When an item is viewed, the color we see is a result of the color quality of the light source and the reflective characteristics of the item. As a result, when attempting to achieve an accurate color match, colors can appear to match under one light source and then appear significantly different under another light source.
Description
Portable Color Viewing in Industry Standard D50 Lighting
GTI’s PDV desktop color viewing stations are designed for accurate color appraisal of small format color prints, proofs, and flat artwork in studio, office, and production environments. The compact and portable design of these viewers allows you to place them wherever needed—next to a desktop monitor, atop a digital press, on a table or counter, or anywhere color appraisal needs to be made in industry standard lighting.
The Industry Choice
The PDV series provides the right light for accurate color viewing at the right price. Utilizing multi-voltage electronic ballasts and Graphiclite 100 T8 lamps, PDV viewers are the industry choice for D50 controlled desktop viewing of small format color prints.
Three model sizes offer viewing areas from 13" × 19.25" up to 23.5" × 25.25". All models fold for easy set-up, storage, and transport.

Options for Enhanced Viewing
Optional side walls are available on all models to control ambient light.
Adding a lower luminaire improves the evenness of light across the viewing area and is ideal for the most critical color appraisal. Dual luminaire models include side walls.
Soft Proofing Capability
Full range dimming capability enables soft proofing by allowing for a luminance match to be made between a hard copy proof or print and an image on a monitor.
