Offset ink fineness Gauge

The offset ink fineness gauge is used by scraping an ink sample on a calibrated flat plate and observing the uniformity of particle distribution to assess the dispersion level of pigments and fillers in the ink. It is employed to control the surface smoothness and color consistency of printed materials, preventing issues such as streaks or spots during printing.
Selection
When selecting, consider the compatibility of the ink type with the fineness range, ensure the metal plate material is wear-resistant, ensure clear scales for easy reading, confirm that the dimensions fit the laboratory operating space, and maintain uniform blade pressure to ensure test repeatability. Determine the appropriate range based on conventional printing needs.

Operating Specifications and Result Interpretation of Paint Fineness Gauges
The fineness gauge is used to measure the dispersion of particles in paint. During operation, the sample should be applied to the groove under standard conditions, and a scraper is used to spread it evenly to form a wet film. The particle visibility is then observed under appropriate lighting, and the fineness value is read from the corresponding scale.
