ASTM F362-91(2005)

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the erasability of inked ribbons.

1.2 Results are expressed in visual ranking order or in comparison to a control.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

This test method is used to compare the relative erasability of similar ribbons having approximately the same amount (degree) of ink (inking) transfer capability. It is suitable for compiling rankings for comparative testing against a control ribbon for service evaluation and quality control (research).
