1、Designation:D501008a1Standard Guide forTesting Printing Inks and Related Materials1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5010;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parent
2、heses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTEEditorial changes were made in Table 1 and Table 2 in May 2009.1.Scope*1.1 This guide covers a list of test methods,practices,andspecifications that can be used
3、for the testing and evaluation ofprinting inks,printed ink films,and substrates used in theirproduction(see Table 1).1.2 This guide includes methods that were developed to testpaints,paint films,and substrates,but may be adapted for usein testing printing inks and printed matter.Tests on rawmaterial
4、s and analytical methods in general have not beenincluded.Tests for printing ink vehicles are covered in GuideD6687.NOTE1For the purpose of this guide,clear coatings such as overprintvarnishes are classed as printing inks.1.3 Other ASTM standards not specified here may also beapplicable.2.Referenced
