Different printing technologies -- 1.4. What is the future of print?2. Printing on different substrates -- 2.1. Printing on paper -- 2.2. Printing on ceramics and metal, from tableware to tiles -- 2.3. Printing on plastic -- 2.4. Printing on textiles3. The physics and chemistry of printing -- 3.1. The physics of the transfer of ink to the substrate -- 3.2. The drying of ink on different substrates -- 3.3. Different formulations for different inks -- 3.4. Rheology of ink -- 3.5. The influence of the substrate, printing method and pigment choice on the appearance of the print.Full-text restricted to subscribers or individual document purchasers.Print is all around us and plays a vital role in our lives. It provides the means to communicate messages cheaply and with impact. It is an important vehicle for advertising, education, entertainment, information and plays a substantial role in modern manufacturing. Even though it is still mostly done on paper, print is applied to all kinds of substrates, from silk to steel, plastic to glass. In the book the interactions between printing method, ink and substrate surface will be discussed in order to achieve optimal results and durability. Print, its history and influence are described. In addition, different printing methods are explored. Finally, the scientific foundations of ink-making and printing are elucidated.Researchers, engineers and graduate students (academic/industrial) specializing in product development and innovation across creative print practices, processes and technologies.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Susanne Klein is a physicist by training and has worked as a Royal Society Research Associate at the University of Bristol, and then as a Senior Research Scientist at Hewlett Packard Labs Bristol. With her expertise in colloidal chemistry, optics and 3D printing, she is working on the reinvention of old printing technologies, such as Woodburytype and Lippmann photography, which will allow production of high-quality prints for advertising, packaging, fashion and, at the same time, include fake-proof security features. Carinna Parraman's understanding of 2.5D printing has evolved through her training in fine art print-making. She is Professor of Design Colour and Printing and Director at the Centre for Fine Print Research. She has in-depth knowledge of traditional colour mixing, colour printing and photomechanical printing processes. She collaborates with many different sectors including industry, heritage and fine-art print.Title from PDF title page (viewed on November 4, 2024).
