Ink that beads, smears or lifts in tape tests is often blamed on viscosity when the film’s treatment faded or additives bloomed to the surface. Contact angle and surface energy on every roll, beside ink surface tension, show whether the film is ready to print. Used by converters, label and flexible packaging printers, and ink formulators.
Use cases showing how contact angle and surface tension measurement replace guesswork on corona treatment, ink adhesion and ink troubleshooting on plastic film.
Corona Treatment Monitoring for Print Quality
Turns corona treatment into a repeatable surface readiness gate, replacing dyne pen judgment with contact angle and surface energy data on every roll.
Ink Adhesion and Abrasion Testing on Film
Checks film wetting and surface energy before printing, so low or faded treatment and additive bloom are caught before tape and rub tests fail.
Ink Viscosity Troubleshooting for Print Quality
Separates ink viscosity from surface tension and film wetting effects, so teams stop adjusting viscosity when the real problem is a surface tension or substrate readiness mismatch.
