Abstract
A paper machine analyzer and a rotogravure test printing
machine was installed at VTT Technical Research Centre of
Finland during 2001. Trials in pilot scale and in
production scale constitute an important part in
production development. The differences between the trial
papers are determined by various quality criteria. With
printing papers, printability is an important quality
parameter. Usually, because of the high investment cost
of gravure printing machines, most evaluations in the
industry for gravure papers are done based on traditional
paper measurements. However at VTT the rotogravure
printing machine prints from reel to reel, which enables
the print trial points to be even hundreds of meters
long. This completely new type of research service is
based on natural paper variation, maximizing the
statistical scope of the results.
