IGT Amsterdam 1 Printability Tester
Automated printability tester, with built-in camera based analysis system
Fully automated, with settings for both constant and increasing speed. Encompases all of the tests of the IGT Global Standard Tester – P and IGT Global Standard Tester-3.
Perform on-line analysis of mottling, with the camera based analysis system. Designed for tests on different substrates and inks in quality control settings and research. Capabilities include:
- able to test small quantities of ink and substrate under simulated conditions of actual use
- make colour prints with various inks on different substrates
- save costs from fewer tests needing to be carried out on press
Applications
- Measuring colour in colour matching systems and spectrophotometers
- Visual assessment
- Density measurements, including establishing colour and density tolerances
- Determining coverage, wear resistance, abrasion resistance, flexibility, adhesion and gloss, ink transfer (g/m2) light fastness and resistance to chemicals
- Testing printing quality, mottle, picking, linting, set off, striking through, loose and weakly bound paper particles
