Overview of the IGT Amsterdam Series

IGT Amsterdam – the next level IGT printability tester

IGT Amsterdam printability testers are engineered to deliver, computer controlled, automated test methods that help prevent users from making mistakes. In this way, variations in results are minimised and the outcome of each test is less dependent on the operator.

The internal computer controls the correct positioning of the printing disc, the moment that pressure is applied to each individual printing shaft, the exact force of the printing disc on the sector, the start of the print, printing with constant, or increasing speed and the activation of the camera that takes a high-resolution scan for the analysis.

Certain Amsterdam configurations are focused on R&D, with a set of specific test methods, while other Amsterdams are intended for Quality Control. Please explore the detailed list below:
