Color
The world’s first measuring instrument that corresponds
to Measurement Condition M1 of ISO 13655
• Konica Minolta’s original VFS (Virtual Fluorescence Standard) technology enables L*a*b* measurements
corresponding to ISO 13655 Measurement Condition M1.
• The FD-7 and FD-5 can take measurements corresponding to all four of the ISO 13655 Measurement
Conditions. Measurements corresponding to M1 are enabled by Konica Minolta’s original VFS (Virtual
Fluorescence Standard) technology, and measurements corresponding to M0 (CIE Illuminant A) and M2
(illumination with UV-cut filter) can also be taken. In addition, by attaching the included polarization filter,
measurements corresponding to M3 (M2+ polarization filter) can be taken.
Scan measurements can be performed.
• Manual scan measurements can be performed when the instrument is
connected to a PC.
• With optional software basICColor catch all, the colorimetric values,
density values, and spectral reflectance values of various test charts
(MediaWedge ECI2002, IT8.7/3, etc.) can be measured in a single
operation.
Spectral output
• When the FD-7 is connected to a computer, the spectral reflectance
data (380 to 730 nm) of samples under various illuminants and
the spectral irradiance data (360 to 730 nm) of the environmental
lighting can be measured and output to a computer. This makes
the FD-7 ideal for research and development applications.
(FD-7 only)
(FD-7 only)
Illumination
Illumination environment light
can be measured.
• The illuminance and color temperature in a color
viewing cabinet or the actual ambient light under which
printed materials will be evaluated can be measured.
Measured environmental light can be set as
illumination light source (user illuminant)
• In the past, when measuring printed materials containing fluorescent whitening agents
(FWA), large differences between measured values and visual evaluation sometimes
occurred. But with the FD-7, colorimetric values can be calculated under the measured
environmental light source, providing results which more closely correspond to on-site
visual evaluation. This ensures customers receive the colors they want and eliminates time
and labor lost resolving customer complaints due to the effects of FWA or metamerism.

By measuring the environmental light source with
an FD-7 master body and then transferring
the user illuminant data to multiple FD-5 or FD-7
working bodies, color control using the same
illumination light source at multiple locations can
be achieved. In addition, theautomatic wavelength

• Wavelength compensation is performed during white calibration* without
requiring additional work.
• Until now, wavelength compensation could only be carried out as one part

of manufacturer servicing. This task is now performed whenever white
calibration*3 is done, helping to maintain the high reliability of measurement
values until the next periodic servicing.

• The main body weighs only about 350g, and even with the target
mask attached it's only about 430g, lighter than any previous
spectrodensitometer.
•
This reduces the load on the user's arm during work, improving
efficiency when taking measurements over a long time.

Stage ColorScoutA3+
The ColorScoutA3+ enables accurate, highefficiency measurements of color charts
with the Spectrodensitometer FD-7 and
FD-5. It enables automatic positioning and
measurement of the instrument, providing
higher repeatability and reducing labor
compared to manual measurements.
XY automatic color-measurement stage.
Table available with either white surface or black
surface.
Using the ColorScoutA3+ with the FD-7 or FD-5 makes it easier to measure
colorimetric data of color charts under ISO 13655 Measurement Condition M1 or a
user-defined illumination light source (user illuminant) to create user color profiles
that more closely match visual evaluation.
Maximum measurable chart size of 320 x 460 mm improves measurement efficiency
by allowing even large color charts to be measured in a single procedure without the
need to cut up or tile the charts.
Measurement of user-designed charts is also possible. The included ClrChrt software
makes it easy to create a definition file for measuring the user-designed chart.

Enables color reproduction closer to visual evaluation with simple operation.
• With basICColor catch all, commonly used templates and jobs are already
included, so there is no need for measurement preparations such as setting
target values, tolerances, etc.
• When the software is started, just select the required measurement
conditions in the Job Management screen. You can then connect
immediately to the Spectrodensitometer FD-7 or FD-5, and PDF reports
can be created and output automatically.
• Data are stored in ISO format (ISO 12642-2), so they can be fed back to
profile creation software. Using Measurement Condition M1 or a userdefined illumination light source (user illuminant) enables color reproduction
closer to visual evaluation.
