- Ink Adhesion Testing
Ink adhesion is critical for consistent, long-lasting decoration. We analyze surface properties of plastics and other substrates to determine the best ink and process combination.
- Water test: water beads → low surface energy → potential adhesion issues
- Sheeting: water spreads → good adhesion
- Dyne testing for precise predictions on ink behavior
