1.1This test method covers a procedure for determining the amount of image abraded from the surface of a document.
1.2This test method may be used to evaluate the abrasion resistance of images produced by business imaging products, including nonimpact printers, thermal transfer printers, and copiers. The machine shall be capable of producing the specified image.
1.3Testing focuses on determining the amount of imaged material removed, resulting from forces which impart a rubbing or grinding action principally on the top surface of the image.
1.4Comparison may be made between various imaging devices or the image-producing components of an individual machine.
1.5Other test methods employing the Crockmeter (Test Method F1319), Sutherland Rub Tester, and Gavarti GA-CAT may be employed to evaluate the smudge and abrasion characteristics. Results by these test methods are not necessarily equivalent to those obtained by this test method.
