X-Rite Digital Swatchbook

Hi Sir,
I have been using the X-Rite Digital Swatchbook to measure the CMYK density. How do I measure the spot/pantone colour? Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
Can someone share some thoughts on my issue? Thanks a lot

What xrite densitometer are you using? DTP 22? CA 22?

it is called as "The Digital Swatchbook Spectrophotometer". There is no model indication printed on the device. However, I attached its catalog for easy reference. TQ

This is a very very old device ! What computer are you using this with (it has an RS 232 interface !) They shipped this 12 years ago, and the software that came with it for the Macintosh were running OS9 and Windows Windows 95/98/NT4 operating system.

from the specifications your output choices are ;

31-point spectral data
colorimetric data
density (Status T, I, A, and E)

If you are asking "how would I determine what the closes Pantone color is if all I have is this device and I measure a color swatch"

Well, the answer might be to somehow get the 31-point spectral data into LAB - then use

- then use LAB to Pantone spreadsheet

Hi Michaelejahn,
I am using a Windows 98 OS and the printed sheet is measured by C,M,Y and V value. There is nothing like density (Status T, I, A, and E). Please adv further. TQ
