7、served iii Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject fo

8、r which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on

9、all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees ar

10、e circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held r

ISO 2834 consists of the following parts, under the general title Graphic technology Laboratory preparation of test prints: Part 1: Paste inks Part 2: Liquid print

12、ing inks Part 3: Screen printing inks ISO 2834-3:2008(E) iv ISO 2008 All rights reservedIntroduction This part of ISO 2834 describes the procedure for the preparation of test prints using screen inks. Test prints need to have a uniform distribution of ink on the substrate to be used for testing. Whe

13、re such test prints are to be used for optical tests, the level of ink coverage needs to be controlled and reproducible to allow the relationship between reflectance data and ink coverage to be determined. If test prints are intended to only be used for evaluation of mechanical and/or chemical resis

14、tance, less accurate preparation methods can be used. Test prints, as well as production prints, can have an ink film thicknesses that range between 10 m and more than 100 m. The viscosity range is from about 300 Pa s to 2 000 Pa s. The inks varnish systems used can be oil-based, solvent-based, wate

15、r-based, plastisol or energy curing. Print substrates include paper, board, glass, textiles, plastics and metals. The test print preparation methods described in this document support, and are referenced by, ISO 2846-4 and ISO 2836. The preparation of test prints using paste inks (lithography) is de

16、fined in ISO 2834-1 and the preparation of test prints using liquid inks is defined in ISO 2834-2. INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 2834-3:2008(E) ISO 2008 All rights reserved 1 Graphic technology Laboratory preparation of test prints Part 3: Screen printing inks 1 Scope This part of ISO 2834 specifies a

17、test method for preparation of test prints produced with screen printing inks. These test prints are intended primarily for optical tests, such as colorimetry, transparency and reflection density as described in ISO 2846-4. They can also be used for testing gloss, light fastness and the chemical, ph

28、t of screen printing ink is applied uniformly on the chosen substrate. The procedures described in this part of ISO 2834 are used to prepare test prints for optical tests and can be used to prepare test prints for any other testing of printed ink. 4.2 Apparatus Any printability tester, printing ink,

29、 substrate and drying apparatus may be used as long as the requirements of 4.2.1 to 4.2.4, 4.3 and 4.4 are met. Test conditions and variables associated with such equipment and materials shall be agreed upon between parties since variations have a strong influence on the results and comparability of

30、 the properties of the test sample. 4.2.1 Printability tester The printability tester may use flatbed or rotational principals. To ensure repeatable operation, the printability tester shall provide motorized control of the ink transfer function. The printing speed, the squeegee angle, the pressure o

31、f the squeegee and the off contact distance shall be adjustable. These shall be constant and uniform during the printing process. The used settings shall be recorded. The squeegee should be easily replaceable. A flooding device shall be provided. 4.2.2 Printing forme The printing forme shall be desi

32、gned for solid tones of an area not smaller than 50 mm 75 mm. The stencil shall be produced using a capillary film of an agreed-upon thickness to ensure a sufficient surface smoothness. The mesh shall be produced from polyester. The mesh count and the diameter of the wires determine the mesh volume

33、and therefore shall be agreed upon between parties. For flatbed equipment and printed areas smaller than 150 mm 200 mm, the ink rest area on each side of the printing area of the mesh shall be at least as large as the corresponding size of the printing area. The mesh tension shall be appropriate wit

34、h respect to the type of mesh and the dimension of the frame. During cleaning processes and printing, the printing forme is subjected to abrasion. Therefore, reference test prints using a black ink shall be performed at regular intervals, in accordance with the intensity of use of the printing forme

35、. This black ink shall be test ready and shall be stored during the lifetime of the particular printing forme but not for longer than 6 months. Each reference print shall be made five consecutive times, where the first two prints will be discarded. Density measurements shall be performed in accordan

36、ce with ISO 14981 and the average density of at least 10 measurements of each of the last three prints shall be calculated. If this density differs by more than 5 % from the reference density determined with the printing forme in first use, the forme shall be replaced. 4.2.3 Squeegee and flooding de

37、vice The squeegee may be produced from any suitable material, but there shall be prior agreement regarding the hardness of the material, and the shape, profile and smoothness of the doctoring edge. There shall be prior agreement regarding the type of and settings for the flooding device and its use.

38、 4.2.4 Quality requirements for printability testers Before use, a screen ink printability tester shall be tested to insure uniformity of printing. Sample prints shall be prepared using a black ink and shall be performed in a way that an optical density of 1,5 0,3 is achieved. Print density shall be

39、 measured in accordance to ISO 14981. Measurements shall be made in an equally spaced pattern adapted to the geometric form of the print area (minimum 25 measurements). If the standard deviation of density measurements exceeds 0,03, the performance of the screen ink printability tester shall be cons

40、idered unacceptable. ISO 2834-3:2008(E) 4 ISO 2008 All rights reserved4.3 Materials 4.3.1 Printing ink Printing inks to be tested may be received as two components, with high viscosity or press ready. Since extension, drying properties, viscosity and, for two-component inks, the mixing ratio and ope

41、n time of the printing inks to be printed and tested have a specific influence on the print result, these parameters shall be specified and adjusted to create a test-ready ink. 4.3.1.1 Extension If a printing ink is supplied at a high colorant concentration, it should be mixed with an extender. Ther

42、e shall be prior agreement as to the type and amount of extender to be used. 4.3.1.2 Viscosity adjustment The viscosity shall be determined and adjusted with a solvent at a certain temperature. The printing ink viscosity shall be determined using a viscometer. There shall be prior agreement as to th

43、e required viscosity, the measuring system and settings of the viscometer and the solvent to be used. The initial viscosity, the nature and amount of material used to dilute the sample and the final viscosity shall be recorded. NOTE To compensate for differences in printing speeds and different dryi

44、ng conditions between test and production printing, the adjustment of the viscosity may require the use of different diluting materials for the test printing that would be needed for production printing. 4.3.2 Printing substrate and its preparation There shall be prior agreement as to the printing s

45、ubstrate to be used and its preparation (e.g. application of primer, corona treatment) and properties. For prints obtained in accordance with ISO 2846-4, specify the use of the reference substrate with specific characteristics. 4.4 Test conditions 4.4.1 Climatic conditions Samples shall be condition

46、ed and tests shall be executed under standard conditions in accordance with ISO 187. 4.4.2 Settings for the printability tester There shall be prior agreement regarding fixation of substrate (clamps and/or vacuum), flooding procedure, squeegee angle, printing speed, printing pressure and off-contact

47、 distance. 4.4.3 Drying The method of drying (e.g. ambient temperature, infrared, hot air or radiation-curing) shall be agreed upon between parties and recorded. NOTE For radiation curing printing inks, an appropriate time interval between printing and curing might be necessary. ISO 2834-3:2008(E) I
