TECHNICAL EQUIPMENT
X-rite Spectrophotometer – We use our
spectrophotometer to analyse the colour specifications of inks to ensure manufactured batch to batch consistency, colour matching, and in further development of our inks.
FTIR Spectrometer – We perform FTIR spectroscopy to analyse our raw materials and inks to ensure that our products are consistent. We aslo perform FTIR spectroscopy in the development of our inks.
Gas Chromatograph – We use our gas
chromatograph to test for solvent retention of printed samples in an effort to develop safe inks for food packaging.
Coefficient of Friction Tester – We use our coefficient of friction tester to ensure the coefficient of friction specifications of our inks and coatings are met.
UV Curer – We use our UV curer to analyse and test our UV curable inks for print speed, lamp intensity, and depth of cure specifications.
Corona Treater – Our corona treater uses high voltage electrical discharge on the surface of print films to modify their surface tension. We use our corona treater to develop, test, and optimize our inks to the printing conditions of our customers.
