In an industry where high-performance films and complex ink formulations are the new standard, “close enough” is no longer an option. For years, the printing and converting industry has relied on standard 2-point increments (38, 40, 42…) to measure surface tension.
At Kolorguide, we call this “Low-Resolution Testing.” Today, we are proud to introduce a game-changer for quality control in Argentina and Peru: The Hi-Res Dyne Testing Series.
What is Hi-Res Dyne Testing? Just as a high-resolution image provides more detail, our Hi-Res series provides 1.0-point increments (30, 31, 32, 33…). This eliminates the “Grey Area” between standard values, giving you surgical precision over your substrate’s energy levels.
Why Upgrade to Hi-Res?
Zero Blind Spots: Identify the exact failure point (e.g., exactly at 39 dynes) that a standard 38/40 test would miss.
Optimized Treatment: Save energy and material costs by hitting the exact dyne level required—no more, no less.
R&D Ready: Perfect for laboratories that need to meet strict ISO and technical data sheet (TDS) specifications.
The Hi-Res Collections: We have organized our new system into three specialized stages and one comprehensive Master Set:
- Hi-Res Stage 1 (30–41): The foundation for base polymers.
- Hi-Res Stage 2 (42–53): Precision for high-speed printing.
- Hi-Res Stage 3 (54–72): Advanced testing for metals and glass.
- The Master Set (30–72): 43 pens for total laboratory control.
Don’t let a 1-point error ruin your production. Switch to Hi-Res.
