Finally, Drupa is back again on the well-accepted ‘once in four year’ show format! For people who have visited the show several times, before signs of the emergence of digital printing were quite conspicuous. Over 50 Indian exhibitors and a large number of Indian visitors made it feel even more home.

There were also several key announcements and deals which were announced.

All that is there in the Drupa report in this edition.

In addition to Drupa, this edition of ScreenTex is on sustainable practices.

India has already taken up the mission to reduce its carbon footprint. And as a responsible industry, we too must actively ponder over the impact of not adopting sustainable practices and greener inputs.

In an interview with ScreenTex, Joseph and Robert of Chromoline, discuss this in detail.

In addition, Laurel Brunner talks about sustainable designs, and how print can be made more environmentally friendly. Harveer Sahni returns after a hiatus to write on the label industry. Then, we have Simon Eccles talks in details about digital textile prints.

As part of our constant knowledge impating sections, we have interesting articles on water treatment and Corona treatment.

The Hindi section this time is on screen printing on metals. And then, there is a host of other stories and articles which, I am sure, you will relish reading after a tiring Drupa. Our next pitstop is PrintExpo that takes part in the southern part of India. Till then, let’s work towards a Green Drupa in 2020.

Landa clocks orders worth €450 mn for nanographic presses Landa once again took center stage at Drupa, taking over €450 million in orders for Nanographic Printing presses. An estimated 200,000 visitors thronged to the Landa stand to catch a glimpse of its 20 daily live press demos. Visitor enthusiasm translated directly into hundreds of sales meetings, with orders taken in all major geographical regions, including the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

“Drupa 2016 will be remembered as the inflection point in the industry’s transition from mechanical printing to digital. In the past, digital printing

vendors had to convince the market that digital is the way to go. Previously it was a ‘push’ selling motion,” says Benny Landa, Chairman. “Now, for the first time, the situation has reversed. There is a very strong ‘pull’ from the market, driven by both customers and brand-owners, who are now demanding digital printing. It seems that the market leaders – in packaging, commercial printing and in publishing – have come to the realization that they simply must go digital.”

“For Landa Digital Printing, this market awakening has been particularly rewarding, as reflected in the substantial number of orders which we took at Drupa.”

Landa’s theater presentations: “Nano. The Power

The institute desires to shape the foundation of the new printing aspirants, which will also be available for DCC’s existing and new customers in order to accelerate their business.

Narendra Dadia, DCC’s founder and Chairman said, “We have long been committed to training, both in our showroom training facility as well as in the field at customer facility. David brings us the ability to formalize these exercises into a full time, cohesive effort with the funding and focus required to make the institute an unbeaten one. Our objective is simple.”

He has also built and operated a large scale cut and sew facility and served as the Corporate Training Manager for a large US vertical mill situated in Hungary and Romania.

Dhaval Dadia, Director at DCC, added, “The lack of skills in using product technology is what’s restricting companies to expand printing projects. Printing is the most profitable business with fastest ROI in the entire textile chain while it also adds the ultimate value to the product.

David’s ability to present anything from ‘the physics of the process’ to ‘efficient production processes’ in a simple and fascinating way makes learning so much more engaging.”

ColorJet to make it grand at Heimtextil 2016 ColorJet Group, the digital printing manufacturer, aims to bring a paradigm shift to the Indian home furnishing industry at Heimtextil 2016 by introducing its wider width direct-to-fabric digital home textile printer FABJET GRAND which is suitable to print on all inks, viz. reactive, pigment or disperse.

ColorJet will showcase the live demonstration of home textile printing on products like bedsheets, pillow cover, curtains, table covers, etc. on the FABJET GRAND. The FABJET GRAND is targeted at the customised home furnishings textile segment, particularly for producers of home décor products like curtains, bed covers and sofa covers to directly print on cotton and polyester-based fabrics and use environmental friendly aqueous based Pigment, Reactive or Disperse inks.

The printer delivers high productivity, since it has two heads per colour in staggered position, which increases

production and also has an extremely high practical printing speed, enabling high daily printing volumes and outstanding runability for overnight printing without banding and colour deflection.

The FABJET GRAND features a proprietary AIVC technology for consistent print performance by maintaining constant jetting conditions even in varying environmental conditions, and offers excellent print life with vivid eye-catching long-life colours for unique and richly finished fabric.

It has an automated feed and a take-up system, synchronized with tension bars for long unattended print runs on various types of fabric. It operates via a pneumatics control-based tension-bar on media feed and take up, to ensure consistent tension on fabric and adjusts automatically based on the type of fabrics being used.

The FABJET GRAND also has an automatic wiping system which wipes excess ink and dust

from the print head surface. The Capping Station prevents inks from drying within the print head when printer is not in use for a long time, and also protects the head from dust accumulation.

It is equipped with advanced colour management engine and processing tools which ensure faster processing of files leading to saving time and increasing productivity, and also has userfriendly and easy-to-use controls to manage colours.

There are advanced dither patterns for photo-realistic output, fully customized printer settings for enhanced print results, smoother gradations and vibrant colours for superior print quality and in-built ICC profiles for various media and print modes.

Smarth Bansal, Brand Manager at ColorJet Group said, “Apart from the price being very competitive, since our digital textile printers are manufactured at a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in India itself, buyers of our machines are eligible for various subsidies and benefits offered by the Government of India under EPCG & TUF schemes.”

Tarun Prints plans expansion after winning three FESPA Awards Mumbai-based Tarun Printing Works scooped three FESPA Awards in the special effect on t-shirts and other garments category. At a time when the modern textile printing industry was at infantry stage (in the 80s) in India, many rejected it as a method of printing as quality demands were high.

Among the few companies, who were

determined to be successful in this field, Tarun Printing Works stood tall and continues with its dedicated interest in pursuing emerging technologies. At this year’s FESPA Awards competition, more than 120 companies around the world participated presenting themselves with total numbers of 198 prints in 15 categories.

Tarun Printing Works had sent three entries, and as a result, won three awards, Gold, Silver and Bronze, all of them in the same category, special effects on t-shirts and garments.

Tarun Printing Works’ speciality is manufacturing different types of heat transfers.

They fulfill a variety of parameters including washing fastness, softness, sharpness, stretchability and also formaldehyde-free prints and APEO-free prints.

Commenting on the awards, Tarun Prints’ Tejas Shethia said, “Next year, we plan to delegate complete responsibility of entering to our creative team without management intervention thus providing a free hand and total control for them.”

Mimaki unveils new stretchable UV ink Mimaki has announced the launch of a new Mimaki stretchable ink. LUS-350 ink stretches up to 350% for high quality, durable thermoformed applications with great adhesion and no cracking, according the firm. It is suitable for a range of thermoforming applications, especially those requiring exceptional hardness and durability such as automotive parts.

It is compatible with the 710mm-wide Mimaki UJF-7151plus and 2.5m-wide JFX200-2513 printers and it will be available in cyan, magenta, yellow and black, as well as white and as a clear ink.

“This new ink will change the way vacuum moulded – or thermoformed – applications are created,”

12

| SCREENTEX | April - May 2016

says Mike Horsten, General Manager Marketing EMEA at Mimaki Europe. “It brings the benefits of digital printing to this segment of the market, addressing requirements for fast turn, short-run moulded objects with exceptional graphic quality.”

“Previously, objects had to be formed and then have the images applied manually or with screen printing, a time-consuming and expensive process. Now thermoformed objects can be imaged before forming, using Mimaki digital printers with an ink that will not crack or otherwise be damaged during the heat-based forming process.

It will provide a beautiful finish for applications such as car parts, mock-ups, moulded signs, kiosks and more.”

According to Mimaki, the ink will stretch up to 350% when heated to between 120˚C and 200˚C. After cooling to room

temperature, its rigidity is restored and it adheres to the moulded product without cracking or peeling.

This is the stretchiest ink provided by Mimaki, with the most recent inks brought out being the LUS 150, LUS 200 and LUS 120 inks. Images are printed on flat substrates using specialised imaging software and then formed into the desired shape using vacuum, thermoforming or other moulding techniques.

Horsten said: “The beauty of this ink when used in the thermoforming process, is that intricate textures and designs in fine decorative prints are retained even after moulding. What’s even more exciting is the ability to apply multiple layers of ink to create raised areas in the image for further enhancement, without worrying about cracking or the quality of the adhesion.” www.mimakieurope.com

Avery Dennison introduces digital wrapping solution Avery Dennison is enhancing its range of high performance car wrapping films with the introduction of MPI 1105 Wrapping Series cast film. The new material brings more vibrant colour reproduction and easy, fast application to the most demanding vehicle wraps.

Oliver Guenther, marketing director Graphics Solutions Europe, said that a boost to product performance makes the new material a great choice for challenging applications: “MPI 1105 Wrapping Series give

excellent printability across a wide range of digital inkjet printing platforms, including latex, UV curable, solvent and eco-solvent inks. It gives installers ‘stop-and-look’ graphics performance – and the 3D capabilities – needed to make both strong design statements on personal vehicles and powerful brand statements on commercial fleets. This material is also an excellent option for interior and exterior signage that needs an optimal combination of print quality and durability.”

“I am very impressed with the new MPI 1105 Easy Apply RS. The material really stretches into deep corrugations and can be repositioned several times – the Easy Apply RS adhesive copes

perfectly. Excellent whiteness also gives the film super bright and vibrant colours. The print quality is great and confirms the MPI 1105 Series in its place at the highest level in digital media,” said Huber Rigon, HR Design, Italy.

Easy Apply RS technology, with its inherent air-egress capability, means that installers will continue to benefit from rapid and bubble-free application when using the new film. Low initial tack allows sliding and repositioning into place for exact graphics alignment. The technology helps MPI 1105 to deliver truly exceptional 3D conformability, on surfaces with the most challenging corrugations and curves. www.averydennison.com

Roland introduces fluorescent ink Roland DGA Corporation, a leading manufacturer of wideformat inkjet printers and printer/ cutters worldwide, has introduced fluorescent ink specifically formulated for its Texart XT-640 and RT-640 wide-format dyesublimation printers.

Developed specifically for dye-sublimation transfer printing, Texart printers deliver outstanding print quality and productivity for sportswear, fashion, soft signage, decor, promotional merchandise and much more. The new inks, Fluorescent Pink (Fp) and Yellow (Fy), can be combined with Roland DG’s Texart

process ink colors to produce a vast array of vivid fluorescent hues and softer pastel tones. The proprietary Roland DG Fluor Color Library swatch palette can be installed in Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW for unmatched ease of use and color customization.

Simply clicking the desired colors in the swatch palette allows you to quickly and easily incorporate brilliant and pastel fluorescent colors into your dye-sublimation output.

According to Lily Hunter, Roland DGA’s product manager of textiles and consumables, the new Texart fluorescent inks will be available to consumers throughout North and South America in late July of 2016.

SPG Prints launches digital textile printer Two months after the showcase of its ‘Pike’ machine at FESPA Digital, SPGPrints is set to unveil another digital printer and new rotary solutions for textiles. Featuring the company’s Archer printhead technology, the Javelin inkjet textile printer combines precision geometrics with low running costs, and is ideal for medium volume requirements.

“The launch of Javelin moves digital textile printing firmly into the mainstream by enabling smaller companies to enter digital textile production while enhancing the options for larger ones,” said Jos Notermans, commercial manager digital textiles at SPGPrints.

Javelin is based on a full-width array of Fujifilm

Samba printheads, which have been modified for textile printing.

The heads are incorporated in what SPGPrints describes as a user-friendly print-bar technology, called Archer.

The headplates in the Archer array are typically 4-mm away from the surface of the substrate, compared with the traditional 1.5-mm distance of other printheads. In addition, Archer technology assures fine line detail, blotches, geometrics and gradients, thanks to its capability for variable drop-sizes ranging from 2pl to 10pl in resolutions of up to 1200 x 1200dpi and high jetting frequencies of 32kHz. SPGPrints has also developed Javelin reactive inks as a formula that helps to eliminate misting problems that might have arisen with Archer’s greater firing distance. The Archer printbar, explains SPGPrints, has been

The inks will be offered in a configuration of CMYKOrViFpFy. “The addition of new fluorescent dye-sublimation inks to Roland’s Texart lineup will expand the creative options for customers within the rapidly growing field of textile decoration,” said Hunter.

designed to retract fully for easy maintenance, whereby heads can be purged in narrow segments and a faulty head can be replaced by users in less than an hour – with no need for manual alignment.

SPGPrints initially plans to provide customers with a number of spare heads and any faulty heads returned will be replaced free of charge. “We researched what users want in the next generation of digital textile printing technology and discovered that the essentials include solid blotches, fine geometrics and – above all – a robust industrial solution,” said Jos Notermans, SPGPrints’ commercial manager for digital textiles.

Javelin is designed for annual production levels of up to two million metres, the company said. The in-line dryer has extra capacity to handle disperse inks, which – along with acid inks – are in development and scheduled for launch in June 2016.

REPORTS

A strong digital touch witnessed at Drupa 2016. Is it a new beginning?

The Mecca of print ‘Drupa’ never disappoints. And despite murmurs of print facing a downward trajectory at the global level, Drupa 2016 defied all odds to close with some great numbers. Over 1,800 exhibitors from 54 countries unequivocally reported excellent business deals, and echoed optimistic sentiments on the growth of print. This includes 50 Indian companies which exhibited at the show. Few of them, in fact, clinched a last minute berth.

There is a fall in the number of visitors but the footfall of decision makers has improved. Some 2.6 lakh (in 2012, it was just over 3.14 lakh) visitors from 188 countries

24

| SCREENTEX | April - May 2016

and some 1,900 journalists from 74 countries travelled to Düsseldorf for this edition.

“Customers – with very few exceptions – no longer come with large delegations or as part of a company outing to Drupa.

It is rather the top managers that travel to Düsseldorf today – and from 188 countries to this Drupa,” explains Werner Matthias Dornscheidt, President and CEO of Messe Düsseldorf.

Totalling 76%, the percentage of international visitors is up 16% from four years ago. The organisers attribute the credit of improved figure to Asian visitors: 17% of international

visitors came from this continent alone (In 2012, it was only 13.6%).

And India accounted for the largest share with 5%, followed by China with 3%.

The All India Federation of Master Printers (AIFMP) celebrated India Day on 6 June 2016 at Drupa. India Day was sponsored

by Messe Dusseldorf, Germany and was inaugurated by Raveesh Kumar, Consul General of India in Frankfurt.

There were two other noteworthy developments this time: Drupa announced its decision to return to its original ‘once in four years’ format and it were the digital technologies that stole the show.

REPORTS The next edition will be held from 23 June to 3 July, 2020.

In stark contrast to the usual ways of announcing closed deals at the show to make an impact, insiders share that few ‘actual’ deals made during the show were also announced (almost) real-time.

The organisers also claim that a survey conducted among the visitors revealed that 54% of those surveyed came with concrete investment intentions; 29% placed orders during Drupa; 30% are contemplating to place their orders post the show; and 60% found new suppliers. That in itself is a story!

The re-positioning of Drupa and its focus on future themes with strong growth potential – such as 3D printing, functional printing or packaging printing – also proved to be an engaging move on the part of the organiser. Drupa cube, Drupa innovation park, 3D fab + print, touchpoint packaging as well as Printed Electronics and Solutions witnessed improved interest.

“The print industry is constantly re-inventing itself and offers a wealth of high-potential facets. And this is precisely what Drupa 2016 has very impressively proven. We were able to experience a highly innovative industry here in the 19 exhibition halls, one that has succeeded in moving out of the “valley of tears” and grasping the future by the neck,” explains Claus Bolza-Schünemann, Chairman

of the Drupa Committee and Chairman of the Board at Koenig & Bauer AG. TOP DRUPA LAUNCHES Drupa is known for the big bang launches. This year as well there were several key launches.

INNOVATION

Development in raw materials drives innovation for 3D print industry

Although still in its infancy, the 3D printing industry is set to grow exponentially. It’s forecast to grow from $5.8 billion in 2015 and exceed $50 billion in the next ten years. As the use of 3D printing and prototyping becomes more sophisticated Smithers Pira new report The Future of 3D Printing Materials for Industrial Applications to 2026 addresses the new 3D processes and materials that have been developed to improve overall 3D printing capabilities.

Raw material developments are in tandem with the development of new printing technology. These improvements open up many more industrial sectors to 3D printing.

The five largest market application sectors for 3D printing are aerospace, automotive, medical, consumer products and prototyping. These markets were early adopters of 3D printing and today account for more than 50% of the 3D printing industry value.

These markets are also very much in sync with the key trends driving

32

| SCREENTEX | April - May 2016

increasing 3D printing and raw material demand.

“The singular overriding trend that will drive 3D printing to rapidly grow and replace traditional manufacturing is the reduction in 3D printing costs.” states Howard Blum, author of the report.

“Despite today’s higher cost of using 3D technology for typical commercial scale part manufacturing, the technology does have a distinct cost benefit in certain market situations”.

These market applications include custom one off parts such as hearing aids and new product prototype designs. Raw materials, in particular, are a very important consideration in 3D printing, representing about 25% of overall 3D printing industry value.

New raw materials have been developed spanning a large number of types and forms (e.g. filaments, liquids and powder), performance and cost, including thermoplastics, photopolymers,

metals and ceramics and fibres, fillers and additives.

The raw material value for the global industrial sector is about $1.4 billion and is expected to grow at almost 25% CAGR, exceeding $15 billion by 2026. The fastest growing raw material sector is metals, expected to exceed 30% CAGR for the forecast period.

As the overall global manufacturing industry increasingly embraces the benefits of 3D printing, and as the economics of use become more attractive, it is expected that the number of different raw materials consumed will also increase.

The combination of new printer technology goes handin-hand with the use of new raw material formulations and therefore the availability of applicable raw materials can help to drive the use of new printer technologies.

The Future of 3D Printing Materials for Industrial Applications to 2026 is based on extensive primary and secondary research. Primary research included interviews with industry experts across the globe.

Secondary research included analysis of Smithers Pira’s comprehensive printing industry database, as well as additional information gathered from a wide range of printing associations, suppliers and key global industry contacts.

H2 O GRAPHIX

Hydrographic printing is a well-known technique in industry for transferring colour inks on a thin film to the surface of a manufactured 3D object. It enables high-quality colouring of object surfaces and works with a wide range of materials

ENVIRONMENT

Save the world with sustainable design

By Laurel Brunner

We go on a lot about what printers can do to reduce their environmental impact. But we hardly ever mention the contribution graphic designers make to sustainability.

As with colour management, a designer’s decisions during the creative stages of a project, can have a profound impact on the recyclability of the final results. Don’t let anyone tell you that making informed choices compromises a designer’s creativity.

For those designers who take the trouble to get informed, the opposite is more likely.

Don’t let anyone tell you that making informed choices compromises a designer’s creativity.

For those designers who take the trouble to get informed, the opposite is more likely.

The most important consideration of all is to select the print method best suited to the project. Consider this in the context of minimising waste and encouraging recycling. If the project is for a limited number of copies, the obvious choice is digital: produce

34

| SCREENTEX | April - May 2016

only what you want and produce it close to end users.

Litho printing uses a lot of energy and consumables, but will be the preferred choice for longer runs because the energy per copy will be less. Litho often gets accused of producing excess waste, but modern press control systems have made makeready much quicker and less wasteful than it used to be. Perhaps the biggest consideration when using Perhaps the biggest consideration when using litho, is to work with a printing company located close to where you want your documents. Transporting print products to remote locations, involves emissions and pollution that with a little planning you can probably avoid.

Litho consumables such as blankets and printing plates, are widely recycled. Traditional offset inks based on petroleum are noxious, but they can be recycled for instance as low grade fuel, or mixed to create new black ink.

Petroleum-based inks also emit Volatile Organic Compounds

(VOC) which are serious pollutants and toxic to human health. The more sustainable alternative is to use vegetable oil based inks which contain fewer unpleasant chemicals than inks based on petroleum.

For short run work printed digitally the quality expectation and format will help the designer decide whether to go inkjet or toner. In either case consider the waste policies of the printer and the manufacturer who supplies the machine.

Are ink containers recycled?

Or are they sent to landfill?

Environmentally aware printers will have processes in place to ensure that waste chemicals can be recycled or processed into non-hazardous materials.

And are there processes in place to recycle wooden pallets or plastic packaging? Asking about these policies can help simplify investment decisions.

Designers should also be thinking about the substrates they want to use. Apart from the fact that the substrate influences colour appearance, environmentally aware designers will want to use a material and printing process that discourages waste and encourages recycling.

Can the substrate be recycled? Does the printing method avoid waste? Consider ink coverage in the design and manage colour so that ink usage is optimised.

Considerations such as these and many others are not raised often enough in the initial stages of print media creation. However a designer’s choices can improve the environmental impact of their projects. And very likely those choices will also improve the colour quality of their work.

What you should definitely know about digital textile inks

By Simon Eccles

These silks were printed on a Mimaki inkjet with acid dye inks.

Simon Eccles reviews the selection of ink types, pretreatment and postprocessing in digital textile printing and how to optimize these elements for the best results.

Textiles are one of the fastest growing sectors of digital printing.

The applications are numerous, with the most common including apparel, soft furnishing, soft signage and flags.

Also numerous is the choice of inks for inkjet printers. It’s not always clear what the difference is between some similarly-named fluids. Some have been adapted from earlier analogue printing processes, while others have only ever been available for inkjets.

The ‘hand feel’ of a textile is important, especially for clothing or garments (which we’re calling apparel here). This means the way the material flexes and drapes. Dye

36

| SCREENTEX | April - May 2016

inks enter the fibres of the textile and typically don’t alter the feel, though there may be an initial ink-acceptance coating that has to be washed out after printing.

Inks that have a carrier that stays on the textile often make it stiffer and alter its feel.

Here we provide a brief introduction to the main types of inkjet textile inks, their characteristics and any pre- and post-processing needed to fix them. Some inks can also be used with leather, which isn’t a textile but is commonly used in apparel and furnishings.

We’ve not gone into

detail with pre-treatments; this may be performed by the textile supplier, which will sell pre-treated materials for particular processes.

Larger scale industrial printers may have the facilities to treat their own textiles.

direct to textile rolls Post-process: dry heat/ pressure transfer or dry heat activation and washing (direct printing) Application: apparel, soft furnishings, soft signage, flags, hard surfaces

Dye sublimation is a water-based ink that works with a wide variety of inkjet printers. Most are adapted from standard eco-sol models, though a few have been purposebuilt. This ink is very widely used for textiles because it is easy to work with and only requires heat and a little pressure as a post-process.

It produces bright colours, but the limitation is that it only works with polyesters. Polyesternatural fibre mixes can be used, but the less polyester the fewer the binding points for the dye, so the image is duller and wash resistance suffers.

The ink can be used either to print onto a transfer paper or directly to the textile. Some manufacturers call it ‘disperse dye,’ usually when referring to direct printing. In some cases, the same ink is used for paper as direct to the textile (which needs a pretreatment to reduce spread and wicking into the fibres before it is heat-fixed).

However some manufacturers produce a special direct dye sublimation ink designed to reduce spread - Bordeaux Inks’ Eden SD Textile is an example - its transfer ink is called Eden ST Textile. Both method require heat activation for 45 to 60 seconds.

With transfer methods, a roll of paper is initially printed with the ink, which is then dried.

In a separately process (normally) the paper is pressed onto the target textile and heat is applied.

The ink vaporises (‘sublimates’)

and crosses to the textile, where it is absorbed by the polyester fibres and blends with them permanently. The transfer can be done with a heat press for sheets, or with a calendaring roller for rolls of material.

With the direct method, the polyester textile is printed directly on the inkjet. The ink dries, but initially the colour doesn’t bind into the fibres so the image looks dull. The textile is then run through a calendaring roller, when the heat causes it to sublimate and bind to the fibres.

The image then takes on its full brightness.

Some wide format inkjets that can print dye sublimation inks can work with both paper transfers and directly. The direct method needs a catch gutter under the print head carriage, with a support meth. Otherwise, ink that goes through the textile will stay on the bed and smear the reverse side of the textile.

More sophisticated tensioned roll feeds and re-rolling systems may be needed for direct textiles too.

Transfer vs. direct methods Although direct dye sublimation/ dye diffusion printing is superficially more efficient, in practise transfer printing is often better for several reasons.

When you print onto paper you get a sharp image with no dot gain or bleed. When brought next to the textile and heated the gas is absorbed into the adjacent fibres with no spread.

However, if you print directly, even if there’s a special anti-bleed coating on the fabric, there’s still a little wicking and movement, and small text and details may become blurred. For garments the pre-coating needs to be washed out after heat treatment. Pre-treatment isn’t

needed for transfers.

The transfer method also lets you print to stretchable polyester, ie polyester-polyurethane elastane, also called spandex and Lycra (plus other trade names).

This can take eight to 15 minutes depending on the fabric type and equipment. It also uses a lot of water and energy to heat it, which can be a problem in some parts of the world. Drying then takes time and may require heat.

Pigment ink was originally developed for direct-to-garment printing, especially t-shirts, but can also be used to print to rolls for later manufacturing. Generally a specially modified inkjet is used with a bed that supports the garment during printing.

Latex inks are very suitable for custom wallcoverings. This one (above) was printed on an HP Latex Inkjet.

After printing, the pigment is bonded to the garment using a heat press. This is somewhat similar to dye sublimation, but it relies on pigment adhesion to the fibres rather than dye absorption.

Originally the colour was a bit flat compared to dye sublimation but has improved in recent years.

Early inks had a somewhat rubbery feel after printing, but recent developments are much improved.

For example DuPont’s latest Artistri PK2600 ink for EFI Reggiani ReNOIR textile inkjet printers, is claimed to offer “true colour and the soft feel comparable to reactive printing.”

Latex is the name given by HP to a water-based ink containing heat-activated polymer and pigments. It works for textiles, but pigment remains on the surface rather than chemically bonding with the fibres. Colours are respectably bright.

HP, in particular, promotes latex as a multi-purpose waterbased polymer ink that can do practically anything and is environmentally friendly because it is solvent-free and odourless.

This includes direct printing on textiles, for which HP models can be fitted with an ink collector trough on the bed below the heads. Mimaki also sells a latex printer (also rebadged and sold

by Ricoh), with a different ink formula to HP’s.

Although latex is not limited to polyesters like dye sub, there are not as many latexcertified textiles available as for dye sublimation, acid/reactive inks. The majority are polyester based, plus some cotton types.

Latex uses heat to drive off the water and activates the polymer, though less is needed than for dye sub or the acid/ reactive types that use energy in different ways. The printed textile emerges dry from the printer with no post-process or activation needed.

UV-cured ink · Textiles: natural and synthetics, must be UVcapable · Pre-treatment: none · Process: inkjet direct to textile

Post-process: none Application: soft furnishings, soft signage, flags.

UV-curing ink has the advantage of printing on practically anything, and the latest LED-UV lamps use very little energy and run very cool compared to older metal halide lamps.

As with Latex, the printed textile emerges dry from the printer with no post-process or activation needed.

There are many formulations of UV-cured inks. Those that cure with a thin flexible film are obviously the best suited to textiles.

UV can be used with many types of textile, but not garments: it’s difficult to guarantee a full cure all the way through a textile, and uncured ink must not be allowed to contact human skin.

Given its light fastness, UV is particularly suited to soft signage and banners. Flags may be a problem if the ink stiffens them and alters their ability to move with the wind.

With a variety of different textile substrates and ink chemistry available for printing, it is important to select the right substrate and ink chemistry for digitally printing onto textiles.

Attention should be paid to proper preparation of the substrate to avoid print image quality defects.

All the necessary steps of pretreatment/coating, fixation, and wash-off should be followed in order to obtain optimum results in digital printing.

Corona treatment: Glance at the technology behind

Plastic processing companies, especially those producing and converting plastic films, are confronted every day with the problems of improving adhesion, product quality, and increasing the economic efficiency of their processing machines.

High-frequency (20 to 50 kHz) corona treatment is widely accepted as a process for improving the adhesion of printing ink, lacquer, glue and other coatings to plastic film, paper and metal foil.

The reasons for its success include reliability of results, controllability and easy handling.

Over time, the techniques and the effectiveness of the process have been improved to keep pace with the developments of the production machines.

This was followed with the introduction of plasma processes using atmospheric gas pressure plasma.

40

| SCREENTEX | April - May 2016

Principle of corona equipment The main components of a corona system are a highfrequency generator, and a corona station comprised of an electrode configuration mounted at a nominal distance of 1.5 mm from an earthed base roll.

One or other, or both the electrode and the treater roll have a dielectric material, depending on the application, essential for the generation of the corona. The generators are usually equipped with IGBT power modules, and, in conjunction with a high voltage step-up transformer, produce a sinusoidal output up to 20 kV at frequencies between 20 and 50 kHz. When the high voltage exceeds the breakdown potential of the air gap, the generated energy is discharged from the electrode system on to the surface of the material to be treated, as it passes through the

corona station in the gap between the electrode and the supporting base roll. There are essentially, two variants of the electrode system, and their application depends on the properties of the material web to be treated. For non-conductive materials, for example plastic or paper, metal electrodes are used.

With this electrode configuration the treater roll is coated with a dielectric material such as silicon or ceramic, essential to obtain regular, homogeneous corona discharge.

Where conductive materials such as aluminium, metallised paper, plastics and laminates containing conductive materials, are to be treated, the second variant of the electrode system must be applied.

The system for this application consists of dielectric electrodes, such as ceramic electrodes. The treater roll does not necessarily have to have a dielectric coating, since the ceramic electrode itself provides the dielectric. While metal electrodes can only be used for non-conductive materials, it is possible to use dielectric electrodes for the treatment of non-conductive as well as conductive webs.

However, for the power rating of the corona equipment it is important to note that the effect of these electrodes on polymer, for example, is poorer than the effect of metal electrodes. This can be compensated for by increasing the output of the generator or alternatively by incorporating an additional dielectric coating on the roll.

Function of the corona process The corona treatment effect is

TECH TALK based on bombarding the surface of the polymer with electrons.

These leave the electrode and are accelerated under high tension towards the passing material web.

In doing this they collide with air molecules which transmit light and react in part to generate ozone and nitrogen oxide. When the electrons come into contact with a polymer surface they have so much energy that they break the bond between carbonhydrogen and carbon-carbon molecules. Reactions with the corona take place at these free radicals, mainly towards oxidation.

The functional groups thus formed are polar and so provide the basis for adhesion of applied printing inks, lacquers, etc.

In another application, the surface of aluminium foil, even when annealed, is not free from organic residue as petroleum fractions and additives are used as lubricants when rolling foils. Depending on the surface roughness, up to 20 mg/m² residue can be measured. During the annealing process the majority of the oil is removed by distillation and oxidation, but the surface is not in fact free from residue. In particular at the centre of the coil there remain rolling oil residues of some mg/m². They are oxidized and therefore wet out, but have a negative effect on adhesion.

By intensive corona treatment these substances will continue to oxidize and cross-link so that adhesion becomes more certain.

The corona “equalizes” the aluminium surface in the machine and transverse directions, and helps to reduce wastage in the case of unevenly annealed foil.

Applications The applications of corona treatment are many, and range from treatment of drinking cups and yoghurt beakers in cup

printing machines, to treatment in extrusion coating and laminating lines, and a wide range of extrusion line.

One such application is printing on polymer film or other webs of flexible material. A refresh corona treatment may be necessary even though materials are used which have already been corona treated during manufacture. Long periods of storage result in the surface tension being no longer high enough to guarantee satisfactory adhesion of the ink.

This process requires a surface tension of at least 38-40mN/m for printing with solvent based inks, 42mN/m for UV based inks, and 44-46mN/m for water based inks which are becoming more common in the printing industry for environmental reasons.

If the surface tension falls below these values it is necessary to refresh the treatment before printing to ensure good adhesion between the film and the ink. In addition to plastic films aluminium foils, usually soft, annealed aluminium, are also treated before printing.

The same rules apply to wet or dry laminating of flexible materials as to printing. It is recommended to treat the carrier web and the laminate web with corona since it is very important for both parts of the laminate to have good adhesive properties.

The corona station should be situated as close as possible to the coating or laminating unit in order to keep the risk of contamination of the treated surfaces from path rolls to a minimum. Another important application of corona treatment is in extrusion coating and laminating.

Base materials such as

paper, cardboard, aluminium and plastic are used here in various forms. These are laminated or coated using a plastic melt, and all materials should be corona treated in-line before coating or laminating to achieve an acceptable degree of laminating strength.

In this case, the corona treater is installed as close as possible to the laminator prior to the anchor coating unit. Depending on the material and demand of bond strength, in some cases the LDPE coating can be carried out without anchor coating by use of the corona treatment with considerably lower costs.

In addition, it is often necessary to treat the plastic coating, usually LDPE, for further processing. For the post treatment of LDPE coated paper and board the decrease of surface tension must be taken into consideration.

Due to contamination of the LDPE coated side by the uncoated paper side the decrease of the surface tension is much higher than on paper or board coated on both sides. Depending on the period of the storage until further processing it may be necessary to carry out a second treatment in-line with the processing machine.

Corona treatment has a negative influence on the sealing strength in heat sealing. For materials which have to be printed and heat sealed on the printed side by further processing ,a uniform surface tension which must neither be higher nor lower than 37-38 dyne/cm is essential. This surface tension is sufficient for a good adhesion of solvent based printing inks as well as for good sealing strength. A uniform surface tension can only be achieved by a speed dependent power control of the generator in order to ensure the same surface tension at different speeds.

SPOTLIGHT

Don’t bargain environment for cost efficiency friction from the gatekeepers.

For instance, till the time the first person with whom an environmentally friendly product manufacturer talks to is a purchase manager, the discussion will always be about price. That is the fundamental mandate given to a purchasing manager – cut input costs.

During their recent visit to India Robert and Joseph of Chromoline engage in a freewheeling chat with ScreenTex on the optimistic clouds in business environment, as well as the increasing acceptance of environmentally-friendly products, in the country.

How important is India as a market for you?

India is the largest market in the world. We have mixture of film and emulsion sales in the country.

We have been in the market for 30 years, and we still find lot of potential in the market to be explored.

The credit for the continued grow here in India should be given to the Indian distributor. In a market like India, which is very dynamic in nature and in which the consumer behaviour changes after every 100 miles, a good partner can make a lot of difference.

Quite obviously, you might have been asked to compare China and India as a market…

Often, the comparison is made with China. However, the two countries albeit have set different objectives and adopted different methods to achieve those. China was looking at the volumes but also cheaper labour.

China had an influx of capital that was coming from the US as well as Taiwan. And it was closer to Taiwan, and therefore, the chase was essentially on labour rates. India continues to be price driven market. This is also a reason why environmentally friendly products are still making inroads in the country. Stringent regulations, standards and protocols need to be put in place to change this.

Globally, the biggest issue in adoption of new technology, or regulations is because of the

Has RoI been the impediment in this?

More than RoI, the target market for a large section of Indian industry has been towards domestic consumption. Those who have to deal with export markets have already started using greener consumables or raw materials.

The pressure from the customer is the most critical influencer for any paradigm shift in business operations.

How have companies like Chromoline being contributing to the environment?

For 30 years our efforts has been to be a greener and greener company. For instance, we have always talked about the environmental impact of using chemicals such as bichromate.

While, using such chemicals might seem like a ‘money saver’, it’s a myopic view.

There are countries in which we can walk around the riverside, and would be able to clearly notice the falling number of birds. There are environmental hazards which affect our future generation and perhaps might not even show results now. So, it’s up to us to decide if that is a bargain we wish to make.

SPOTLIGHT The question often posed is who will bell the cat? Where does the buck stop?

It’s not just the ethical responsibility of the companies to work towards a promising tomorrow, but also of each stakeholder in the chain. Be it government, industries, associations, NGOs or consumers.

If you look at the textile industry, they have made much better progress in this regard. Perhaps, as I pointed out earlier, it might be because textile industry is largely export driven.

There is lot of buzz around the Make in India initiative. Do you think the advent of globally leading MNCs would make a difference to the discourse on environment?

I am very optimistic. From what I hear about the new government in India is that more and more people are positive about improved business environment.

This not just means influx of investments, but also technology and innovations which have environment and customers at its core.

Government regulations are important to a large extent, but even the conscious level of the local manufacturers need to change. And I reiterate, from what I have seen in last few years in India, I am optimistic that things will change for better.

industrial activity. This means that both the demand and supply will see growth in a responsible way. Today, newer innovations coming to India are largely in accordance with the climate of the region. Technologies which embed and consider humidity, heat or temperature and transportation etc. as key differentiators will witness demand surge.

How do you see Chromoline’s next five years in India?

Label Trends in India

By Harveer Sahni

Population continues to grow at an enormous pace in the metropolitan cities of India and infrastructure, despite the rapid growth, remains under intense pressure. The migration of rural population to urban areas has made life in big metros extremely demanding and difficult. Government of India, for many years has been making efforts to stem this shift from rural to urban areas.

The effects are now evident. Mobile telecommunications, television, internet, better road, employment guarantee scheme and rail connectivity have largely been successful in bridging the gap and stemming the pace of migration. As a result, the smaller towns have in recent years experienced a spurt in demand for consumer goods.

Decades ago Mahatma Gandhi said, “India lives in its villages”. This is largely true even now but gradually the villages are modernizing owing to availability of all modern amenities in nearby

46

towns. They need not commute or shift to far away expensive metros to live a life that they watch on TV. This has resulted in a steady growth in demand of consumer durables in the smaller towns of India attracting investments from leading manufacturers to cash in on this change.

Neilsen, in a report titled, ‘Emerging Consumer Demand: Rise of the Small Town Indian’ states: “Eight thousand towns, 630,000 villages, over eight million stores and 1.2 billion people! In such a diverse consumer universe, how do you measure demand, where is it strongest? North vs. South, the metros vs. Rural - the choices are endless. Despite current inflationary environment, tier II and tier III towns are showing strong momentum with an improved demand appetite. The smaller Indian towns are leading the demand surge & shopping

like metros.”

The label printing industry has also been witness to this trend.

In the past few years we have seen investments being made to produce labels in smaller towns of India. An industry that originated and was predominantly located in the west gradually spread to the other metro cities, is now registering its presence in these smaller towns. In my effort to assess the impact I asked printers in all zones of India, “Label industry is now expanding into smaller towns and cities. Do you agree?”

The response was unanimous, YES! They all felt that it will impact the label growth positively. The LMAI President Sandeep Zaveri stressed, “It is required to grow in smaller towns”.

In trying to assess the trends and growth of labels in India, I interviewed 12 established and leading label printers spread across different geographical zones of India. 10 respondents out the 12 confirmed that there is definite growth in the country, one was not sure and felt it may have grown at places and gone down elsewhere while one was emphatic in saying that the growth rate had decelerated.

Anuj Bhargav of Kumar Labels, while being convinced that the label consumption graph is positive yet he cautions, “Growth exists, but increase in capacity is more than the demand escalation. This is leading to unhealthy competition”.

So over 90% of printers interviewed say there is growth. When asked the rate at which they individually grew, 10 out of 12 reported double digit growth, 3 of them grew 20% and the topper Sanjeev Sondhi of Zircon reported a growth rate of a whopping 35-40%! Two reported

BUSINESS 7-10% and one 5-7% growth.

Answering my question as to how they estimate the national growth rate of self-adhesive labels in India to be, only 9 responded and out of these 7 confirmed it is a double digit growth between 10 and 20% and 3 out of these 7 said the growth was actually 20%. 2 of them said 7-10% and one said it was 5-7%. When I look at all these three questions and the responses from printers, it is quite evident from the way printers have grown and the way they estimate the national growth rate, labels in India can safely be estimated to be growing in excess of 15% per annum.

Most of the organized Indian label industry belongs to the MSME sector (Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises) and that they are predominantly family owned businesses. A handful of them have been acquired by international companies but largely they remain within the control of original promoters and their families. These units were largely initiated at very small scale with a single label press. Until a few years ago most of the good presses that contributed to the evolution of labels in India came from Europe, US and Japan.

Gradually Taiwan made presses came in which then was followed by the Chinese made

equipment coming to India in big numbers due to the low prices of the equipment. Indian press manufacturers have also made a mark for themselves in recent times. Today label printers with these Chinese and Indian presses have become a definite and identifiable segment of our label industry. I asked all the targeted label printers, “Chinese and Indigenous label presses manufacturers have in recent times made many installations in India. This trend is creating a lot of capacity at the lower and middle segment of the market. What is your opinion?”

All respondents agreed with this and feel there is enough for all at various levels of investments.

Sanjeev Sondhi in response says, “In my opinion quality will finally decide who will remain in game.”

Industry leader and veteran Narendra Paruchuri heading Pragati Pack, Hyderabad stated, “This is quintessential question like the chicken and egg syndrome. The markets in the smaller towns cannot afford or break even on the high tech machines. So they will opt for the cheaper ones from China. Quality will not be very good but may be that is what is needed in that market. We are no judge for this and if they can sell and make it a success, good for them.” Pragati Pack has invested in some of the most advanced equipment to enhance their printing, converting and decorating capabilities.

On my question, “What is your mantra for growth, higher volumes or highly technical & innovative products?” he added, “We have to keep on at the technology and see what is it that we can do and can do that better than others. This is a quest for all businesses and only in the answer to this question lies

your success. So if you come out with a unique/innovative product, your sales will rise. Also maybe the growth rate of the country itself will give you an opportunity to grow your business. Progress is relentless and technology a great leveler. So what we thought was exclusive a few years ago is common occurrence now. So the quest has to continue. Always…”

All the respondents agree that it is time to take stock of the situation, shift focus and innovate.

They have similar answers to my query on their “Mantra for growth”.

Mahendra Shah of Manohar Packaging, “Higher volumes have not paid off to any one and I guess we label printers have gone beyond lower limit, so best would be to divert on to innovations and get into more technical products”.

Himanshu Kapur of J K Fine Prints Mumbai states, “Higher volumes and lower margins is a wrong growth trend, so we prefer technically innovative products”. Dinesh Mahajan Prakash Labels, Noida; “It has to be a mix of high volume and innovations.”

The trend of combination printing that helps employ diverse printing and converting

technologies in a single pass has become synonymous with innovation and secure printed products. To my question “Combination or hybrid printing is attracting lot of investment.

Do you see this as an emerging trend?” 8 out of 12 printers feel that combination printing is necessary to create innovations and it is the emerging trend. 3 did not respond to this statement and only one said it is not the emerging trend.

Many offset printers have started to invest in combination label printing equipment as a part of their expansion into packaging.

Label printers on the contrary would not really invest in offset printing.

A few years ago I remember Amar Chhajed of Webtech answer this question to me. He said we are so used to doing all printing, decoration and finishing of product in-line in a single pass, it is difficult for us to imagine moving stacks of sheets around the huge shop floor with a massive workforce.

Ahmedabad based Mahrishi Labels, had forayed into offset printing and they did not find

48

| SCREENTEX | April - May 2016

comfort with their decision. As per Jigesh Dani, “Having entered into sheet fed business we have realised that it’s not just simply printing but a different ballgame.

In my opinion it may be easier for sheet fed offset printers to enter inline converting but difficult other way”. With the advent of combination presses going wider and able to handle a wide array of substrates and thickness, the possibility to produce folding cartons inline also has become a reality. Many label printers feel this is the time to move in the direction.

Raveendran of Seljegat feels it is time for combination printing and says, “Yes we need to invest on the production of functional packaging”.

Gururaj Ballarwad of Wintek Bangalore which is a part of Signode India Group feels not many label printers will move into packaging yet he says, “Investment in combination printing is necessary to sustain, maintain & enhance the capabilities.”

Digital printing in India still remains a taboo with Indian label printers due to high cost of operation and consumables.

However as a slight change in their thought process the higher end printers say it is time to consider digital printing as a complimentary part in a combination press. So while they invest in a press that has offset, flexo, gravure and screen printing capabilities, they will probably also opt for a digital printing station as well that will add to their capabilities. This will also help them in proofing, as also to cater to increasing number of short run customers.

India is a large and diverse country with multiplicity of cultures, food, language, dress

habits, different festivals and lifestyles. As literacy enhances and the pockets of the middle class start to bulge it becomes an imperative for the marketers to focus on individual segments of the society. Innovation at this time becomes an imperative as also the capabilities to produce segment specific short runs. Just in time deliveries is another demand coming for end users due to the short run jobs. This results in making the larger label companies to consider multi locational production facilities.

The response on this is quite divided within the industry.

While many printers feel that one centralised facility is better for quality production and control.

With better logistics it is possible deliver anywhere in the country in reasonable time. Yet there are others who feel locational advantage is necessary to service and retain large clients. Some large printers already have invested in multiple facilities not just within India but also outside India. Ajanta Packaging has units in Daman in the west and Baddi in North of India. They also have units in Ajman UAE and Bangkok Thailand. Indian label industry continues to grow at a steady pace and is also attracting international attention however still it has not yet grown to the level of large international label companies.

There is still room for much more but it should grow steadily, as the demand grows.

Water, water everywhere; not a drop to print!

In the first of the series of articles which will be published, we take a look at key print variables that is ink, paper and chemistry.

Lithography is based on the principle that the oil and water do not mix with each other. While the lithographic process consumes fairly large quantities of water, most printers do not think of it as a raw material. However, the type of water you are using will affect the printing process.

The image areas on the printing surface i.e. plate must be oleophilic as well as hydrophobic.

At the same time, the non-image areas on the plate must be oleophobic and hydrophilic.

This is where the dampening solution plays its role. The main task of the dampening solution in the offset printing is oleofobization of the free surfaces on the printing

52

| SCREENTEX | April - May 2016

plate. On the press, the operator strives to achieve optimum inkwater balance during printing, while the fountain solution keeps the non-image areas on the plate hydrophilic as well as oleophobic. Ideally, the ink should have about 15 per cent water accepting capacity i.e. water in ink emulsification.

Oil-based ink is then deposited on the same surface in the same manner and properties of the liquids and the solid plate determine the quality of the print. This transfer of two fluids to the plate and then to the substrate is of crucial importance for a successful printing.

Water consists of hydrogen and oxygen but the tap water reaches the printer in different qualities and different degrees of purity depending on its origin (groundwater or other). Soluble

gases and dirt articles exist even in clean rainwater. Groundwater is situated below the surface of the earth. The geological layers of the earth through, which the water seeps, determine the composition of the water.

As water seeps through these layers, soluble salts are absorbed as well as large amounts of carbon dioxide. Dissolving behaviour of the water depends on the type of stone it passes through. Limestone, for instance, is insoluble in clean water, but if carbon dioxide is present, the limestone is transformed into the lightly soluble calcium hydrogen carbonate. In offset printing, the most important characteristic is the water hardness in terms of tank water settings. The presence of calcium in magenta ink is well known, and can cause deposits on magenta ink rollers and blankets.

TECHNOLOGY Accumulation of calcium from paper coatings or from fountain solution can lead to scaling problems Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a full water analysis before use in the printing process.

Factors influencing the chemistry pH: pH is the unit of measurement for acidity or alkalinity. The letters pH stand for pondus hydrogenii (potential hydrogen). A neutral solution such as pure water has a pH value of 7. Solutions with a lower pH are called acidic, and solutions with a higher pH are called alkaline. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. Low pH (acidic) conditions cause water to be corrosive.

Acids will cause pitting of concrete, dissolve metals, wrinkle vinyl, and irritate skin and eyes.

High pH (alkaline) conditions cause scaling: minerals (calcium, copper, iron etc) precipitate out of the water and those minerals will block filters and pipes. Depending on the pH value, calcium carbonate contained in the paper will react or not react with the fountain solution. At high pH values, calcium carbonate will be stable, but at low values, there can be an interaction between paper and water.

The pH value also determines whether metals are vulnerable to the fountain solution or not. At low pH values, metals will corrode.

Buffer: To keep the pH on a stable level, the fountain solution must be buffered. The pH can be influenced by an interaction between fountain solution, paper and ink. For this reason, fount systems are always buffered to avoid pH fluctuations. To design pH levels and to make a stable fountain solution, a salt combination is necessary.

Correct combinations of acid in the buffer are needed for thorough plate wetting without

any deposition. In order to achieve the necessary thorough plate wetting without, on the other hand, causing deposition, the buffer must contain the correct combinations of acid.

Conductivity: It is a liquid’s capacity to conduct electrically charged particles. All dissolved electrolytes in the liquid result in certain numbers of positive and negative charges. Therefore, conductivity is related to the amount and type of dissolved materials. Conductivity varies depending on the water and additives. The temperature and the concentration of alcohol also influence conductivity. It is important that the conductivity gauge in the central dampening solution be regularly cleaned and recalibrated.

Treatment systems Softening is an ion-exchange process that trades sodium (from salt) for the hardness metals.

There is no change of alkalinity or conductivity, but softening will prevent “calcium symptoms.”

Because softening does not control alkalinity or conductivity, your process is still subject to variations from the water.

Deionizing removes all ions and produces very pure water. This approach is perfectly suitable for lithography; however, the logistics are often prohibitive. Systems may be either the returnable tanks or a self-regenerating unit at your plant. The ease of the returnable tanks makes them a cost-effective answer for smaller sheetfed printers. The self-regenerating units recharge themselves at regular intervals similar to a water softener, but require concentrated acid and caustic soda. Their complexity effectively prohibits use at all

but the largest of plants.

Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a simple mechanical process that “squeezes” water through a membrane. The undesired mineral content is wasted to the drain with a portion of the water used. RO systems consist of a high-pressure pump, a membrane unit, and a storage tank. These units can be sized anywhere from a home unit (100 gallons per day) to large units that will produce hundreds of gallons per hour. Simplicity, reliability, small physical size, and low cost make these attractive to any printer requiring water treatment.

Scientists look to make print’s impact more accountable

By Laurel Brunner

Every week we get bombarded with new information about the dismal condition of the planet and its inhabitants. But sometimes we come across ideas and initiatives that are actually inspiring.For instance an Egyptian mathematician has told us about his formula for calculating the energy consumed when a single page is printed on an A4 toner device, either mono or in colour.

The developer is an electrical engineer familiar with digital printers and mathematics. The model is interesting because it’s dependent on the page coverage rather than the power as expressed in watts.

The objective appears to be to come up with new environmental criteria that can be used as part of the evaluation of a digital printer, by measuring its energy efficiency,

based on page coverage. Such a calculation should make the evaluation more accurate than a straight power measurement.

The Egyptian formula calculates the total energy used to print a single page in Joules.

It takes into account the time required to print 0% and 100% of a page in seconds, along with the current and how much voltage is used.

The page coverage is a variable, so the formula can work for many different applications.

This is an interesting concept that we will be discussing at our next ISO meeting which takes place in a few days’ time. What is almost more interesting is the fact that all over the world engineers and scientists are considering how to make print’s environmental impact more accountable.

It is encouraging that individuals are working on ideas that help the graphics industry improve its carbon footprint and that print buyers have a growing range of tools to inform their investment decisions.

We are still a long way from having a definitive list of environmental criteria that printers and their customers can use to do this. But we are moving in that direction and such a list will also assist manufacturers in their development planning.

We can already see evidence that the environment is considered in manufacturers’ research and development. Ricoh is committed to developing machines that support the circular economy; Kodak and Agfa continue to invest in processless plate technology; and the lean and green message is slowly reaching printing company owners. They’re even starting to listen a little.

The calculation of energy efficiency is confusing and difficult, but we are starting to see innovative approaches to how it might be done. It is just a matter of time before we have models for evaluating the overall energy consumption of printing systems.

The work coming out of Egypt as well as the contributors to ISO standards is part of a much bigger picture.
