The thread counter was originally invented to check fabrics in weaving mills. Nowadays Thread Counters are used by stamp collectors, art collectors or coin collectors for precise measurements or to check the quality or authenticity. In the printing industry, the art of printing and the graphic design industry, thread counters are widely used to test the print quality in digital and screen printing or to compare the accuracy of the colours. The precision instrument can also be used to verify the distances between barcodes.
