Ink black and white cardboard

Ink black-white test card is a substrate coated with black and white areas on its surface. During printing, it is used to observe the opacity of ink on the white area and the transparency on the black area, which helps detect ink concentration, tinting strength, and transfer uniformity. It is applied in print quality control and ink formulation adjustment.
Selection
When selecting, pay attention to the smoothness of the cardstock surface and ensure its ink absorption matches the actual printing material. The black and white coating must be solvent-resistant and non-fading. Choose cardstock with corresponding anti-penetration properties based on the type of ink to ensure that the ink layer accurately presents the diffusion effect during testing. The thickness of the cardstock affects its stiffness, which must be compatible with the paper feeding requirements of the printing press.
