Industry Standards for X-rite White Opacity Measurement

Post by Bryan.Steyn »

I'm looking to benchmark our Solvent Based White Opacity standards against the industry norm.
We run Sun Chem Solvent based White with GTT XL with 3M E1820/E1720 tape. Our plates are also imaged with a microcell pattern.
For one white, opacity results are averaging between 50% & 55% when measured on the X-rite. Double white between 55% & 60%
Any feedback on industry norms for opacity on single & double whites would be appreciated.
Thanks
