58-06 Parker Print Surf (PPS)
A microprocessor- controlled instrument which performs high speed, precision measurements of paper surface roughness.
INTRODUCTION
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.
