A proven abrasion testing instrument, the SUTHERLAND® Ink Rub tester has been the industry standard for decades. It is designed to evaluate the scuffing or rubbing resistance of the printed or coated surface of paper, paperboard, film and other materials. The SUTHERLAND® Ink Rub tester features a digital counter with a fiber optic sensor for accuracy and is compatible with the requirements of the ASTM D-5264 test method.

The SUTHERLAND® Ink Rub Tester performs five different tests: dry rub, wet rub, wet bleed or transfer, wet smear and functional rub.
