ColorLine 7000 Analyzer #6245
Contents:
Product Summary:
The ColorLine 7000 is designed to make printing color and B/W images easier and faster than doing it by trial and error. It automatically sets the exposure time to match the programmed print density (which you can manually adjust). Using a small strip of the paper and a gray known-negative (provided) the analyzer automatically programs itself to neutral-density gray. The analyzer takes single 3mm spot readings, or averages up to 20 spot readings for both density and color, or takes a single diffused reading.
Densitometer Operation
The ColorLine 7000 functions as a reference densitometer and provides a means of determining and correcting a paper's slope characteristics. Also, it determines the contrast of any two areas you measure and recommends the correct paper grade to get detail in both areas.Operation
Once you've "told" it what color and density to match, you simply put a new negative in your enlarger, place the ColorLine's probe into the same type of area, press the Analyze button, then turn the enlarger's filters until the ColorLine's LED displays are nulled. The exposure time is simultaneously calculated and set. Press the Expose button, and the ColorLine switches the enlarger lamp on for the correct amount of time. You can even dodge and burn, interrupting the countdown if needed.Three VC profiles allow you to switch from one set of VC paper to another easily (i.e. change from Ilford to Kodak to Agfa).
There is even a built-in print counter and paper surface calculator for manual replenishment of chemicals - which leads to more consistent results. Includes foot switch for easy operation.
Controls
Color LEDs and Analyzing Controls
The uppermost indicators on the control panel identify whether yellow, magenta, or cyan filtration is being displayed. The three LED display that have value of "50.0" in this image reflect the required filter value to print this image successfully. The small white circle above the "n" in ColorLine is a photocell which automatically dims the display when the lights are lowered. The "Analyze" and "Lamp" buttons are self explanatory, and the "Start/Stop" button controls the actual exposure.
Informative LCD Window, Density LED, Programming Controls
The display LCD screen in the upper left-hand corner of this image is how the analyzer communicates with you. There are many menus and submenus that give you full control over the analyzer, and they're laid out in an intuitive manner. The green "D" LED indicates the numeric display directly underneath it shows the density.The two buttons on the far left indicated with up and down arrows are your controls to modify values, or move through the different menus. The "Menu" button activates the menu system. The "Cal" button allows for calibration. The "Yes" and "No" buttons are used to answer questions listed in the LCD panel. The "+" and "-' buttons are used to change either the selected filtration, density, or exposure time.
