CORRELATION OF SOLID INK DENSITY WITH THE SURFACE CHARACTERISTICS OF UNCOATED AND COATED (MATTE AND GLOSS) SUBSTRATES IN DROP-ON-DEMAND PRODUCTION INKJET (PIEZOELECTRIC TYPE) PRINT ENGINES COMPOSITE FIBERS

Solid ink density is crucial print quality parameters for any printing technique. Solid Ink Density deals with the density at solid areas of print. Solid ink density is highly dependent on the type of papers used. This paper aims to find the Correlation of Solid Ink Density with the Surface Characteristics of Uncoated and Coated (Matte and Gloss) Substrates in Drop-on-Demand Production Inkjet (Piezoelectric Type) Print Engines. A test chart was prepared with the help of tint patches produced by pressSIGN 5.0 software and it was printed with the help of Drop-on-Demand (Piezoelectric) Inkjet Press. The results indicated that the coated paper stocks impart better solid ink density compared the uncoated in DOD (Piezoelectric) printing presses.
