This part of ISO 2834 specifies a test method for preparation of test prints produced with liquid waterbased
or solvent-based printing inks as used in flexography and gravure printing. These test prints are
intended primarily for optical tests, such as gloss, colorimetry, transparency and reflection density.
They can also be used for testing light fastness and the chemical, physical and mechanical resistance
to mechanical and chemical attack regarding either printing ink and/or substrate. Fl...view more
