1.2 This practice is applicable to images produced from business imaging products such as typewriters, copiers, impact printers, and nonimpact printers.

1.3 Other test methods using the Crockmeter, Sutherland rub tester, and Taber Abrader can be employed to evaluate smudge and abrasion characteristics. The results obtained by these units are not necessarily equivalent to those obtained with the GA-CAT.
