58-06 Parker Print-Surf (Single Head)
The measurement of the Parker Print-Surf gives valuable information for the Printing Process. The data, the amount and the way the ink should be applied can be predicted. This information helps to avoid time consuming and costly printing problems.
Description
The Parker Print Surf measures the roughness of a wide variety of samples according to the Dr. John Parker method. With its high speed and pressure setting the Parker Print Surf simulates the way ink is applied during the printing process. The clamp pressure is adjustable making it possible to simulate different printing settings. The instrument is used for fine paper, coated paper, newsprint, coated board, linerboard, films and foils, packaging and carton board. A porosity head is available as an option to test the air permeancy.
