IGT and International Standardisation IGT is active in several Working Groups and Technical Committees to promote better international standardisation and to provide the members in the Working Groups with first-hand information about the real capabilities of the test equipment. IGT has the convenorship in ISO TC6-SC2-WG21 for printability and TAPPI PPQC pick testing as well as several participations in other working groups as technical expert. With reference to the IGT printability testers there is already a large range of methods written in several organisations. Most of these are based on the well known IGT W-information leaflets which you can\u00a0 download by clicking on the W-number in one of the following tables.\u00a0 Below is a list of the current standardized methods and the organisation where the standard or method can be acquired.<\/p>\n

(The mentioned standards and methods can not be made available by IGT Testing Systems but have to be ordered through the issuing organisations or through your local national standard organisation.)<\/p>\n

Global Standard Testers<\/h3>\n

Tests with the IGT printability testers are described in detail in the so-called W-leaflets. The W-leaflets you find below can be downloaded free of charge.<\/p>\n

For each type of printability tester there are differences in the way in which a test is carried out. These documents can be downloaded and read using Adobe\u2122 Acrobat Reader\u2122, a free copy can be downloaded from the\u00a0Adobe\u2122<\/a>\u00a0website.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1552660518045{margin-top: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_text]\u00a0W21 Scumming test<\/a>
