Gloss Development Of Spray-Coated Systems, Aaron W. Clark
Gloss Development Of Spray-Coated Systems, Aaron W. Clark
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A spray-coated system involves any substrate on which a liquid coating is applied in a drop-wise fashion. Inkjet printing is the controlled application of drops to print a surface and is the focus of this work. The gloss of the printed substrate is an important attribute of print quality. Print gloss depends on a number of factors, such as ink and media properties. Non-uniform gloss in different regions of a printed image can cause a decrease in quality of a printed sample. However, a good understanding of the gloss development of spray-coated systems is not available in the literature. Several …

Gloss Dynamics Of Inkjet Printers, Amol G. Shirke
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Inkjet printing is a popular non-impact technology with widespread use in home and office applications. The basic principle involves propelling ink drops of different colors on a substrate. High quality images, near photographic quality, are now possible. The gloss of the printed substrate is an important quality attribute. Printed gloss depends on a number of characteristics of the media and the ink, but a good fundamental understanding is not available in the literature. The dependence of the gloss on the media and ink characteristics is reported in this work. The experimental results are compared with values predicted by a mathematical …
