DS526 Handheld CMYK Densitometer for Printing and Packaging

The DS526 Handheld CMYK Densitometer is a highly cost-effective color management tool designed for the printing and packaging industries. It helps you tackle color quantization for CMYK and spot colors, delivering quantitative guidance to press operators for faster, more consistent results. With its compact handheld form, you can measure on the fly and keep color control tight across jobs.

Designed for stability and accuracy, the DS526 features a horizontal measurement design with a low center of gravity and an easy-to-use observation window. This setup lets you verify the measurement position in real time, reducing position errors and ensuring reliable color data every time. It provides printing-specific indicators for quick color adjustments, including color density, dot area, overprint rate, printing contrast, hue error, and grayscale measurements.

Engineered for precision, the DS526 leverages ultra-high repeatability with dE*ab ≤ 0.02, thanks to high-precision nanometer spectroscopic devices. It supports five apertures (Φ11mm, Φ10mm, Φ6mm, Φ5mm, Φ3mm) to suit a variety of sample sizes and testing conditions. With more than 30 measurement parameters and nearly 40 evaluation light sources (including D50, D55, D65 and others), it covers spectral reflectance, CIE-Lab, and CIE-LCh metrics, along with whiteness, yellowness, and more, giving you comprehensive color insight for every job.

The DS526 connects to modern workflows through mobile apps and PC software. It supports WeChat applet, Android, Apple, and Hongmeng, enabling color data transmission directly over mobile devices. You can search for close matches among color cards, build a personal color library for printing, coatings, and textiles, and upload libraries to the cloud for multi-device sharing. Enterprise teams can manage their libraries and color formulas in the cloud and share resources with colleagues via invitation codes. The system is complemented by the powerful PC-side ColorExpert color management software for advanced workflows.
