Digital BW, The Print

Tom,

I use the X-Rite Color Digital Swatchbook, model  DTP22.  It gets the job
done.  It is limited to 0.01 density "resolution," but that's fine with me.
(It limits the amount system and inkset variations drive me crazy.)  I
talked to an X-Rite sales representative, and getting more
sensitivity/resolution gets really expensive.

I find I use the color measuring capabilities of the X-Rite a lot.  I would
not limit yourself to just B&W density capabilities.

Paul

  Subject: [Digital BW] Densitometer- For Paul, Austin, any others....


  Hi-

  I've been making some "low ball" bids for a densiotmeter on
  ebay...not enough to win (or if I do it will be a real bargain).

  What x-rite models do you think are best knowing I will be using it
  to just judge density on BW not really doing anything in color?

  I'm also bidding on some much cheaper Macbeth ones...

  Any thoughts or advice appreciated.

  cheers,

  Tom O'Connell
