The measurement of the Rz value to evaluate surface roughness was first researched and applied to screen making and screen printing by KIWO. Today, the Rz value is a standard measurement accepted all over the world, and it provides critical information about the stencil’s surface roughness.

KIWO does not currently offer a Rz meter (profilometer) to measure stencil surface roughness.

We recommend asking your distributor who may offer an RZ-meter or visiting www.mitutoyo.com and navigate to the Surftest SJ-201 page.
