Abstract: This paper points out a number of false notions about the design, operation, maintenance and control of a color densitometer, and the utilization of its measurements. The basic optical principles of a typical color densitometer are described. The relationships between these color density measurements and any other set of reliable color density measurements is discussed. The common pitfalls are discussed in detail. These are classified into operational, control and maintenance errors.
