focus of color management work is gradually shifting towards pursuing automation. For example, in the workflow of measuring and controlling colors digitally, it is necessary to minimize manual labor while ensuring speed and accuracy. In order to meet these demands, Konica Minolta has launched for the fields of graphic art and printingAutomatic scanning spectrophotometerFD-9。

FD-9 has multiple advantages: (1) it implements high-speed single point measurement, which not only has faster measurement speed but also ensures measurement accuracy; (2) the selected automatic paper feeder can perform continuous measurement, which can improve work efficiency and reduce manual labor. (3) The free chart formatting feature allows you to continue using charts in their original format, and even measure mixed charts directly without the need to reformat the chart.

Ultra fast spot color measurement

Processing a chart with 1500 color blocks takes approximately 4 minutes from inserting the color chart to outputting measurement data. In addition, the FD series can obtain results through a single measurement under various standard measurement conditions (M0, M1, and M2), so only one scan of the color chart is required.

To ensure accuracy, the instrument scans at a series of ultra high speeds: it accurately locates the FD-9 color sensor at each measurement point, then stops the scanning action, measures that point, and after completion, moves to the next measurement point.

Free Chart Format

The automatic color block detection function allows printed materials that mix color blocks with images or illustrations (such as example chart 2) to be measured without the need for a pre-set chart definition file, so existing charts can continue to be used. At the beginning of each measurement, FD-9 pre scans the chart through an image sensor, automatically detects measurement points, and then scans and measures the detected color blocks. The automatic detection function of color blocks also means that the markers used by traditional colorimeters to detect the position of color blocks are no longer needed.

In addition, a grid measurement can be used to measure a chart where the entire page is filled with color blocks, such as example chart 1, to distinguish which printed areas have uneven colors.

Example Chart 2

Automatic paper feeder (optional accessory)

The selected automatic paper feeder can simultaneously load up to 100 charts into the feeder and perform continuous measurements. Because there is no need to frequently place charts, the instrument can also perform color measurements at night, which can improve work efficiency and reduce manual labor.

Easy to read display screen

The LCD display screen enhances user operability and displays the working status of FD-9.

IP Connection

The LAN connection function enables multiple computers or other devices to share one FD-9.

Measurement tool software FD-S2w (standard accessory)

Regardless of whether a definition file is used or not, the color chart can be easily measured.
A color chart definition file can be created from the obtained image data to remove automatically detected color blocks from the test points, and measurement points can be added at any position in the image or pattern.
In addition to the standard measurement conditions of M0, M1, and M2, color can also be evaluated through user-defined light sources (measured by Konica Minolta spectrophotometer CL-500A or spectrophotometer FD-7).
Output measurement data in multiple formats.

Comprehensive service support

Used for inspection of BCRA standard 14 color palette (customized)

The color palette allows users to easily check whether the measured values of FD-9 are correct.

Konica Minolta has a vast service support network, including service centers located in the United States, Europe, and Asia, as well as factories in Japan. No matter where you are, we can provide fast service and calibration support for FD-9.
