IGT printability tester can test the printability of various substrates and inks.
1. Test with a small amount of ink and substrate to simulate the actual operation.
2. Suitable for a variety of inks and substrates, can be used for many purposes.
3. Reduce the number of tests on the printing press and save costs.
The sample printed by the printing adaptability tester is suitable for many purposes, such as:
1. Measure color with a color measurement system or spectrophotometer
2. Suitable for color matching
3. Visual assessment
4. Density measurement: including establishing tolerances
5. Determine the ink coverage, abrasion resistance, scratch resistance, flexibility, adhesion fastness and gloss, ink transfer rate (in g / m2), light resistance and chemical resistance.
6.Test printing quality, brushing / wet brushing / wet repellency, printing penetration, Helio test, smearing, through-printing, ink stains, paper surface loose matter test
7. Suitable for various materials: paper, cardboard, plastic film, cellophane, laminated composites, metal products, etc.

Suitable for the following industries:
1. Printing ink, paper and cardboard, printing house
2. Metal, plastic products and various packaging
3. Resin, paint and coating industry
4. Raw materials

Test standards:

GB / T22365-2008 “Determination of paper and board printing surface strength”
ISO 3782:1980. Paper and board — Determination of resistance to picking — Accelerating speed method using the IGT tester (Pendulum or spring model)
TAPPI 514, TAPPI 575 “Standard-Surface strength of coated paperboard

Instrument functions:

1. Spot color ribbon for color difference and density analysis, ink transfer rate, ink film thickness analysis, ink gloss analysis, ink wear resistance analysis.
2. Ink even method: automatic variable speed and pressure even ink (adjustable pressure, adjustable speed)
3.  Printing pressure: 0-800N pressure adjustable, manual adjustment, printing pressure can be reasonably adjusted according to the thickness of the substrate
4. Uniform ink speed: speed is infinitely adjustable, 0-700r / min speed adjustment, printing speed can be adjusted according to the characteristics of ink and paper characteristics.
5. Color development speed: color development speed is adjustable, 0–100r / min is infinitely adjustable.
6. Printing roll width: 25mm, 50mm comes in two sizes
7. Effective area of color bar: 25 * 220mm, 50 * 220mm
8. Rubber roller: German imported rubber (VU70), the same material as the rubber roller of the printing press.
