IGT Amsterdam 6 Printability Tester
Automated multi-purpose printability tester with six printing shafts
The Amsterdam 6 printability tester has an integrated, camera based, analysis system.
The extensive range of standard test methods can be extended with user defined methods. The Amsterdam 6, is therefore capable of performing all of the tests of the now obsolete Global Standard Tester P and all the tests of the now obsolete Global Standard Tester 2.
The Amsterdam 6 is able to deliver combinations of constant and increasing speed in one test method. It is also set up to carry out on-line analysis of pick ISO 3783, mottling, Heliotest, print penetration, IGT roughness and hydro-expansivity.
