GPS 5100 - Printability Analysis

Relationships between printed substrate, ink, printing process and resulting print quality from both the theoretical and measurement standpoints. Print recognition and printing problems from the point of view of substrate formation and its physicochemical properties, ink characteristics, and the printing process parameters. Main techniques of printability evaluation will include modern optical methods of light interaction with both printed and unprinted substrate, spectrophotometry, and image analysis.
