Ink Thickness And Ink Density

Improved Essays
2.4 Optical density Yang, Gao & Jiang (2012) investigated Study on the Relationships between the Optical Density and Ink Film Thickness Based on the Offset Overprint Trapping. D=D∞ (1-e-ml) formula represents the relationship between ink thickness and ink density. By using the formal of one-color ink thickness and ink density, the second density that corresponds the first major density is transferred to the equal thickness. Then they are added together. The experiment was carried out using 128 & 157 GSM art matt paper, 60 & 100 GSM offset paper; and Offset glossy and quick-drying ink of TGS brand. Papers were printed with different color and 10 different volume inks. Primary colors were overprinted in sequence CY; MY and CM. Then various primary …show more content…
Paper surface efficiency formula which integrates gloss, ink absorbency and whiteness was first presented and it was assumed that change of these principle paper properties would affect color reproduction. This experiment was conducted with the help of papers: Chenming double-sided gloss coated papers with 250 g/m2, 200 g/m2, Chenming double-sided matt coated papers with 128 g/m2 and 105 g/m2, Dongfan double-sided gloss coated papers 128 g/m2, Daewoo double-sided coated paper 157 g/m2, Huaxia double-sided coated paper 128 g/m2, Yatai lightweight coated paper with 80 g/m2 and 60 g/m2 ; and magenta and cyan ink of sheet-fed offset printing. The WSB-Ⅱdigital whiteness meter, the NOVO-Gloss gloss meter, the YM-20 K&N ink absorbency tester, the C1-5IGT printability tester and the 528 spectrophotometer were used as instruments. Paper samples were treated at 22-230 C, 50-55% relative humidity for 24 hours. Then whiteness, gloss and ink absorbency were tested. These paper samples were printed with magenta and cyan ink with same ink density as that of ink printed on different paper samples. Results were compared after 24 hours to obtain a …show more content…
When the ink layer on paper is too thin, it is caused by less printing pressure and less amount of ink is transferred. The central position of plate cylinder is moved to change the pressure between the plate cylinder and the blanket cylinder. Center distance between the plate cylinder and the blanket cylinder is controlled by gear system driving each other. Screen tone graphics are distorted when the printing pressure is too big. To achieve the optimum amount of screen tone and adequate amount of ink transfer, ideal pressure should be determined. If the printing pressure is too much or too less center distance between the plate cylinder and the blanket cylinder is regulated. Machine component dimensions are changed depending upon distance required between the plate cylinder and blanket cylinder and amount pressure required. By changing dimensions of components, rubber deformation is increased or decreased, changing the transfer rate of ink. Quality problems such as color out of tune, distortion of picture and text and layer fuzziness could be avoided by implementing the technique. By means of the vector relationship of pressure regulation, the rotation angle of eccentric bearing on the plate cylinder and length change of regulating screw were worked out. A certain basis for printing pressure and printing quality was set by analyzing the effect of the pressure regulating device on printing

    The purpose of this experiment was to discover if Crayola Washable Markers are really nontoxic, or even as safe as the dyes used in food. To answer this question, we used paper chromatography to identify the dyes in blue, orange, and green Skittles Sweets and Sours candy and Crayola Washable Markers. In this paper chromatography experiment, the mixture to be separated was spotted 1.5 centimeters from the bottom of chromatography paper, which was then dipped in the solvent, a 0.1 percent salt solution. The solvent then moved up the filter paper via capillary action and carried the mixture's pigments with it (Rosen and Gothard, 2010). Each pigment has a unique retention factor or Rf, a ratio between how far a pigment travels to the distance…

    Dave Stevens is an artist from British Columbia, Canada. He created his piece at home using the hand printing technique from a woodblock plate. The woodblock was a plank piece of fur. It had little bit of grain to it, which he says makes it hard to carve sometimes and he prefers yellow cedar. For inking he used and old roller from an offset press that a woodwork teacher had fixed up for him.…

    With flyer postings only being allotted two weeks for posting, the campus police department will have to print every two weeks. With campus police available year-around, printing flyers will have to be done 26 times a year. This can become costly for the department; instead of saving by printing a year’s supply and storing them, and a waiver of some or all posting requirements being provided proving the postings to be a university led initiative supported by the University of Houston-Downtown Police Department. As for printing cost, Office Depot being the most favorable, cost $32.00 per 100 count (Office Depot, 2018). A printing count of 100 makes each sheet of paper cost $0.32.…

    Printmaking is an art form that largely began in the early 16th Century Renaissance Europe. The art form involved drawing or engraving directly in a metal plate, and the use of paint and oils in order to duplicate an image. This inexpensive process allowed for the infinite duplication of artwork, resulting in the large recognition of artists from across Europe and public knowledge of their works. This form of art was of great benefit to those of whom could not afford original works, allowing for the lower classes of Europe to afford and hence appreciate great works and artists. Albrecht Durer (1471-1528) was born in Nuremberg, Germany during the European Reformation and the inauguration of the Northern European Renaissance (1430-1580).…

    From papyrus paper, we can tell that the Ancient Egyptians were very intellectual on using their surroundings and what they can find. Ancient Egyptians were very creative, not only did they invent a thick paper used for a writing substance but they also used papyrus for boats, ropes, sandals, chairs, baskets and much more. Ancient Egyptians were also very caring of their supplies because they knew that they shouldn't waste papyrus because they had a limited supply, until new ones are grown, so they would only let scribes who knew the basics of writing write on the papyrus papers. Today we use paper made from trees. Trees have a fiber called “cellulose” which are stuck together by a substance called…
