The DTP41 is an automated strip-reading spectrophotometer used with prepress color management and calibration applications.

• USB and serial connectivity; integrates with color management software

• Supported by all major color management software packages, making it completely versatile

• Optional UV filter and transmission base.

With the DTP41 strip-reading spectrophotometer, you get high-end versatility and accuracy without sacrificing speed. In fact, the DTP41 is one of the fastest color measurement instruments on the market, up to 10 times faster than and-held instruments or expensive robotic measurement devices.

The DTP41 measures an entire row from a printed test image in about 20 seconds.A single scan verifies the quality of your digital or conventional proofing system.Two or three scans usually completes a typical color calibration. And five or six scans is often enough to create a full color management profile.

Designed For Years Of Reliable, User-Friendly Performance The DTP41 is packed with plenty of features.We also made it extremely easy to use. The instrument arrives ready to go, as there are no menus or difficult set-up procedures. The small footprint fits well in prepress and desktop environments. Plus, our rugged design absorbs those inevitable bumps and jolts without incident.

The true-tracking drive system aboard the DTP41 accepts a variety of media from lightweight copy papers to polyester printing plates. And the entire instrument is easy to troubleshoot and service for years of hassle-free operation.

The DTP41 already supports many of today’s color management systems. Just plug it into nearly any third-party color management application for colorimetric calibration, profile creation, profile tweaking, and color testing. And it is fully compatible with all major computing platforms, including Macintosh,® Windows, Sun,® and SGI.® With connectivity options including serial or USB, the DTP41 Series II has unbeatable connectivity. Support continues to grow as compatibility is currently being written into even more color software applications.
