"Little Joe"; Model H; One Color

"Little Joe"; Model HD; TwoColor

Used mostly by lithographic ink makers, UV flexo ink makers, and printers to check the color of their ink formulations the Little Joe is also used for research and development, and quality control by the ink maker.

Suppliers to the ink industry such as pigment manufacturers can check their raw materials by printing samples of ink made with their product.

Companies who sell other products to the ink and printing industries such as paper and overcoat varnish manufacturers can also benefit by checking their own products and how they interact with ink on the printed sheet.
