Pick Test
The de-lamination of the paper surface while printing is called picking. Papers with lower surface strength lead to fluff accumulation and cause the blankets to need cleaning more often. The velocity at which the paper shows the first sign of picking is measured. A higher pick velocity indicates a higher quality paper substrate, and offers better runnability and productivity in the press.
