The Gloss Measurement GL4265 - The ABB Gloss Measurement is an optical-based device which provides accurate measurements in a continuous, on-line scanning mode. The sensor utilizes a measurement principle which simulates the human eye's perception of gloss and is in accordance with TAPPI standards.
Gloss is a measure of the optical reflectance of the paper surface. Since gloss is important for visual impact and is a significant component of paper printability, it is an essential measurement parameter for the producers of fine, coated and super-calendered papers, publication grades and coated board.
The ABB Gloss Measurement GL4265 uses a proven measurement technique, correlated to TAPPI standards, to accurately determine sheet gloss. It is the first sensor to thoroughly address key areas affecting on-line gloss measurement, such as standardization and passline sensitivity.
