Причина отмены This practice covers methods that can be used to determine the stain resistance of an image produced by an ink jet printer. Stain resistance is determined by placing a staining agent on printed patches and visually observing a change to the patches after the staining agent has been removed.

Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee F05 on Business Imaging Products, this practice was withdrawn in May 2016 in accordance with section 10.6.3 of the Regulations Governing ASTM Technical Committees, which requires that standards shall be updated by the end of the eighth year since the last approval date.

Значение и использование

This procedure may be used to determine how staining agents will affect color images produced by ink jet printers.

Five different staining agents are used to determine stain resistance, mustard (yellow), coffee (black), cola, fruit punch, and water. Additional stains may be used as appropriate.

The effect of the staining agent on the print patches is determined visually.

Test results are useful for specification acceptance between producer and user, for quality control, and for research and product development.
