AlphaTackPlus Highlights
The
AlphaTackPlus
instrument allows quick tack determination of printing inks with a high
degree of accuracy and reproducibility. Due to its closely controlled test conditions the
AlphaTackPlus methodology offers significant advantages over the usual tack testing
methods. The AlphaTackPlus provides a problem-solving approach to measuring pure tack
(QC), ink length, tack stability vs. time, vs. temperature, vs. line force and offers a practical
and consistent solution to commonly encountered problems of splitting ink films.
The
AlphaTackPlus
is a new, innovative tack measuring instrument. It features a fully
automated system, providing accurate results under controlled conditions
