The Digital Ink Rub Tester manufactured by TMI. conforms to the Sutherland Rub Test ASTM D5264 and is a reliable scruff resistance tester for digital ink rubbing

The TMI Büchel 10-20 Digital Ink Rub Tester is a professional testing device developed to measure ink durability and abrasion resistance on printed surfaces. Operating in accordance with the ASTM D5264 standard, it analyzes print quality and surface durability with high precision and repeatability.

The ink rub test evaluates the resistance of printed materials to ink loss, smudging, or surface degradation during use, handling, and friction. This test is especially critical in the packaging and label industries to ensure print quality integrity.

The device is developed in compliance with international testing standards including ASTM D5264, TAPPI T830, FINAT FTM 27, and ASTM F1571. This ensures reliable and comparable results in both laboratory and quality control processes.

The TMI Büchel 10-20 Digital Ink Rub Tester is widely used in the following industries:

Packaging and printing industry
Label production
Paperboard and corrugated board manufacturing
Paper and printed materials
Ink and coating testing
Flexographic and offset printing control
Professional Print Quality Control

Thanks to its high-precision control mechanism, the device detects even the smallest ink transfer on printed surfaces. This helps maintain quality standards in production processes and reduces waste rates.
