IGT AIC2-5T2000: Multi-purpose printability tester with dual print shaft

IGT Testing Systems has for many decades been supplying the well-known AIC2-5 printability tester for making numerous tests on different substrates and inks in quality control and research.

  • Tests small quantities of ink and substrate in conditions simulating actual practice
  • Makes colour strips with various inks on different substrates, which can be used for numerous purposes.
  • Saves costs because many tests do not need to be made on the printing presses.
  • High repeatability and reproducibility
  • Simple to operate
  • Extensive range of accessories
  • Large range of possible tests
  • Consistent results
  • The original ISO 3783 compliant pick tester

APPLICATIONS
The test strips made on the AIC2-5 printability tester are suitable for many purposes:

  • measuring colour with colour measuring systems/spectrophotometers
  • use in colour matching systems
  • visual appraisal
  • density measurements, including establishing tolerances
  • determination of coverage, scratch resistance, wear resistance, flexibility, adhesion and gloss, ink transfer (in g/m2), light fastness and resistance to chemicals
  • testing of printing quality, picking, wet pick and wet repellence, roughness, print penetration, Heliotest, set-off, striking through, mottle, loose and weakly bound paper articles

The AIC2-5 tester prints on different materials like paper, board, plastic film, cellophane, laminate, metal, etc. The AIC2-5 tester is used in the following industries:

  • printing ink, paper and board, printers
  • metal, plastic and packaging industries
  • resin, lacquer and coating industries
  • raw material industry
  • training centres
