Used for writing/printing paper, newsprint, coated paper and other similar grade of paper.
Key Features of Print Surface Roughness/Smoothness Tester
- Surface roughness is very much interest for good results.
- The layer of ink must be thicker than the roughness to give a good and glossy print.
- The amount of ink used is not only a cost but also influence the drying time and thus the risk is set.
- With more ink there is also bigger risk for print through problems.
- When lamming paper with metal foil or with plastic films, the overall results depends very much on the surface roughness of the base paper used.
