Ink Measurement With DSA 5000 M And Lovis 2000 ME

Anton Paar provides the ink industry with numerous measuring instruments to ensure the quality of ink and to support the developments of new ink formulations. One prominent system dedicated for this job is the DSA 5000 M density and sound velocity meter combined with the Lovis 2000 ME rolling-ball viscometer module.

Knowing the density, the sound velocity, and the viscosity of ink is of great importance for ink producers because these physical properties provide important information on quality and utilizability of the raw material and the final product. Especially sound velocity measurements on ink represent an easy way to check on the purity of the raw material and the resonance homogeneity of ink.
