    Default Density standard

    HI to All,

    I don’t know how many times this topic has discussed on this forum. So I put new thread.
    I used densitometer in that I found different reading on different filter.
    I am bit confuse which density standard/filter should I follow.
    I found some information on net in this they specified standards are use as per geographical location. Like ISO E use for Europe.

    I want to know what is difference in ANSI E/ T/ I and DIN/DIN NB standards?

    What is reason they divide as per geographical location? Is this related to there RAW material?

    Status T / ANSI T: wide band color reflection densitometer response, used mainly in United States

    Status E / DIN: wide band color reflection densitometer response, used mainly in Europe, main difference to Status T: higher values for yellow

    Status I / SPI, DIN NB: narrow band densitometer responses, rarely used

    The main responses are Status E (polarized) and Status T (unpolarized).
    Related standards are: ANSI PH2.18, DIN 16536

    AFAIK the geographic difference is due to different philosophy not raw materials.

    best, gordo

    Dear Gordo

    This explains a lot

    I have a Techkon SpectroDens device and I can choose out of these possibilities:
    - DIN 16536
    - DIN 16536 NB
    - ISO/ANSI I
    - ISO/ANSI T
    - ISO E

    The software explains about the European and the American standards.
    But what is the difference between ISO E en DIN 16536.

    I get the same measuring results when using them.


    Thanks in advance.

    Also Note that Status-T (INCLUDES PAPER) - MANY OF THE GRETAG INSTRUMENT'S SUBTRACT PAPER FROM THEIR READINGS.
