Ink wet Film Applicator

The ink wet film applicator uses an adjustable gap blade to draw a coating on the substrate, forming a wet film layer with uniform thickness. It is used in the laboratory to simulate the printing process and examine the fluidity, hiding power, and color performance of the ink. It is suitable for printing quality control and ink formulation development.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the blade material to the substrate type, determine the thickness range according to test standards, and check the levelness of the coating. The operating environment requires stable temperature and humidity, with regular cleaning to avoid cross-contamination. It should be compatible with common laboratory substrate sizes for convenient comparative analysis.
