Color printing ink viscoMeter

The color printing ink viscometer measures viscosity by assessing the resistance encountered by a rotor rotating in the ink. It is used to monitor the flow characteristics of ink during the printing process, ensuring coating uniformity and color consistency. It is applied in printing workshops and ink production quality control.
Selection
When selecting, consider that the measurement range matches the ink type, the accuracy meets the process requirements, the rotor material is resistant to solvent corrosion, the temperature control function adapts to environmental changes, the ease of operation aligns with the personnel's skill level, and the data output method integrates with the existing recording system.
