1、Designation: F 1033 00 (Reapproved 2004)Standard Test Method forComparing Lift-Off Correction Media1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 1033; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revisi
2、on. 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 test method provides information and test proce-dures for evaluating several performance qualities of type-writer or printe
3、r lift-off correction tapes and tabs on a com-parative basis for general office use.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and

7、ary of Test Method4.1 This test method consists of testing typewriter andprinter lift-off correction tapes and tabs under actual andsimulated use conditions, using several techniques generallyaccepted in the inked ribbon industry. All tests should beperformed under the same conditions so that compar
8、ativeresults may be obtained.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method may be used to evaluate severalperformance characteristics of typewriter and printer lift-offcorrection media on a comparative basis.5.2 This test method is suitable for comparative serviceevaluation and research and developmen
9、t.5.3 This test method is suitable for manufacturing controlon a limited basis, due to the length of time required for sometests.6. Interferences6.1 The capability of the typewriter or printer to registerproperly in initial impact and correction mode will affect theresults of this test procedure. A
10、properly adjusted machine isnecessary to obtain reproducible results.6.2 Different typewriters and printers with varying typefonts may give different results. For the widest range ofacceptability, use different typewriters and printers with vari-ous type fonts. Similarly, a variety of test papers ma
11、y be usedto increase the applicability of this procedure.7.
