The ASTM D5010-2017 Standard Guide provides methods and specifications for testing and evaluating Printing inks and related materials. It covers testing procedures for Printing inks, inks films, and substrates, but excludes testing of raw materials and analytical methods. Clear coating materials such as overprint varnish are classified as Printing inks. In practical applications, the Miscellaneous ASTM Standard may also apply. This guide provides a systematic test method for ensuring mass printing materials.
