Parker Print Surf (PPS)
For accurately measuring the surface roughness of sheet materials under conditions similar to those experienced during the printing process.
Developed from Dr. John Parker’s original method, the Parker Print-Surf (PPS) is designed to accurately measure the surface roughness of sheet materials under conditions similar to those experienced during the printing process.
The sample is clamped between a precision engineered measuring head and a specifically designed backing assembly. It provides the information you need to avoid time-consuming, costly printing problems.
