Title: Method of measurement of aromatic varnish application
Inventor: SAJDAK MAREK
IPC: G01N21/84
Filed: 2013-09-16
Abstract: The present invention refers to a method of measurement of application of aromatic varnish, in particular clear varnishes used for offset and rotogravure printing. The method consists in adding to the aromatic varnish as a marker, organic and/or non-organic pigments that can be seen in visible or UV light in the amount ranging from 40,000 to 500,000 per 1 rom3. The size of grains of added pigments ranges from 0.1 Î¼m to 50 pm. The mixture of the aromatic varnish and the marker undergoes dispergation, and then from the obtained varnish with the marker distributed evenly in the entire volume of the varnish, clean proofs are made where the aromatic varnish coat corresponds to the coat assumed in the printing process. Using a microscope with the magnification ranging from l00x to 500x, with an installed counter of marker grains visible in the reflected or UV light, the number of pigment grains is measured in the clean proofs and then the proper printing process takes place, during which samples printed with the varnish during the said process are collected and observed under a microscope in the reflected light, with magnification ranging from approx. l00x to 500x, and then the number of visible pigment particles in the collected sample is compared with the number of visible pigments in the clean proof.
