6、the degree to which another materialcan abrade the surface of the test specimen.3.1.3 Ink jet mediarefer to recording elements used by inkjet printers to receive inks. The substrate may be paper, plastic,canvas, fabric, or other ink receptive material. The substratemay, or may not, be coated with an

8、 test. An example of a receptor is a fine grade crocuscloth or the backside of the inkjet media being evaluated.3.1.6 scuffnggloss change of ink jet media under appliedpressure.4. Summary of Practice4.1 The inkjet media is mounted on top of the rubber pad onthe Sutherland base and the receptor is cu

9、t to fit the 0.91-kg(2-lb) or the 1.81-kg (4-lb) weight (depending on which one isbeing used). The receptor is mounted to the weight. Thespecimen is rubbed for a total of approximately 10 cycles (20strokes) at a rate of 43 cycle/min, where a cycle is oneback-and-forth stroke. The number of cycles is

10、 preset on theSutherland Timer. The weight is mounted on the Sutherlandand the machine is turned on. The Sutherland will shut offautomatically when the desired number of cycles is completed.4.2 The test specimen is removed from the Sutherland baseand examined for degree of print degradation by measu

11、ring thechange in gloss, density, or change in physical appearance. Thereceptor is analyzed for the amount of ink or coating trans-ferred from the specimen. Results are compared to an untestedspecimen.5. Significance and Use5.1 Abrasion resistance is a desirable and sometimes criticalproperty of pri

12、nted materials. Abrasion damage can occurduring shipment, storage, handling, and end use. The result isa significant decrease in product appearance and legibility ofproduct information. The amount of abrasion damage to aprinted substrate is dependent on shipping conditions, possiblytemperature and h

13、umidity, time, and many other variables. Thispractice provides a way of comparing abrasion resistance ofprinted materials under laboratory conditions.5.2 This practice also can be used to evaluate the relativeabrasion and scuff resistance of printed and unprinted inkjetmedia.1This practice is under

14、the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F05 on BusinessImaging Producers and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F05.07 onInk-Jet Imaging Products.Current edition approved June 1, 2005.

16、onably simple procedurethat can be used by both the buyer and the seller of printedmaterials to determine if the product offered for sale meetssome predetermined standard for abrasion or scuff resistance.6. Interferences6.1 Since the abrasion resistance of inkjet inks and mediamay be dependent on te

17、mperature and humidity, it is importantthat the measurements be made under the conditions appropri-ate to the end use applications6.2 Abrasion resistance should be measured within thetemperature and humidity ranges specified by the printer ormedia manufacturer.6.3 The abrasion resistance of printed

18、inkjet media isdependent on the printing mode, the type of color, and theamount of applied ink.6.4 Microporous ink jet media tends to be particularlysensitive to scuffing.7. Apparatus7.1 Sutherland Rub Tester, as specified in Practice D 5264.8. Materials8.1 Standard receptors cut to fit the Sutherla

19、nd ReceptorBlock minimum of 51 by 102 mm (2 by 4 in.) and fastenedwith double-sided pressure-sensitive tape such that it coversthe entire bottom surface of the block. An appropriate receptorshould be selected in accordance with 9.2.8.1.1 Unprinted sheet of substrate,8.1.2 Printed sheet of substrate,

20、8.1.3 Double-sided Pressure-sensitive tape or any double-sided tape suitable for holding the sample without interferingwith the operation of the tester.9. Preparation of Apparatus9.1 Set the Sutherland Rub Tester on a sturdy bench,preferably in a room conditioned at about 23C (73.4F) and50 % relativ

21、e humidity.9.2 If test criteria have not been specified, select an appro-priate receptor by running an agreed-upon reference materialfor the number of strokes required to achieve a visible level ofdegradation.10. Specimen Preparation and Conditioning10.1 The specimen should preferably be a flat samp

22、le withno scoring, ridges, or other surface irregularities. Further, intesting multiple samples, it is important that each has compa-rable, if not identical, ink coverage and ink density.10.2 The method of printing, ink, ink laydown, and han-dling of printed samples shall be consistent with the anti

23、cipatedend use.10.3 The test image may be generated with personal com-puter word processing, drawing/graphics, or page layout soft-ware, saved as a print file for each printer/method of printing(contributing its unique ink and ink/receiver interactions thatmay impact drying time), trial-printed, and

24、 evaluated forappropriate ink letdown (purity and amount) and ease ofprinting and testing. Each print file should have its filename,type, and version identified in the image area and a place forexperimental notes (such as, time, printer, environmentalconditions, operator). The printer settings and a

25、 trial print ofeach print file version should be archived.10.4 An unprinted sample and a sample with the test imageconsisting of a solid color patch of cyan, magenta, yellow, red,green, blue, and black ink shall be tested. The printed sampleshould be allowed to dry for 24 h prior to testing.10.5 Cut

26、 the specimen 76 by 152 mm (3 by 6 in.) wheneverpossible. Smaller samples may be tested as long as they aremounted to a 76 by 152-mm (3 by 6-in.) template.10.6 Care should be taken to avoid contaminating thesample with fingerprints during handling.10.7 Condition the specimen at 23C (73.4F) and 50%re

27、lative humidity unless otherwise agreed upon.10.8 Prior to testing the specimens, measure the density ofcolors, surface gloss at 20 and 60 degrees and examine thephysical appearance of the specimens.11. Procedure11.1 Mount a 76 by 152-mm (3 by 6-in.) rubber pad both ontop of the Sutherland base as w

28、ell as to the bottom face of thedetectable receptor block.NOTE 1This pad will need periodic replacing as the rubber becomesbrittle due to oxidation or if the rubber wears off the pad. This periodicreplacing is also true of the pads that come with the Sutherland receptorweight. Failure to replace wor

29、n pads could result in distorted test results.The pad face should be uniformly flat (level) with a Shore A durometer of1565.NOTE 2For scuff resistance softer pads are recommended.11.2 Attach the test specimen to the rubber pad on theSutherland base with the test surface face exposed.11.3 Attach the

30、receptor to the receptor block. Receptors cutto a 178-mm length (51-mm width) can be held in place by theclamps on the sides of the block, while shorter receptors(minimum of 102-mm length) should be held in place bypressure-sensitive double-sided tape.NOTE 3The choice of receptor block weight is bas

31、ed on the type ofsubstrate and ink being tested. The heavier weight, 1.82 kg (4.0 lb), isappropriate for samples that experience severe shipping and handlingconditions. The receptor may be the backside of the test specimen, acrocus cloth, or another abrasive material.11.4 Lightly brush the sample an

32、d receptor with a camelshair anti-static brush to remove any potentially abrasiveparticles from the surface.11.5 Place the block in the receptor block holder.11.6 Preset the dial on the Sutherland Rub Tester to thedesired number of strokes.11.7 Turn the Sutherland on. It will automatically shut offw

33、hen the preset number of strokes has been completed.11.8 Repeat 11.1-11.8 with each test specimen.12. Evaluation12.1 Examine each specimen for degree of degradation andeach receptor for the amount of coating or ink, or both,transferred from the specimen.12.2 Measure the density of colors and the 20

34、and 60 degreegloss of the specimens after the Rub Test (average of 3measurements) and record the density and gloss change fromthe measurement prior to rubbing.F249705212.3 Report test conditions and results for abrasion usingpredetermined criteria established by the interested parties.13. Report13.1

35、 Report the following information13.1.1 Sample identification, including the printer, methodof printing, and the media type.13.1.2 The change in density and gloss after rubbing thesample.13.1.3 Any change in physical appearance or receptormaterial.14.
