“…5 The spectroscopic methods, such as confocal Raman, UV resonance Raman, Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, photoacoustic (PAS) spectroscopy, and transmission spectroscopy can provide information of ink behavior and paper-ink interactions nondestructively with minimal demands for sample preparation, on measuring environments, and time. 6 For instance, the PAS technique is successfully applied for on-line ink penetration measurement on a rotating ink roller, 7 and FT-IR transmission spectroscopy may be applied for separation and absorption studies of offset ink oils into different mineral coatings. 8 More surface-sensitive attenuated total reflection infrared (ATR-IR) FT-IR spectroscopy is shown to be suitable for light and water fastness studies of ink jet prints, 9 tint strength analysis of ink pigments, 10 ink-substrate adhesion studies, and for the analysis of the effects of pigments in offset printed papers.…”

The interactive behavior of ink constituents with porous substrates during and after the offset print process has an important effect on the quality of printed products. To help elucidate the distribution of ink components between the retained ink layer and the substrate, a variety of spectroscopic and microscopic analysis techniques have been developed. This paper describes for the first time the use of total internal reflection (TIR) Raman spectroscopy to analyze the penetration behavior of separated offset ink components (linseed oil, solid color pigment) in coated papers providing chemically intrinsic information rapidly, nondestructively, and with minimal sample preparation. In addition, the already widely applied technique of attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (ATR-IR) was evaluated in parallel and compared. The results of the ATR-IR Raman clearly revealed an improvement in uppermost depth resolution compared with values previously published from other nondestructive techniques, and the method is shown to be capable of providing new knowledge of the setting of thin (0.25-2 μm) offset ink films, allowing the spreading and the penetration behavior on physically different paper coating surfaces to be studied.

“…[4][5][6] As it is known, the paper quality has an important influence on the quality of ink jet prints. [7][8][9][10][11][12] According to the large number of studies on legibility, 13 a number of typographic characteristics is to be observed to make the text more legible, i.e., distinctive character features (counter shape), x-height, ascender, descender, serifs, contrast (stroke weight), set width, type size, leading (i.e., space between lines) etc. [13][14][15][16] -The white space enclosed by a letterform is called counter.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of light on the changes in typographic and colorimetric properties of ink jet prints in order to establish an appropriate typeface style and type size for business correspondence to ensure information permanence. The prints were made with six ink jet printers from different manufacturers on four different office papers. Four different, widely used typefaces (one old-style, one transitional, and two sans-serif) in five different sizes (6, 8, 10, 12, and 16 pt) were tested. The resistance of printed business correspondence to light was evaluated according to the ISO 12040 standard. The color differences were determined spectrophotometrically. The differences in typographic tonal density and wicking of typefaces were measured with image analysis. After the exposure to light, the biggest difference in typographic tonal density was observed at type sizes 6 and 8 pt, and at one of the sans-serif typefaces.
