Scope and common interpretation errors
For printed and coated appearance acceptance using a project-agreed method.
Dry, wet and cleaner-assisted rubbing act differently. Gloss loss or edge damage may precede illegibility; cycle count alone explains little.
Turn the review into recorded checks
| Step | Action and evidence |
|---|---|
| 1 · Define the test combination | Specify head material, contact area, load, stroke and liquid use. |
| 2 · Set inspection stages | Photograph initial, intermediate and final states, assessing legend, coating and substrate separately. |
| 3 · Align visual criteria | Use physical limit samples or illustrations for readability and damage limits before testing. |
A comparison to avoid misinterpretation
Equal cycle counts with a dry cloth and a cleaner-wetted cloth cannot be combined into one wear-resistance claim.
Frequently asked question
Can a lighter rubbing load be used for a passing retest?
Only an agreed method change can support acceptance.
