Amsterdam

The IGT Amsterdam multi-purpose printability tester elevates printability testing to the next level — delivering unmatched precision, repeatability, and insight for R&D and quality control in the printing, ink, paper, and packaging industries.

  • Versatile & Multi-Purpose — Simulate real-world printing techniques (offset, flexo, gravure, and more) on a single, highly automated platform. Choose from models with 1 to 6 printing shafts (e.g., Amsterdam 2, 5, or 6) to match your exact testing needs and maximize flexibility.
  • Fully Automated for Error-Free Operation — Every step is computer-controlled: disc positioning, pressure application, speed profiles (constant or ramping), timing, and more. This eliminates manual variations, user mistakes, and operator-to-operator differences — ensuring consistent, reproducible results every time.
  • Next-Level Analysis with Optional Camera & Software — Integrated high-resolution camera and powerful analysis software remove subjective operator bias. Automatically evaluate key print quality parameters (density, mottling, rub-off, strike-through, etc.) with objective, data-driven precision — turning raw prints into actionable insights instantly.
  • User-Friendly & Efficient — Intuitive interface makes complex tests simple to run. Pre-programmed methods mean minimal training, faster throughput, and reliable outcomes — even for demanding R&D protocols or routine QC checks.

Easy to operate. Fully automated. Consistently reliable results.

New: IGT Sense Precision Monitoring

Enhance test accuracy and traceability with the IGT Sense, a high-precision temperature and relative humidity sensor designed specifically for the IGT Amsterdam.

  • From software version 1.9.1 onward, the system automatically logs temperature and RH data from the IGT Sense during every test.
  • Meet strict standards and regulations that require documented environmental conditions — no manual entry needed.

Whether you are developing new inks, optimizing substrates, troubleshooting print defects, or ensuring batch-to-batch consistency, the IGT Amsterdam sets the standard for modern printability testing.
