IMPACT OF TYPE OF INK AND SUBSTRATE ON COLORIMETRIC VALUES OF INKJET PRINTS

Abstract

This research aims to characterize the quality of prints printed with inkjet printing technique, depending on the type of UV ink and printing substrate. Printing substrates were chosen as trending substrates for digital printing used for both indoor and outdoor applications and thus may be affected with a variety of different agents during production and in general use. The results led to the conclusion that on various substrates, HP HDR250 Scitex inks shown better results, as well as that fastness properties very much depend on the type of pigment in ink.
