1、Designation: F 396 00 (Reapproved 2004)Standard Practice forComparing One-Time Noncorrectable Typewriter Ribbons1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 396; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of

2、 last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice provides information and techniques forevaluating several performance qualities of one-time noncor-rec

3、table typewriter ribbons on a comparative basis for generaloffice use, but not for specialized applications such as opticalcharacter recognition (OCR), data terminals, etc.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibilit

6、f testing one-timenoncorrectable ribbons under actual- and simulated-use typeconditions, employing an automatic or robot typewriter, andseveral use-simulating techniques generally accepted in thisindustry. All tests must be run in duplicate under the sameconditions so that comparative results are ob

7、tained.4. Significance and Use4.1 This practice can be used to evaluate various propertiesof one-time noncorrectable ribbons on a comparative basis.These properties include write, flake-off, heat stability, bleed-through, offset master erasability, reproduction, unintentionaltransfer, and general qu

8、ality, that is, splices, skips, and holes incoating, offset to back of ribbon, and transfer to fingers.4.2 This practice is suitable for comparative service evalu-ation and research and development. This practice may not bepractical for manufacturing control because of time required torun some of th

Apparatus and Materials5.1 Electric Typewriter, which can be used in conjunctionwith a robot device (or can be programmed) that has beenadjusted in accordance with the instructions supplied by themanufacturer.5.2 Reflection Densitometer, meeting the geometric condi-tions of PH2.17 and the

16、ven at 120 6 2F (49 61C) at 40 % relative humidity for 48 h.8.3.2 After stabilization at 73 6 2F (236 1C) for 6 h,examine for loose cores, loose leaders, visible distortion,adhesion between layers, material transfer, and changes inwrite and flake-off in accordance with 8.1 and 8.2.8.4 Bleed-Through

17、(Cover-up Fluid, Tape, or Tabs):8.4.1 Treat separate standard write samples with cover-upfluid. Cover others with correction tape, and correct othersusing correction tabs.8.4.2 Compare after 5 min and again after 24 h with othersamples and untreated portions for bleeding and coverage.8.5 Offset Mast

Use theprepared masters in 8.6.8.6 Reproduction:8.6.1 After typing age each master for a minimum period of1 h. Prepare the master and the offset press using the chemic

Remove the master and store for 24h.8.6.3 Compare copies from each ribbon for freedom fromfilling, and for cleanliness, sharpness, and legibility. Record

Thesection should be firmly held in place directly under the centerswing of the weighted arm.8.7.2.1 Tape two 1 by 2-in. pieces of 1/8-in. polyethylenefoam to each end of the bottom of the 4-lb weight of the RubTester. Adhere two 1 by 2-in. pieces of Buehler

22、 PolishingCloth, No. 4C-7228. Carefully place the weight onto thesection of paper with the polishing cloth resting on the typedimpressions. (Replace cloth when visual smudging occurswhen using a clean piece of paper.)8.7.2.2 Lock the weight into the radius arm, set the timer torun for ten cycles, ru
