  2. Profile/Plus Formation

    Profile/Plus Formation
    The visual appearance of paper has for many years been the first indication to the paper maker and the consumer alike of the relative quality of the product. If only there was a way to not only guarantee the best formation every time, but also to quantify differences in formation over different scales. This is the concept behind the PROFILE/Plus™ Formation instrument. It uses technology that has been developed to give a clearer picture of paper formation. These 10 scales of formation give a much more accurate indication of paper formation than most single number testers. There is a new technique partitions formation into different scales. It can give a better understanding of how formation quality affects sheet properties and provides more detailed information than conventional optical formation techniques. The PROFILE/Plus™ Formation easily compares results to a 'production standard or to 'perfect paper and is more consistent and reliable than visual assessments.
