Gretag D186 CMYK Densitometer / Dot Meter (Type T/P) – Professional Print Quality Control Tool

The Gretag D186 is a proven, classic reflection densitometer widely used in print shops worldwide. It offers densitometric capabilities very similar to the X-Rite 518 and nice for offset printing.

💎 Condition & Configuration

• Built-in polarizing filter (type T/P) greatly reduces measurement differences between wet (fresh) and dry ink.
• Fully serviced, tested, and calibrated.
• Ready for immediate professional use.

📊 Measurement Capabilities The Gretag D186 supports these key functions:

• Density (includes difference mode)
• Dot gain
• Dot area
• Contrast
• Trapping
• Hue error
• Greyness

In most cases (around 90% of everyday use by our customers), print shops rely on just one or two core functions: Density (for solid ink control) and Dot gain (for tone value increase/TVI monitoring). This device gives you those essentials plus advanced extras like trapping, contrast, and more for full ISO-compliant process control and troubleshooting.
