Lloyds Automatic Digital Inkoscope

Lloyds Research has developed the 3rd generation of Ink-O-Scope 92SAV-SC2 for the in-depth evaluation of your ink formulation and its dynamic behaviour on press condition and making a sense of tack dynamically rather than just an arbitrary tack number.

Tack is not a static rheological property of an ink or vehicle. It depends on the formulation, applied dynamic conditions like temperatures, stress, speed and time. All these parameters may vary on printing presses, so it's important to know how strong several factors may influence the ink tack behaviour and in consequence the quality of ink under different practical conditions.

Specifications:

A Tack Measurement in three independent simultaneous separate scales:

A 0-50 gm-mtr (Inkometer-ASTM)

A 0-600 (Europe, Tack-O-Scope)

A User settable for reference

A Test speed 150 to 3000 RPM (720 Meters/min)

Features:

A Design confirms to ASTM D 4361

A Very high accuracy and 100% reproducible results

A Ergonomically designed with easy cleaning

A Negligible and Minimal Maintenance

A Individual display of all programmable test parameters

A Dedicated hi-speed electronics and communication (data recording speed of 1000 readings per minute)

A TackowareAR software (optional) for graphical online presentation, data interchange and comparisons of infinite results

A Easy DIY digital calibration by simple deadweight method and not by varnishes or ink.

A Rubber rollers available for conventional or UV curin
