Description : Rub resistance describes the ability of printed material to withstand marking, scuffing or smudge during handling in conversion, packaging, transportation, distribution and use. QT-IRT simulates a similar environment to test the rub resistance on printed materials. It is used to analyze the life of label by creating actual environment of application to evaluate abrasion resistance of surface coating layer of printed material. It simulates the actual working environment of product and helps to identify the quality and printing method to be used for printing of label based on application of product and its working environment.
