Rub resistance plays a pivotal role in determining the suitability of various printed materials, such as packaging, banknotes, for subsequent processing, mailing, and other purposes. This critical factor is influenced by specific properties of inks, paper, paperboard, plastic foils, spray powders, and dampening liquids. Consequently, conducting tests on rub resistance is essential for printers, processors, manufacturers of ink and substrates, and, importantly, end users.

The Quartant Abrasion Tester stands out as a practical and robust instrument, delivering objective and reproducible test results. Designed to simulate normal stresses on printed products, this instrument operates seamlessly and is user-friendly, making it an invaluable tool for those involved in the printing and manufacturing industry.
