X-Rite 408 reflection densitometer for sale
2008-11-07 by Piet Weber
Hi, I have a X-rite 408 color densitometer for sale for european users (230V power supply). For the moment I'll sell it exlusively on the QTR site, as I have used this machine to create QTR profiles succesfully (for color correction in tinted (warm, cold, neutal, etc) curves and the necesary calibration). Check internet for specs. I will be happy to pass it on for 100 euro's ex. shipment costs. The sale consists of the densitometer, original protective bag, manual, power supply (230V), one ceramic calibration plaque (old), one 1994 color calibration strip. The latter is quite accurate, values that are wrong compared to a recently bought strip are corrected with a pen by myself. New calibration strips are still available. I have seen them on eBay recently. This densitometer uses Ni-Cad batteries for operation without power supply. While connected to the supply, the batteries should charge. I have always used it with old batteries that never really charged. That's why I can tell you that when dead batteries are used and no power supply is connected the calibration setting are lost. Calibrating will take less than a minute, so no problem. Use fresh ni-cad batteries and this problem is over. So you can use this densitometer without any problem, it is accurate enough for profiling QTR, but when you are picky, buy a new calibration card, as the old one is, whell old. email me if you are interested in buying, I do not check this forum for replies. I'll send you pictures if you like. Payment through PayPal is possible, as is IBAN bank transaction. Cheers
