Automatic pressure press NIP-AIP6800 - Application:

The Automatic pressure press NIP-AIP6800 It serves for the reproducible production of color proofs for evaluating color transfer, color uniformity, gloss, drying behavior, and substrate compatibility. The test method is based on a precisely controlled, motorized paint application, which completely eliminates manual variability and a standardized, scientifically sound color assessment made possible.

1. Testing principle

In the proofing process, a defined amount of printing ink or coating is applied between Paint roller, printing roller and substrate transferred. The NIP-AIP6800 performs this process. fully automatic out of:

• constant roller speeds

• defined contact force

• reproducible oscillation

• precisely controlled contact time

• constant temperature conditions

These controlled parameters create a standardized color print, which serves as the basis for analytical and visual inspections.

2. Sample preparation

1. The printing ink is homogenized and adjusted to the defined viscosity.

2. The substrate (paper, cardboard, foil, special material) is inserted without tension.

3. The desired roller configuration (e.g. 2-color, 3-color or 4-color segment roller) is mounted.

4. Test parameters such as Speed, oscillation, Contact mode and Pressure are set via the electronic control panel.

3. Automatic test procedure

After startup, the NIP-AIP6800 performs the entire printing process independently:

• The ink roller oscillates at the preset frequency.

• The contact force is regulated by the integrated precision motor.

• The machine produces a uniform, reproducible color film on the substrate.

• The electronic control system monitors all parameters in real time.

This automated process prevents typical manual errors such as:

• uneven pressure

• varying speed

• imprecise contact times

• Operator influence due to fatigue or deviations from routine

4. Evaluation of the color print

The generated pressure serves as the basis for:

• Color intensity analysis

• Gloss Measurement

• Coverage rating

• Determining drying time

• Rheological investigations

• Substrate compatibility

• Comparison of recipes and batches

The high reproducibility of the NIP-AIP6800 enables statistically reliable test series, which are essential for research, development and quality assurance.

5. Advantages of the automated testing method

• Elimination of operator influence

• Highest repeatability

• Precise control of all process parameters

• Reproducible color prints for laboratory and production

• Compatible with offset, flexographic and UV printing inks

• Ideal for formulation development, batch release and failure analysis

6. Norms & Industry Standards

The NIP-AIP6800 testing method is based on international guidelines of the printing ink and coatings industry, including:

• Methods for color output testing

• Methods for gloss and hue evaluation

• Industry standards for printing ink rheology

• Laboratory methods for substrate testing

(All formulations are generic and therefore completely copyright-safe.)

Overview

The Automatic pressure press NIP-AIP6800 enables scientifically precise, reproducible and standardized color assessment. Through the complete automation of all critical parameters, it delivers highly standardized proofs, which are indispensable for research, development and quality assurance.
