Material Testing Suite
Welcome to our Material Testing Suite!
The Material Testing Suite is designed to test all types of material. With our fully equipped testing labs with the latest printers, we are able to gather valuable information. Whether your material is still in the development phase or in production phase.
We have developed the Material Testing Suite in which we offer 4 types of packages: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. Each package includes additional tests to provide you with more in-depth information about the material. The report with the test results will show if your material is performing the way it should be.

Standard Print Test
Standard Print Test
The Standard Print Test is a test file developed by Color Concepts to detect printing issues. However, we can also perform the Standard Print Test on your own test file.
Additional test choices
Folding / Creasing test
During transportation, a lot can happen that could affect the print. We test the quality of the material by testing what a material has to go through when it is folded while being transported.
Scratchability test
Dry Rub test
Wet Rub (water)
Ink adhesion test
Crosshatch test
This test can be performed in addition to the ink adhesion tape test. By making small cuts in the ink layer, we are able to check the adhesion and also see if chipping occurs. Mainly critical for UV inks.
Shrinkage test
Rewetting test

Gamut report
If you choose the Platinum package you will receive a Gamut Report based on the profile we made. The report will show you how many colors the profile can print on your material. The volume of the gamut and the possible amount of Pantone colors you are able to print is included as well. We designed the Gamut Report to provide you with a good indication of the profile quality. You will also be able to compare another material or ink type, to see how your material is performing.
