Tack Measurement

Tack measurements are a vital factor in the development and production of printing inks and the media onto which they are transferred.

Measurement of tack helps to isolate some of the factors which influence nip flow and transfer and therefore tack remains to be one of the critical parameters to accurately measure in the formulation and Quality Control of lithographic printing inks.

Improved level of quality assurance and process control

After years of joint development involving several users in the industry and constantly improving the technology we have come to an unmatched level of accuracy in tack measurement. Differences in on-press performance of inks, which cannot be detected with existing methods, are distinguished.

This provides the printer and his supplier an improvement of quality assurance and process control, and that saves money.
