“…As expected, the primer created a seal on the surface of the board. An increase in the amount of coating enhanced the substrate whiteness, gloss, and smoothness, covering any color defects or defects in the board itself to improve the substrate printing surface and printing quality [12,13]. As shown in Table 2, the whiteness and gloss of the four roller coating schemes gradually increased.…”

The structural properties and whiteness of the substrate surface markedly effect printing quality and are closely related to the primer coating processes. Herein, four different roller coating schemes were applied on MDF surfaces to change their structural properties and color, and the whiteness, gloss, and roughness properties of the substrate surfaces were characterized for UV inkjet printing. Data analysis was conducted to explore the effects of these variables on the color reproduction, relative contrast, and printing gloss of the MDF substrates. The results showed that, according to CMYK, L*a*b* values and spectral reflectance data, the finishing of the MDF substrate with a 40 g/m2 layer of transparent primer combined with three layers of white primer at 20 g/m2 per roll coating layer had the best color reproduction effect for UV inkjet printing. Regarding the effects of relative contrast, the correlation with whiteness and glossiness was significant, while the correlation with glossiness was minor. The inkjet printing gloss value was positively correlated with substrate primer surface whiteness, while it was negatively correlated with roughness. When the surface whiteness of the substrate was relatively high, the roughness was lower and the printing effects were glossier. We sought to optimize the printing effects of all aspects of the MDF substrate by primer coating. The results of this work provide a feasible application method to improve printing quality and enhance the added value of low-quality boards, as well as to further expand the application of UV inkjet printing in the wood decoration market.

“…Print quality can also be used in marketing for product positioning. In science, print quality is used to obtain repetitive quantitative measurements to analyze results and to provide information for process and product improvement and development [13][14][15]. Results from analysis in production provide the effi cient determination and elimination of errors.…”

Print mottle is a print defect. This print defect has great attention in print quality assessment. Print mottle is determined by the grey level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). An important parameter in the GLCM processing is the direction angle of pixels in the digitalized print image. This research aimed to investigate the influence of the direction angle, which is an important input parameter in GLCM processing, on the output parameters, such as entropy, energy, contrast, correlation, and homogeneity. Hence, prints were generated in four different colors (cyan, magenta, yellow and black) on white polyester elastase fabric by sublimation printing. The non-uniformity of the print for each color was processed at different direction angles, such as 0° (horizontal), 90° (vertical), 45° (right-diagonal), and 135° (left-diagonal). Values for GLCM parameters obtained at different direction angles were slightly different regardless of print color. The choice of direction angle influenced the values of GLCM parameters. The average of all four directional angle values obtained for each GLCM parameter was taken. The GLCM processing method can be used for prints of different colors, patterns, and different quality levels to evaluate their print uniformity.

Classifications and Applications of Inkjet Printing Technology: A Review

et al. 2021

Inkjet printing technology uses the low-cost direct deposition manufacturing technique for printing and is applicable in various fields including optics, ceramics, three-dimensional printing in biomedicine, and conductive circuitry. This study reviews the classifications and applications of inkjet printing technologies, with a focus on recent publications. The different design approaches, applications, and research progress of several inkjet printing techniques are reviewed. Among them, the piezoelectric inkjet printing technology is the main focus owing to its reliability and handling of a diverse range of inks. A piezo-driven inkjet printhead is activated by applying a voltage waveform to a piezoelectric membrane. The waveform ensures the formation of the designed droplet and a stable jet. A survey of various drivingvoltage waveforms is conducted, which can serve as a reference to the research community that uses piezodriven inkjet printheads. The challenges of printing quality, stability, and speed and their solutions as published in recent studies are reviewed. Technologies for producing high-viscosity inkjets are explored, and the applications of inkjet printing technology in textile, displays, and wearable devices are discussed.
