Printed packaging is an important part of commercial products, and gloss is a key indicator to measure the quality of printed matter. Prints with high gloss have better texture and expression visually, making the product more attractive and competitive. In addition, gloss also reflects the surface smoothness and consistency of printed matter, which plays an important role in ensuring the readability and durability of printed matter. Therefore, measuring the gloss of printed packaging can help manufacturers ensure the quality of printed products and improve the market competitiveness of products.
Gloss meter is also widely used in the detection and control of product gloss in the printing and packaging industry. The following is the application and measurement steps of the gloss meter in the gloss detection of printing and packaging:
Measurement steps
Preparation: Place the printed matter or packaging material to be tested on a flat test table, and ensure that the surface is clean and free of impurities, so as not to affect the test results;
Adjustment instrument: adjust according to the instruction manual of the gloss meter to ensure that the instrument meets the test requirements. Generally, zero point calibration and reference plate calibration are required;
Measurement: Place the test head of the gloss meter on the surface of printed matter or packaging materials, and start the instrument for measurement. Generally, multiple tests are required to take the average value to avoid errors;
Document the results: The measurement results are documented, evaluated and classified according to relevant standards. At the same time, test results can also be compared with previous historical data to facilitate tracking changes and improvements in the production process.
Beichao reminds you: there may be some differences in the test results of different printed materials or packaging materials, which need to be evaluated and analyzed according to the actual situation. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the stability of the test environment to avoid the influence of factors such as temperature and humidity.
