Direct surface measurement in paper industry

The papers’ topography is one of the most important parameters and a deciding factor in terms of printability. As it is with surface parameters such as height and depth, the smoothness of the paper is decisive for a high quality print image. Con­ventional measurement techniques such as PPS or Bendtsen are indirect methods without any numerical information about the real surface state.

InfiniteFocus® is not only a direct surface measurement tool, but it also captures the entire surface topographic information registered with its true color information.

InfiniteFocus® is not only a direct surface measurement tool, but it also captures the entire surface topographic information registered with its true color information. So, direct correlation to its printability is provided. Various applications such as studies of poor print images showing e.g. Missing Dots or the evaluation of processes to increase smoothness are easily performed.
