Developed from Dr. John Parker’s original method, the Parker Print-Surf is a microprocessor-controlled instrument, which performs high
speed, precision measurements of paper surface roughness under conditions that simulate those encountered during the printing process.
The specimen is clamped between a precision engineered measuring head and a specially designed backing assembly. The resistance to airflow is
measured and converted to a mean roughness value in micrometers.In its latest form the instrument offers extended ranges of clamp pressure and measurement capability, together with a dual-head option for increased testing efficiency. This versatile instrument provides the information you need to avoid time-consuming, costly printing problems.
