The Taber® Crockmeter - Model 418 provides a quick and accurate method to determine the amount of color transferred from textile materials (such as fabric, carpeting, yarn and leather) to other surfaces by rubbing.  The Crockmeter has also been employed to perform rub abrasion, scuff and / or mar tests on flat specimens.  Plus, it can be used to conduct smudge and smear resistance tests on images produced by a printer or copier.  Regardless of specimen material, both wet and dry testing can be performed.
