Opacity Tester: Measuring Light Transmission

An opacity tester is a device used to measure the amount of light that can pass through a material. It's often used in industries like plastics manufacturing, printing, and textile production to assess the transparency or opacity of various materials.  

How Does an Opacity Tester Work?

Light Source: The tester emits a specific wavelength of light, often in the visible or near-infrared spectrum.  

2. Sample Placement: The material to be tested is placed between the light source and a detector.  

3. Light Detection: The detector measures the amount of light that passes through the material and reaches it.  

4. Calculation: The tester calculates the opacity based on the ratio of transmitted light to incident light. A higher opacity percentage indicates a more opaque material.

Common Applications of Opacity Testers

Plastics: Assessing the clarity of films, sheets, and other plastic products.  

Printing: Measuring the ink coverage and opacity of printed materials.

Textiles: Evaluating the transparency or opacity of fabrics.

Food and Beverage: Analyzing the clarity of liquids like juices and beverages.

Pharmaceuticals: Testing the clarity of glass containers and pharmaceutical products.

Airprint iOS Tutorial

With Airprint-enabled printers it is possible to print wireless from an iPhone or an iPad. In this tutorial the text within a Text View will be printed. This tutorial is made with Xcode 10 and built for iOS 12.

Project Setup

Open Xcode and create a new Single View App.

For product name, use IOSAirPrintTutorial and then fill out the Organization Name and Organization Identifier with your customary values. Enter Swift as Language and choose Next.

To test the AirPrint ability we need to install the Printer Simulator. Go to developer.apple.com/downloads/and download Additional Tools for the current Xcode Release

Open the Printer Simulator. The Simulator has some virtual printers included which we can use in our application.

Storyboard

Go to the Storyboard and drag a Text View to the main view. Also drag a button to the main view and place it below the Text View. Set the button's title to Print.

Select the Resolve Auto Layout Issues button and select Reset to Suggested Constraints.

The Storyboard should look like this.

Outlet and Action Connections

Select the Assistant Editor and make sure the ViewController.swift is visible. Ctrl and drag from the Ter Text View to the ViewController class and create the following Outlet

Ctrl and drag from the Button to the ViewController class and create the following Action.

Code Implementation 

Implement the printText method

@IBAction func printText(_ sender: Any) { // 1 let printController = UIPrintInteractionController.shared // 2 let printInfo = UIPrintInfo(dictionary:nil) printInfo.outputType = .general printInfo.jobName = "print Job" printController.printInfo = printInfo // 3 let formatter = UIMarkupTextPrintFormatter(markupText: textView.text) formatter.perPageContentInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 72, left: 72, bottom: 72, right: 72) printController.printFormatter = formatter // 4 printController.present(animated: true, completionHandler: nil) }

The UIPrintInteractionController presents the user interface and manages the printing.

The UIPrintinfo object contains information about the print job, This information is assigned to the printInfo property of the UIPrintInteractionController.

The printing text can be formatted. here we define the insets for the printing page

The user is presented the iPhone printing interface to select a printer and the number of copies

Run Project

Build and Run the project. Select the Print Button and choose a printer.
