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.

Famous quotes containing the words pick and/or test:
“The well-educated young woman of 1950 will blend art and sciences in a way we do not dream of; the science will steady the art and the art will give charm to the science. This young woman will marry—yes, indeed, but she will take her pick of men, who will by that time have begun to realize what sort of men it behooves them to be.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
“Unless the people can choose their leaders and rulers, and can revoke their choice at intervals long enough to test their measures by results, the government will be a tyranny exercised in the interests of whatever classes or castes or mobs or cliques have this choice.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
