• Dot Analysis

For a sophisticated densitometer with every possible function for measuring process work, then you need the Ihara R730 - you won't find better value or a more accurate instrument! Simple operation means it is still fine for basic press control, but the extra features will help you detect and sort out just about anything that can possibly go wrong!

Not only does the R730 allows you to measure tints, and enable you to achieve a consistent ink densities on press, but the wide range of measuring functions available is ideal for QC departments, as well as sorting out printing problems.

• Top Performance & Reliability  Made in Japan by Ihara Electronic Industries, the R730 has proven reliability and accuracy.

• Menu Driven Commands  Simply select the required functions from the on-screen menu - you won't ever need to read a manual. Clear and precise instructions for every measurement are displayed on the large LCD screen.
