Testings in Offset printing
Technical and colourimetric evaluation of printed copies
The examinations offered are as varied as the printed products and their defects. These include ink abrasion, blocking, ghosting, mottling, register deviations and doubling. Furthermore, the conformity with the ProcessStandard Offset (PSO) or ISO 12647 and the colour match between proof and production run can be checked.
Residual strength of heatset papers
In combination with the embrittlement of the paper due to heatset drying, the mechanical stresses during folding lead to a significant reduction in strength properties. This can lead to breaking of the fold. It is often noticed too late when individual pages of the finished printed product are torn out of a staple or thread binding.
Our clients are print shops and print buyers as well as manufacturers of printing machines, inks and papers.
A typical concern is the assessment and troubleshooting of complaints regarding print quality or the used materials. However, there is also a frequent demand for investigations that are intended to serve the further development of products.
