transfer of printing ink to the printing substrate
The transfer of offset printing ink to the printing substrate or intermediate carrier through splitting the ink layer is mainly affected by the following parameters: A further factor influencing the layer of ink on the substrate is the absorption properties of the ink in the printing substrate. With both absorbent […]

powder application offset printing
In sheet-fed offset printing, the conventional ink is still not thoroughly dry when the sheet arrives at the delivery pile. Consequently one of the major requirements in sheetfed offset printing is the avoidance of smearing, offsetting (transfer of ink onto the following sheet), and blocking in the pile (sheets lying […]

Embossing is a popular and highly effective surface finishing technique that adds texture, dimension, and sophistication to packaging materials. Widely used in the packaging industry, especially for cardboard and paperboard products, embossing enhances the visual and tactile appeal of packaging, making it stand out on store shelves. By creating raised […]

Checking rub resistance on printed cardboard coated with aqueous coating
RUB RESISTANCE When printed materials rub against machinery during finishing operations or against each other during shipping or handling, the printed surface is subject to a rubbing action that tends to wear or scratch the printed surface. Water-based coatings applied over the printed surface help to improve the rub resistance. […]
