Opacity is a fundamental part of the visual perception of paper products. When adding pigments and dyes to control or meet your opacity specifications, an accurate and industry standard test is critical.
Opacity is a paper property that describes its translucency and how see through it is. Opacity is an essential part of the testing process when text needs to be clear and legible, or when it’s important that print on one side of the paper doesn’t show through to the other.
Our guide to measuring paper opacity contains additional useful information.
There are several internationally recognized standards for paper opacity testing that our Technidyne opacity tester meets, these include ASTM D589 and TAPPI T425.
A standard testing method for paper opacity is TAPPI T425, which can determine both contrast ratio and printing opacity, depending on the backing paper used during the testing process.
ASTM D589 is another standard paper opacity testing method, which is carried out using one of two white backing papers to determine two different opacity values.
The true innovation of the Technidyne TEST/Plus® TAPPI Opacity is its adaptive interface. Built on the Android software platform, the interface can be customized with the features and capabilities important to you. This means you can tailor your paper opacity testing to perfectly suit your needs – whatever they are.
Once you have accurately established your evaluations, you can set process parameters for testing your paper and packaging. With TEST/Plus® TAPPI Opacity, you’ll have an opacity testing tool that will allow you to evaluate and optimize your system.
TEST/Plus® TAPPI Opacity also boasts a series of specially developed APPS that allow for complete control of your data. This means you also have control of how you interface with the instrument and how it integrates with your operation. The apps include:
