Printing Ink Fineness Scraper

The printing ink fineness gauge measures the degree of pigment dispersion by scraping an ink sample into a thin film on a calibrated plate and observing the particle distribution. It is used to detect the size of agglomerated particles in the ink, ensuring a smooth and uniform printing surface while avoiding defects such as roughness or streaks in printed materials. It is widely applied in ink production and printing quality control processes.
Selection
When selecting a fineness gauge for printing ink, it is essential to consider a measurement range that matches the particle size of the ink. The material should be wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, with clear and easy-to-read scales. Determine the gauge specifications based on the commonly used ink types, and check the flatness of the blade and plate to ensure ease of operation. Choose an appropriate model by referring to actual testing requirements and standard specifications.
