Abstract

This research is concern with paper and ink interactions related to inkjet printing. The main purpose of this research is to a deeper understanding in which parameters control the flow of ink into papers and what will be the ink interaction with the paper surface here we have to find key parameters to optimize the print-quality in inkjet printing. The characterization of paper surface in term of porosity, surface roughness and surface energy. How the ink interaction with the paper light microscope imaging and SEM is used. A high speed camera is used to study the absorption of pricolitre sized inkjet droplet into fine papers. The research is done to see how surface fixation can affect the print quality for printout made with pigmented ink. The surface fixation increases the retention of the pigmented colorant in outermost surface layer of the paper The applying colorant fixation onto a paper surface before printing can increase the detail reproduction in a printed image. In inkjet printing fat absorption of the carrier liquid into paper and fast fixation is necessary to avoid colour to colour bleeding. It is important to understand which papermeters affect the absorption process to control the mechanism and to optimized the print quality.

Abstract

Paper and board has its own properties which make it suitable for printing in any press, but these properties changes after printing when paper comes in contact with ink as it goes through various processes. The mechanical and strength properties of paper reflect the intrinsic chemistry and structure of the paper Strength properties can thereby serve as indicators of the permanence of paper and thus are backbone of printing. Careful monitoring of strength properties can also be used for finding out the changes on these properties. The objective of this study was to identify the changes in strength properties of paper after printing.

Abstract

In printing industry substrate wastage is becoming sensitive issue day by day. So it is evitable and need of the hour to identify such factors to overcome this issue during production. Waste maybe defined as something lying unproductive or desolate. Minimization of the waste has always been a crucial issue for the news print industries. Newspaper industry generates substrate waste rather than other forms i.e. liquid waste, hazardous waste. Hence waste reduction is life blood for the growth as well as development of printing houses which cannot be underestimated. For running any organization it must reduce wastes including hazardous wastes. But the wastage occurred at any stage of production is major hindrance causing reducing quality and consuming more time resulting wastage. The key objective of present study is to identify various causes which results in wastage generation.

Abstract

The ultraviolet (UV) curing process is mainly determined by the desired application of coating. The intended end-product governs the substrate to be coated. The targeted properties like high-gloss hardness, flexibility, and resistance against chemicals or scratches have to be provided by the chemical formulations consisting of base resins, diluents, photoinitiators, and various additives. An appropriate selection of the components has to be done to enable an effective curing process; for instance, in coating containing pigments or UV light stabilizers, the special absorbance of the photoinitator has to be adjusted to a spectral region where the pigments or UV absorbers are fairly transparent. This fine tuning is necessary to match the characteristics of the lamp system with the chemistry of the coating to provide an economic curing process. Besides the physical properties of the cured material to be obtained, the economics of the coating process is the most important variable that decides the type of coating used. Thus, to calculate the total costs of a coating process, not only materials costs but the whole process design and the equipment set-up have to be considered to compare different coating processes.

Keywords

Drying, Flexibility, Abrasion Resistance, Diluents, Photoinitiators.

Abstract

The flavor and colour of a food product have significant impacts on consumer acceptability. Micro wave food packaging has a tremendous element in the food manufacturing process. The motive of any food packaging regulations concerned with the safety of the food is to control the migration of substrances from the packaging into the food. There are mainly three different micro waving packaging materials which are the most common material in the market e.g. polystyrene (PS), Polypropylene (PP) and Polyethyleneterphtahate (PET) migrated into Four food stimulant solutions. Four different solution were used based on the food type. These food stimulants include vegetable pure oil, aqueous acetic acid, ethanol and olive oil in the temperature of 100°C. Head space gas chromatography with mass spectro materic detection was used to determine the relative migration value from packaging materials in to food by putting the materials into contact with stimulants for 10 days in temperature of 5°C.

Abstract

India has become the diabetic capital of the world with highest number of patients suffering from this metabolic disorder affecting children, youth and senior citizens of our country. Therefore, this project was undertaken to investigate the potential of grape ischolar_main in the management of Streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemia in rats. The anti-diabetic activity of 95% ethanolic extract of ischolar_mains of Vitis vinifera (commonly known as Angoor) was investigated. The dose 500 mg/kg of body weight appeared to be the effective dose as it caused the maximum lowering of the fasting blood glucose, in Streptozotocin-Nicotinamide induced Type II diabetic rats. The maximum hypoglycemic effect was observed at the 4th h to which the study has been conducted. Administration of the effective dose of the extract to diabetic rats for 15 days showed favorable effects not only on fasting blood glucose, but also on cholesterol and liver glycogen levels. Vitis vinifera reflected a high margin of safety, as no mortality was observed even after the administration of the extract at the dose of 5g/kg body weight. Thus Vitis vinifera ischolar_main appears to be a promising candidate for developing a new Anti-diabetic remedy.
