Spectrophotometer
Color ManagementDefinition
A precision instrument that measures the spectral properties of color. Some DesignJet Z-Series printers include a built-in spectrophotometer for automatic color calibration.
In-Depth Explanation
The built-in spectrophotometer in Z-Series printers (like the Z9+) can automatically measure printed color patches and create custom ICC profiles for any media type. This eliminates the need for expensive external measurement devices and ensures consistent color accuracy. The spectrophotometer can also be used for spot color verification and G7 calibration compliance.
