1.1 D19C and D196 densitometer
Dear GretagMacbeth customer,
Congratulations! You have just purchased a D19C or D190 densitometer. With its user-friendly
operation, high measuring accuracy and rugged design, this unit is a truly unique instrument. You can
therefore purchase the densitometer that will exactly meet your requirements. It’s modular design
also allows you to order additional functions which are not yet included in your D19C unit at any time
later on.
In the following, the operation instructions generally refer to the D190 densitometer. The designation
‘D190’ thereby stands for either ‘D19C’ or ‘D196’, depending on the type of unit you own.
The D19C and D196 units only differ in the number of available measuring functions. Otherwise, the
units are exactly identical and are also operated in the same way.
If a certain function is not available in your unit, then the respective menu lines will not be displayed
on your unit either. In this manual, all the functions which are available for a D190 are described in
detail. It is possible, therefore, that the description also includes functions which are not available in
your unit. However, if you order an additional function later on, you will find the corresponding
instructions in your present manual.
On your unit, the menu display of the function selection may be presented itself, for example,
like this (D196 densitometer) or like this (D19C densitometer with
the functions Density, Dot gain and Trapping)
Each individual function provided with your densitometer can be temporarily switched of. In this
case, the respective function will not appear in the menu.
