Abstract

Ink lay down sequence is a crucial aspect from technical perspective during printing which affects the print quality. The sequence of colors is very important for the print quality in the Sheet-fed Offset. This research paper delineated the variation in the print contrast of colors due to variation of different ink sequences. Although CMYK and KCMY are the standardized sequences for offset lithography but there are possibilities of printing by five different color sequences namely CMYK, MYCK, YMCK, KCMY and KYMC. To identify the effect of ink sequence in Sheet-fed Offset print quality, prepared a master and done printing in the local printing press of repute. After printing on Art and Map litho paper the result was analyzed.

Abstract

This research paper delineated the variations in ink density due to different ink sequences on Art and Maplitho paper substrate. Density has always been an important aspect and the most exclusively evaluated term during printing. As density effects print quality, so it has been considered of greater importance across the in this modem technological time. The sequence of colors or ink sequence is an important factor effecting print quality in Sheet-fed Offset printing. Five different ink sequences CMYK, MYCK, YMCK, KCMY and KYMC were used on Art and Maplitho paper substrate for study. The main aim of this paper is to investigate impact of these sequences on density of Art and Maplitho paper during printing.
