Specifications



Digital Colorbar Package


Tobias colorbars

The Tobias Digital Colorbar Package includes graphics files of print control strips suitable for a wide range of printing applications, including newspaper, web and sheetfed presses. They are available in various heights, from as small as 1/16", to accommodate varying press cutoff requirements and several lengths as well, 6" (4/c), 12" (4/c) and 40" (6/c). A three-color graybar in three sizes (1/16", 1/8" and 3/16") is also included for measuring color for newspaper work. The colorbars are available in digital format as .EPS files for both MAC and IBM users and are easily imported directly into a page layout software program. All styles of these colorbars have the ability to be read using any Tobias densitometer, either with an automatic scanning type or with a manual, portable densitometer.

Mottle Tester

MTItm Mottle Tester

Photograph of Tobias MTI(tm) Mottle Tester A compact bench-top system for quantifying
printing mottle measurement as a reproducible
numerical index value for manufacturing control
of paper production. Measures mottle on printed
paper in less that 2 minutes. Produces a mottle
index value as well as a bar graph showing
density variation to ±0.001 density units.
Measures one, two or three samples per operation.

Ideal for paper manufacturers and printers who
are concerned about high quality print reproduction.

Para-Magtm

Collimating Magnifier

Photograph of Tobias Para-Mag(tm) collimating magnifier A magnifying glass with achromatic lenses that
requires you to look at right angles to the surface.
Useful for stripping and other applications where
register is important. Choose either the newer
PARA-MAG 10 for 10 power magnification or the
traditional PARA-MAG 7 for 7 power.

Akukuttm

Depth-Controlled Cutter

Photograph of Tobias Akukut(tm) depth-controlled cutter Precision cutter allows you to cut within a blade's thickness of a straightedge without cutting into the straight edge, the material underneath, or your finger! Cuts with single-edged disposable blade recessed into holder. Adjustable foot allows control of depth of cut to .001". Supplied with case and adjustment screwdriver. Replacement blades available.



Radiology

Wejex I-Wtm

21-Step Sensitometer

Photograph of Tobias Wejex(tm) Sensitometer Generates a test exposure with a known, repeatable, electronically controlled light source. Using a precise 21-step, glass-protected gray-scale wedge, a series of exposure steps from dark to light, in 0.15D increments, is produced on a film sample. After proccessing, density values of the test film should be compared with corresponding reference densities measured with a transmission densitometer. Saves time and eliminates cost of purchased pre-exposed control strips. 115V or 230V.
