Calibration Verification of the 390 & 391

All X-Rite 390 or 391 densitometers ship with a "Calibration Verification Reference" (Part No.: 381-25) that is a 21-step film is designed to be read by the densitometer and then stated values on the reference can be compared to the measured value for the same step.  It is important to note here that the instrument can not be manually adjusted by the user, rather this is simply designed to VERIFY calibration.  If the measured value varies more than the acceptable range as stated on the "Certificate of Calibration", contact X-Rite Customer Support.
