The equipment automatically measures grey balance and takes a measurement on the density, dot gain on shadow, mid-tone and highlight patches. It also requires no programming. UK distributors for the Vipdens C5 will be TSS Technology.

We believe it is necessary to add a solution to our range of densitometers that makes the measurement of process colours as simple and convenient as possible, said Viptronic worldwide sales and marketing manager Michael Romanowsky.

The mid-level C5 makes up part of a range which includes the Vipdens C3 and C9. Viptronic is part of the Gretag Macbeth Group.
