Selecting test conditions 

 

 

Select a test condition that is close to the failure point of the material. Increasing the test pressure increases the severity of the 
test. The failure point can be found by trial and error, several tests should be carried out using increasing weights until marking of 
the substrate and/or deterioration of the coating is visible. 

 

Test pressure -

 

The weight set provided allows for 3 test pressures: 

 

Pounds / Inch2 (p.s.i.) 

kPa Equivalent 

 

Weights 

0.5 

3.45 

None 

1.0 

6.90

To select the reported test pressure* press the 

+/-

 buttons to cycle through the available options (fig 2).

Sample Preparation  

 

Sample selection 

 

 

Upper sample -

 The 50mm diameter sample is typically cut from a sample of printed material. Select an area for testing, 

it is usual to test areas that are MOST likely to fail; these include any heavy ink build areas or spot colours. 

 

 

Lower sample -

 The lower sample is 115mm in diameter - This can either be another sample of the printed material or 

white paper to see clearly see the ink transference. 

 

Using the sample templates 

 

 

Identify the area of the printed sample to be tested. 
 

 

Position the supplied template(s) over the area and carefully cut around the template.
