Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the IGT-Heliotest Printability Tester. The recommendation to evaluate this test was based on the results of a correlation study of six different printability tests. The IGT-Heliotest was the only test of the six that conformed to the theoretical model developed during this study.¹

As a result of this study, the IGT-Heliotest will be purchased by Kellogg's; with the expectation of significantly improving Quality Assurance's acceptance program for gravure carton board.
