Test for Assessing Liner Printability, 1997 Process & Product Quality Conference Proceedings
The MB Print Indicator provides an indirect measurement of several flexographic printing properties of linerboard. The test equipment is an automatic and precise ink draw-down instrument. It is simple, quick and requires no special conditions. The test results are easy to understand and allow immediate evaluation. Laboratory measurements on a broad range of liner samples indicate that the measurement is highly correlated to density, surface porosity and smoothness properties.
