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.

Keywords

Abstract

In printing&packaging industry, Sheet-Fed-offset has been popular and trending technique of printing since some decades. This research paper throws light on comparison of rub resistance on sheet fed offset on coated gloss paper printed with UV&conventional inks. To test the rub resistance&MEK some sheets were printed on art paper having line images, halftones and solid images with both UV&conventional inks. The samples were tested using digital scuff tester The results indicated that UV inks printing has more rub resistance compared to conventional in through sheet fed offset.

Keywords
