No.494 Income Meter
This is a testing machine for evaluating the tackiness (tack value) of ink and misting.
The behavior of the ink film separating between rolls on a printing machine is significantly influenced by the characteristics of the ink, making it one of the important factors in evaluating printability. The inkometer is a device that models the functions of each roll on the printing machine and measures the tack of the ink that appears here. Tack is a property related to the viscosity of the ink, representing its adhesiveness, and is closely related to the surface strength of the paper and trapping, among other factors. ● Operator name (up to 20 characters), sample name (up to 80 characters), and test conditions (up to 50 characters) can be registered. ● The removal of the top roll and vibration roll has become easier.
