Print density is a measurement of light reflected off of the press sheet in printing industry. Quality of a particular print depends on the ink density a lot. A density of a particular is depends upon its viscosity. A densitometer measures ink density on a color bar, telling the press operator or the worker doing that particular job how to adjust the ink level. Proper density values are checked in each ink zone using a color bar or other areas of solid single-color ink coverage.
