Printing ink Metering Rod

A printing ink metering rod is a metal rod with precisely engraved grooves on its surface. When in use, ink is applied to the rod, and the depth of the grooves controls the amount of ink transferred, creating a uniform ink film layer. It is used for testing ink thickness before printing and adjusting coating processes to ensure color consistency in printed materials.

This article introduces how the ink tack meter measures the tack value of printing ink. The tack value reflects the ink's ability to resist separation during printing, which is important for controlling print quality.
The role of a reflection densitometer in controlling printing ink concentration.
The reflection densitometer measures the light reflectance of the ink layer and converts it into a density value, thereby objectively reflecting the thickness and concentration of the ink layer. In printing, it is used to monitor solid density, ensuring stable ink supply, replacing subjective judgment, and enabling data-driven control.
