Growth needs velocity, not speed

Sonal Shah CO-EDITOR

Madhvan A LAYOUT DESIGNER

The mood of the nations is currently filled with patriotism and lot of adrenalin post the surgical strikes across the border by Indian armed forces. However, Prime Minister Narendra Modi cautioned against any chest-thumping exercise on the valour exhibited by defence forces. His reasons might be different but there is another learning one could derive from it: Celebrate milestones but not overdo them. One of the biggest signs of a successful company is one which has velocity not speed. Mind you, I did not say speed but velocity because the latter is about ‘speed and direction’. Often we see companies not opening up about their success, their clientele fearing the competition might win them over. However, the thumbrule of great customer service states, if your customer can be enticed, then work on the loyalty bit. Therefore, in this issue, we interview Unique UV, which has shown velocity (speed and direction) in its growth. In addition, we have several interesting articles —including one on customer satisfaction. While Ann Harris writes about how to get the right exposure, in another article, we try to decode the paper and ink chemistry. Nessan Cleary has written on industrial printing while Rob Fletcher goes into the details of various inks available. He also talks about T-shits as a growing market. Finally, as we celebrate the fifth year of engaging relationship with you all, we want to thank our well-wishers and advertisers for supporting us, our fellow printers and convertors from the industry, and even those who consider us competition for making this an exciting journey for us. I will sum-up with this few lines about believing in self during challenging times:

Subam Printers installs Heidelberg SM 74 Tiruvannamalai-based Subam Printers expanded its portfolio with a new Heidelberg Speedmaster - SM 74, as part of its revenue acceleration strategy. From a modest beginning as a screen-printing startup in 1991, Subam Printers has grown to a 12,000 square feet print facility today, owing to the relentless efforts of this firstgeneration printer. His relationship with Heidelberg dates back to 2011, when Subam installed a Speedmaster 74, four-colour offset

press at its Guindy subsidiary in Chennai. A major portion of Subam’s business consists of commercial printing jobs from regular clients. The print shop is equipped with a state-of-the-art designing division and a complete array of prepress and postpress equipment’s. Palani, Managing Director, and the driving force behind the 25-year old print firm said, “With a production speed of up to 15,000 sheets per hour, the press is exactly what we need for our commercial printing setup.” The Prinect Easy Control color measuring system of the Speedmaster SM 74 helps in bringing down paper waste levels, while a speed-compensated Alcolor dampening system produces good print results. A highly-automated feeder with central suction tape helps the

Speedmaster SM 74 handle a wide array of printing substrates, from thin paper to board, ranging in thickness from 0.03 mm (0.0012 inches) to 0.6 mm (0.024 inches). “The latest generation print buyers are sticklers for quality output, as well as timely and reliable delivery. It is our key to explore a broader addressable market,” Palani says. The installation is also a reflection of the inroads Heidelberg is making into Tier-2 cities. Rajendra Prasad, Manager - Marketing & Communications, commented, “The Indian print industry has the next wave of growth from Tier-2 cities. We are glad that our continued emphasis on Tier-2 markets is starting to pay off. While we focus on innovation in core technologies, Heidelberg will continue to keep the customer at the center of everything we do.”

Ricoh launches its new aqueous resin (AR) latex inks Ricoh USA today announced its new aqueous resin (AR) latex inks, which are designed to cut cure times at an affordable price point, helping wide format shops take on more jobs and increase profits. After September, Ricoh’s wide format customers will be transitioned to AR inks, which will cost much less than their predecessors and boast a 24-month shelf life–much longer than previous latex ink options. AR inks allow wide format jobs on a broad range of substrates to be used immediately off the press. Whether printing on cloth, bond

paper, backlit material or a variety of other media. The new lineup of inks’ low price point helps drive wide format’s famously high margins even higher. Cutting ink costs without reducing quality allows signage shops to produce the same eye-catching work, at the same price point they usually charge customers, with lower upfront costs These savings only further incentivize the adoption of latex inks, which are known for their fast cure times and low environmental impact while still maintaining the high level of color quality that signage shops make their stock and trade. As latex inks’ color quality has improved in recent years,

many shops have started making the switch, spurred on by OSHA regulations concerning the fumes associated with solvent-based operations. “Signage shops – and cutsheet shops adding wide format operations – are always looking for ways to better serve their customers, from new, creative applications to faster turn times to keep up with today’s fast-paced signage needs,” said John Fulena, Vice President, Production Printing Business Group, Ricoh USA. “These new aqueous resin inks deliver the quick cure times that speeds demand, while still producing outstanding, eyecatching output. That it does all of this at a drastically lower price point than its predecessor is a huge.

Flint Group introduces new thermal plate processing technology Flint Group Flexographic Products has introduced new nyloflex Xpress Thermal Processing System for flexographic printing plates – incorporating the speed of thermal plate making with improved plate and print quality. The nyloflex Xpress Thermal Processor incorporates a smart design with an enhanced user interface. At the heart of the processing system lies the nyloflex Thermal Printing Plates specifically formulated to perform well in the nyloflex Xpress Thermal Processor. The first of these plates – nyloflex XPH and nyloflex XPM Digital Printing Plates – offer improved details with highlights that the company claims will rival the quality of solvent plates. Specially developed to print on paper at high line screens of 200+ lpi, these plates are capable of printing the dots up to 50% smaller in size than the minimum printed dot of the market leading thermal plate. Flint adds that nyloflex XFH flat top plate, soon-to-

be-released, will be the perfect choice for printing brilliant solids on film substrates. The thermal plates are suitable for use with virtually any ink system – solvent based, water based, or UV. The configuration of the nyloflex Xpress Thermal Processor allows for fewer components, so there is less maintenance, less downtime and lower operating costs associated with its operation. The processor’s zoned heating system is built around a highly efficient IR assembly, which provides precise monitoring of the heat distribution across the drum width and into the plate. The perfectly controlled heat imparts better dimensional stability to the plate backing, affording increased stability and consistency to plate processing. The accurate regulation of the heat eliminates the need for a chiller. Rich Emmerling, Technical Director of Flint Group Flexographic Products, expresses “The key to this advancement in

thermal plate processing is with the unique heating system which precisely monitors the heat at the surface of the plate.” Emmerling affirms, “The tight control of the surface heat delivers outstanding dimensional stability of the plate’s backing without the assistance of a drum chiller. The resulting processed plate’s image quality provides a significant reduction in the size of the first printed dot as compared to current thermal plates on the market.” Emmerling continues, “The heat regulation demonstrated by this technology raises the bar on thermal platemaking, and Flint Group is proud to now engage in this area of technology.” To complete the system, Flint Group offers a comprehensive waste recovery program with the nyloflex Xpress Waste Recovery Program. All consumables used in the system, including plates, can be picked up and routed to a wasteto-energy facility or recycled where available. www.flintgrp.com

Surat’s Municipal Corporation takes smart water initiative for textile mills In a latest decision, the Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) has decided to upgrade its existing tertiary treatment plant (TTP) at Bamroli by increasing the capacity at 40 million liters per day (MLD). The new facility will supply additionally 40 MLD water to the textile dyeing and printing mills at Pandesara GIDC. For this, the civic body will be spending Rs 100 crore for the construction of the TTP plant at Bamroli. The waste water will

| SCREENTEX | August - September 2016

be collected through pipelines and brought to the TTP, where it will be treated as per the industrial grades. There are around 325 dyeing and printing mills at Sachin, Pandesara, Kadodara and Palsana. Pandesara GIDC has the highest presence of 100 dyeing and printing mills. The total turnover of the dyeing and printing mills is pegged at Rs 125 crore per day. Pandesara GIDC has 100 dyeing and printing mills that need round the clock water supply. Bore well water is not suitable to maintain quality

in textile industry. Industries need 85-90 MLD water. As present 100 MLD tertiary plant of SMC at Bamroli is capable to supply about 40 MLD treated waste water to industries, the industrialists in Pandesara have requested SMC to set up second 40 MLD capacity tertiary plant. Vakharia, president of South Gujarat Textile Processors Association (SGTPA) said, “Each of the dyeing and printing mill is spending Rs 7 lakh per month for water charges. The total spending on the water in Pandesara GIDC is pegged at Rs 70 crore per annum.”

Because Michem Flex R1927 is effective with most conventional inks, it reduces primer inventory costs, as well as the labor required to swap out primers. It is optically clear and is easy to apply to the substrate. Test results show excellent rub and water resistance, and outstanding ink adhesion of cyan, magenta, yellow and black. Michem Flex R1927 is part of a family of waterbased Michem Flex primers formulated specifically for printing and packaging applications.

MUSINGS

Confluence of determination and perseverance today. The rise in readership of the magazine has not seen a waning moment ever. We have

always respected and valued the relationships we share with our readers as well as our partners. Hence, we have been successfully able to take both of them along in these five years of fantastic journey. Reliability: From the start, we have always been clear that we do not wish to be just a magazine which exists in the market. We have endeavored to add value to our readers’ experience each time we published a new edition of the magazine. We stayed away from speculative narratives, and often asked questions which were in the favour of the industry— regardless of how tough these questions were. As a result we emerged as one of the fastest growing and accepted magazine in this genre.

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” The line is instantly recognizable as the conclusion of “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost. Five years ago when we started this journey, many of our industry friends felt that a magazine for the print industry was not one of the wisest investment choices. It took a full blown deliberation to convince that the choice was not about RoI (return on investment) but RoR (return on relationships). It was a chance to give back to

| SCREENTEX | August - September 2016

the industry. And since then, we have nurtured this relation through our commitment and perseverance. But there has to be a plan, a roadmap that can helped us create this five year journey. Isn’t it? So here are five R’s which tells the journey of ScreenTex: Relationships matters: When the vision of launching ScreenTex was shared with a group of industrymen, it was quite clear that we intended to let them know that we value their opinions. This commitment continues to drive us even

Resource: ScreenTex wanted to build its relationship with the readers on trust and promote a knowledge sharing environment over industry gupshups. Hence, the conscious decision to ensure that readers are not only exposed to trends but also technological transformations and best practices of the industry. Each edition has carried at least one technical article and that too in both Hindi and English. Resonance: To get the right message across medium plays a critical role. To accomplish our aim of increasing the knowledge bar of the industry, we need to reach

MUSINGS out to more and more peoples. Language here could have been a barrier. The idea to connect with readers in their own language was not available. Hence, we started introducing Hindi articles in the magazine. The results were phenomenal. Accolades started ushering in from different directions. Our views resonated with the readers and their views found place in the magazine. Reforming: Change is the only constant. ScreenTex has been evolving as a magazine. It has transformed and reformed several times. And not just that when we hear our readers have intelligent conversations with their end consumers, we take pride in stating that we are first in line to raise the standards of discussion.

And as we always said, there are only two types of people: one who succeed through sheer determination, conviction and perseverance, and the other who stare at the opportunity wondering whether to take up the challenge. They never risk , and hence, never attain success. These five years have made us more humble and more patient. It has taught us why the proverbial pen is mightier than swords. It has taught us that in a country where knowledge is worshiped, you need to speak unbiased, question what has not been questioned till now, speak about success more than failures, speak about disrupters as much as those who have stood the test of time. And

more importantly that success is not about how big or small your product or company is, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about fulfiling the right needs of the customer. That journey of an entreprenuer often begins in small steps. In these five years, we have spoken about several new and old entreprenuers, who are improving the stature of printing in India and the world. It makes us proud, and we hope it does you too. And as we begin another year of journey, we thank each one of you who has made us what we are today. But even more importantly we want to request that in the land of Gurukul, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keep on spreading light; and be more informed than ever. www.screentex.in

Design Essentials – How the right design software can help improve production efficiencies and expand your service offering By Jurgen Verhulst, Technical Marketing Manager EMEA, SAi If you are reading this as a large format print provider or sign-making business, then the constant need to keep production costs low and increase turnaround times without compromising on quality, will be all too familiar challenges. The curtain has just been closedon another drupa and it’s a safe say that new large format grabbed enough headlines. It is worth remembering that ensuring an efficient end-to-end production workflow – supported by advanced software – will also go a long way to achieving the objectives outlined above. This of course includes the front-end aspect of the job, even before it is sent to the printer. Indeed, via the right software solutions, enhancing efficiencies at the design stage can have a huge impact on the overall production time. In short, it can mean the difference between a job making it off the cutter, onto the van and en route to the customer – or a missed deadline and angry customer. When it comes to pointof-purchase (POP) display and box design software, there are a number of solutions available on the market. That said, it makes sense to check out the respective attributes of each should you be on the verge of your next investment.

| SCREENTEX | August - September 2016

ADVERTORIAL Indeed, recent new introductions include those packages that tick even more boxes by enabling large format/ sign & display businesses to expand their applications offering, increase revenues and sharpen their competitive edge. The devil is in the detail So, having established that not all software is created equal, it’s worth being aware of some of the shortfalls in certain options out there. For example, is it compatible with all existing wide-format RIP software that drives flatbed printers and cutters? A number of design packages are either limited to specific cutting machines (which invariably include expensive implementation costs) or require costly additional shape libraries. These are also often only available on licence, but as a customer, you may also have to pay for an annual subscription, which adds to the expense. Additional or unforeseen costs aside, you should also consider the varying performance capabilities of the respective design software solutions in line with your specific requirements. For example, most designers would concur that an irksome and oft-faced problem is the issue of accurately visualizing designs in 3D. Because of the difficulty in properly accounting for folding material thickness and folding behavior, achieving accurate design using Adobe Illustrator or Corel is often time-consuming and invariably relies on trial and error during production. The good news is that a quick review of the latest software options demonstrates that the foremost providers now offer solutions that address this via an animated 3D folding

preview feature. Unleashing the genie from the bottle If you do happen to be assessing different options, then our own recently-introduced offering, SAi DisplayGenie, is well worth a look – especially if you are also seeking to extend your applications offering to customers. This powerful, efficiencyenhancing software eliminates multiple steps to improve job creation efficiencies by simplifying the structural design of POP-display and box construction – all within one bundle. This eliminates the need for any additional software plug-in to access the suite of design options; users simply access a library of popular folding POP display, ECMA and FEFCO box templates and select or adapt the shape or design that best suits the customer’s requirements. From there users can adapt the dimension, rotate it, include additional shelves and client logos and perfect the final design in as little as five minutes. This saves considerable design time that would have previously taken up to several hours. Importantly, DisplayGenie also incorporates an integrated graphic and structural design with animated 3D folding preview, which also lets users view the layout/design in 3D on the box they have created. This clever tool helps maintain workflow efficiency by catching any mistakes before production, so if you’re a large format provider, this spells savings in both cost and time. This is also aided by

the ability to export rotational package display or box designs as 3D PDF files for customer review or adjustment prior to production. A fifth of the price of certain other packages on the market, this solution could, for many businesses, help unlock the door to quick, easily and cost-effective POP-display and box creation without the shackles of a longterm subscription contract. As one would expect, it’s clear to see how accessing software in this way is proving increasingly popular. If you are large format or sign & display business, the freedom and capability to easily integrate one single all-embracing solution within your current workflow – without having to change your design, RIP or cutting software – is obviously highly attractive. For those who already have design software, DisplayGenie offers a great foundation to create a wide array of displays that can be adapted to meet the customers’ exacting requirement, right down to the thickness of the board. These users can simply access the free and regularly updated library of POP display templates with the added option of continuing the design in Illustrator or utilising their existing RIP and cutting solution. Naturally, it’s a likely objective of most large format print providers to grow business and increase revenues by extending one’s current applications offering. For those that already operate a flatbed printer, but might also be seeking to install a flatbed cutter, DisplayGenie’s ability to provide rapid, trouble-free creation of display and packaging products could hold the key to achieving these goals.

Are you closer to your customer?

Why understanding your customer is an important prelude to innovation journey. Innovation has been a top priority— and a top frustration—for leaders. In a recent McKinsey poll, 84% of global executives reported that innovation was extremely important to their growth strategies, but a staggering 94% were dissatisfied with their organizations’ innovation performance. Most people would agree that the vast majority of innovations fall far short of ambitions. On paper, this makes no sense. Never have businesses known more about their customers. Thanks to the big data revolution, companies now can collect an enormous variety and volume of customer information, at unprecedented speed, and perform sophisticated analyses of it. Printing industry on the other hand suffers not the lack of opportunities to tap data but the absence of a mechanism to tap

| SCREENTEX | August - September 2016

this data. However, if we exclude the walk-in customers and only look at the repeat customers, can businesses claim that they know enough about their customers? When we buy a product or service, we essentially “hire” it to help us do a job. If it does the job well, the next time we’re confronted with the same job, we tend to hire that product or service provider again. And if it does a crummy job, we “fire” it and look for an alternative. It is in this concern that one must read about the theory of jobs to be done (developed by Harvard Business School and is taught as a subject) as a complement to the theory of disruptive innovation—which at its core is about competitive responses to innovation. Disruptive innovation theory explains and predicts the behavior of companies in danger of being disrupted and helps them understand which new

entrants pose the greatest threats. Identifying and understanding the job to be done are only the first steps in creating products that customers want—especially ones they will pay premium prices for. It’s also essential to create the right set of experiences for the purchase and use of the product and then integrate those experiences into a company’s processes. When a company does that, it’s hard for competitors to catch up. Why do companies persist with indiscriminate selling without regard for a customer’s recent experience or attitude toward the company? One reason is the intense pressure to hit quarterly sales targets. Another is that the sales organization often flies blind: Sales representatives simply don’t have feedback from the customer — that is, if the company bothered to gather feedback at all. Sales teams have a role in advocating for their customers to make sure that the root causes of problems get addressed in a timely way. Only after it’s clear that the situation has turned around should the customer become a legitimate prospect again. The final piece of the puzzle is processes—how the company integrates across functions to support the job to be done. Processes are often hard to see, but they matter profoundly. For instance, it is easy to bargain for paisa if your costing has never been backed with sufficient reasoning. An ad-hoc costing structure not only exhibits that there is scope for bargain but also creates a window for brewing distrust.

Industrial printing moving to digital

Industrial printing is a massive industry, serving vertical markets from aerospace to electronics, and from medical to interior design. Printing has always been an industrial process. Done right, productivity continues to rise and costs to fall. But the widespread adoption of wide format digital printing technologies redefines what we mean by industrial print. We print 10,000 leaflets in an industrial manufacturing process. But we also print direct to shape in various industries where the print is only part of the product and only part of the process. In industries as diverse as automotive, home decor and packaging, industry is using digital print to add a graphics dimension to products or product components. This is industrial print. With wide format digital printing technology doors, shampoo

| SCREENTEX | August - September 2016

bottles, car dashboards and such like printing becomes part of the product manufacturing process. The technology makes it easy to print graphic images directly onto a product such as a textile or flooring. Industrial print includes the graphics component of a product as part of its manufacture. There are no fixed definitions for industrial printing processes, other than that the printing fit into the industrial product manufacturing process. As such printing is a necessary part of the completion of a product. But printing is not the focus of that productâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manufacture. This is print as a production element for any industry, rather than print as a product in and of itself. Endless applications Wide format digital printing means that industrial print

applications are hugely varied and almost limitless. Industrial print could be decoration, adding graphics to products in order to add value. Or it could be adding text to a switch panel. It could just as easily involve jetting glue or some other fluid through an inkjet printhead to a machine part as part of manufacturing processes. Industrial print can even mean printing electronic circuits and 3D printing. Such applications add value in many different industries, from automotive to packaging. Wide format digital printing technology is very much in the vanguard of these developments, with many wide format service providers using flatbed digital printers for industrial applications. Usually, this involves making a jig to hold in place the products to be printed and some substrates may also require a primer but most UVcurable inks used in wide format printers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need primer. They stick to most materials, including wood and metal as well as paper, cardboard and plastics. Standard inksets have wide colour gamuts and many also offer white ink, handy for printing onto non-white surfaces. Some wide format digital printers include additional channels for primer or for varnishing to enhance the look of the final product. Inky dreams Some vendors have developed alternative inksets. Mimaki, for example, offers a choice of inks for use with some of its printers. This includes the recently launched LUS350 UV ink, which can be stretched by up to

GUEST COLUMN 350 percent. This makes it suitable for vacuum moulding applications, such as retail point of sale signage, a technique also used to create customised car parts. Most of the companies making wide format digital printers and inks have targeted the industrial print space, either with existing wide format equipment or by adapting the inkjet technology for a specific market. EFI, for example, has developed a range of Cretaprint machines for the ceramics market. These print directly to ceramic tiles, typically with a resolution of 360dpi, with a range of special effects and decoration options. Flatbed printers are available to print directly onto glass in widths up to 2.5m and at high resolution. Typical applications include furniture, videogames and building facades or printing borders to things like solar panels and car windscreens. Some vendors have simply designed their inkjet printers to better fit a manufacturing line for printing plastics and metal with multiple colours and varnish and a high resolution. Industrial flatbeds Another approach is simply to build flatbed printers that only really make economic sense if treated as industrial print application devices. Thus HP’s Scitex 11000 and Inca Digital’s Onset X flatbeds can produce a phenomenal number of boards per hour, but really need to be fitted with automatic loading and unloading systems to guarantee enough throughput to justify their cost. Both of these companies also target the corrugated board market, with HP having developed a version of its printer, the Scitex 15000, which has a special gripper

for handling corrugated boards. This year, we have seen new machines that have taken this a step further, effectively marrying up short run and customised packaging with the industrial production of boxes. EFI launched its Nozomi corrugated printer, a 1.8m wide single pass inkjet printer that takes boards up to 3m in length. It’s capable of producing 75 linear mpm, which equates to around 8100 sqm/hr. It prints seven colours, including white, as well as an inline primer to counter dot gain on some substrates. It uses greyscale printheads with a resolution of 360 x 720 dpi. HP’s PageWide C500 is a digital corrugated post-print technology that prints direct to board with litho quality. Smaller flatbeds At the other end of the scale, several of the wide format vendors have developed small desktop flatbed printers specifically for industrial applications. These are meant for customizing a range of products, from smartphone covers to golf balls. They are aimed at existing wide format users looking to expand their market as well as manufacturers adding printing capability to their production lines. Roland, for example, announced a new object printer earlier this year, the LEF300. It can accommodate items up to

100mm in height and 8kg in weight and has a print area covering 770mm wide by 330mm long. It includes white and gloss inks for creating textured effects. Mimaki also has a number of desktop printers, and a desktop cutting unit to go with them. The CFL-605RT takes media up to oversized A2 and features a variety of functions including creasing and eccentric, tangential and reciprocating cutting. Making the cut This brings us neatly to cutting tables and routers, another example of wide format technology that’s also used for industrial applications. Both Zünd and Esko have shown robots for unloading objects that have been cut, with the robot programmed to understand the shape that’s been cut and fitted with an appropriate gripper for picking up a group of objects. The combination of an automated sheet loader, with a conveyor belt on the cutting table, and a robot for unloading makes for a very fast solution. This helps improve turnaround times for wild format projects. Screen printing Screen printing may be in

August - September 2016 SCREENTEX |

GUEST COLUMN decline for the graphics market, but is still widely used for many industrial applications from printing plastic credit cards to adding a coating to automotive parts. Screen printing can be very cost effective over long manufacturing runs and the inks generally have very good adhesion to a range of different substrates. In addition, screen printing has been around for a long time and the ink developers have accumulated sufficient intellectual property to be able to formulate the inks to handle the demands of manufacturing customers, such as inks that can withstand repeated washing or extreme variations in temperature. Textiles The idea of printing to fabrics is relatively old, and has

| SCREENTEX | August - September 2016

mostly been used for very short runs, including signage, and prototyping of new garment designs. In recent years the textile industry has embraced inkjet printing and a number of industrial inkjet printers have appeared. Hollanders for example, has developed the ColorBooster series, ranging from 2.5 to 3.2m wide, and capable of handling both direct to textile and dye sublimation prints. These machines are highly configurable in terms of the number of printheads and overall productivity they are capable of and suitable for both display graphics and industrial textile production. In conclusion, wide format print technology is extremely well-suited to industrial

production, whether that means simply a high throughput of graphics or fitting into a manufacturing production line. The main issue to consider is the substrate that the inks have to adhere to, and whether or not the printerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transport system can handle the substrate or object to be printed. But these are the sort of issues that wide format users and vendors have been dealing with successfully for many years now. You can trust the technology to give you results that are affordable and impressive.

Kalavathi Creations: bringing alive creativity of designers

Kalavathi Creations, which is at the nerve centre of the textile hub of India –Tirupur, began its operations in February 2014. The proprietary firm started by Ravi Kumar credits his friend for encouraging him to start a printing business. “The first customer for us was a friend who was into exports,” says Ravi. “When we saw that there was an opportunity, we setup a manual unit in early 2014. However, by September we increased the number of machines in the unit to support the growing business,” he adds. Asked if being in Tirupur has its advantages, he says, “Accessibility – of knowledge and resources – has been the biggest advantage of being in Tirupur.” While Kalavathi was busy setting a firm foot in the industry, the

| SCREENTEX | August - September 2016

trend of automation started making waves. The industry was increasingly debating whether automation alone will suffice or is there a need to balance manual and automation in a unit. However, never was it questioned if automation was necessary, because everyone felt that it is. This led to more emphasis on automation; and it at least became a necessary embellishment to qualify one’s production unit as ‘progressive’ or ‘non-progressive’. Kalavathy, in this debate, believed that automation is necessary to sustain in the longrun. “In 2015, we realized that we would need the unit to also have automated machines. This was in line with the changing demands of our customers and to ensure

that we aren’t left behind in the market. Today, I believe it was the opportune moment to move towards automation,” he says. Right now the unit has four automatic machines on the shopfloor. The factory is around 8500 sqft and the floor is manned by around 15 people. “In my opinion, we have mastered the art of bringing alive the creativity of the designer through the use of ink,” he says with a great pride in his voice. He feels there is enough demand in the country, and hence the decision to not to focus on exports in the near future. “Domestic demand currently is growing at a faster pace than exports. Therefore, currently, our focus is on expanding our reach in the domestic market. The decision —whether to look at exports— will

LIMELIGHT be taken at a later stage,” he says. Asked what the challenges are, he is quick to point price and labour cost still linger around as two key issues that printers face in the industry today. “While many say that price and labour cost is a result of market, a lot of these are actually a result of unhealthy competition. While the labour cost is on the rise, the price of the work is getting heavily chopped. This has resulted in thinner and sometimes negligible margins which affect not just us but the market in whole,” he says. He adds that the textile industry overall has not been witnessing “Ache din”. “The macro economic issues are having a cascading effect on even the smallest stakeholder in the textile printing segment. The issues faced by the printers are almost alike across

the country. So much so that few companies are only able to be operation for approximately 8 months in a year,” he says. In the next five years Ravi wants Kalavathi to be three times more productive than what it is now. Howver in the same breath he adds a caveat, “That is the expectation…. A large portion

of this will depend on market conditions. Perhaps, we may look at setting up a new factory with a range of automated machines.” However, he makes it clear that Kalavathi is not planning to enter the digital textile printing market any sooner. “Currently, we do not feel that there is enough RoI for us if we install a digital machine,” he concludes

Unique UV appointed India distributor of Phoseon Technology

other manufactures in the global UV LED industry.

Unique UV’s Sunil Daddikar speaks to ScreenTex on being appointed as the India distributor of US-based one of LED technology leaders, Phoseon Technology For the benefit of our readers, could you please give a short brief on Phoseon Technology? And what will this alliance offer to India? In 2002, Phoseon Technology pioneered the use of LED technology for UV curing applications. As the world leader in UV LED curing, Phoseon provides patented LED technology to deliver rugged, high performance products for application specific solutions. The company is focused 100% on LED technology and provides worldwide sales and support capabilities. The leadership team has more than 80 years combined experience in high-technology sales, engineering, manufacturing, and marketing of semiconductors and systems. Phoseon’s patented

| SCREENTEX | August - September 2016

Semiconductor Light Matrix (SLM) technology encapsulates LEDs, arrays, optics and thermal management to ensure curing performance. Each of these four components is a strictly engineered system that provides maximum UV energy and superior performance while also increasing long-term robustness for demanding applications. Phoseon Technology, USA has over 242 patents on their Semiconductor Light Matrix (SLM) technology. We have scaleable LED UV modules in Air cooled as well as high power modules in Water-cooled versions. Product covers wide ranges of sizes and power capacities as compared to other manufacturers. Phoseon has recently launched in Radtech 2016 in Chicago highest power level in air-cooled version. Phoseon UV LED modules are the most easy to operate and flexible to integrate in many applications; as compared to

While LED UV segment is witnessing growth, how is the market in India? Are we still playing catch-up? Growth of UV curing application in any field in any country depends on three major factors: UV radiation source manufacturers (UV curing system manufacturers), UV curable chemicals formulators (inks/ coatings/adhesives etc) and endusers. UV LED emits mono-chromatic wavelength. Hence need specially formulated chemicals. Unless this UV LED curable ink/coating manufacturing industry is ready to offer the end-user’s requirements; the growth will depend on expensive imported ink/coatings. I personally think it is a matter of 2 to 3 years of duration, since many Indian Ink/coating manufacturers have already started inquiring and updating with UV LED curing system in their Lab. To begin with the UV LED growth will follow global trend in UV Inkjet printing; the most preferred application for UV LED curing. Second preferred application used to be in silk-screen printing and such low speed application. Thanks to high power UV LED systems developed in last 2 years, it is getting popular in Flexo-graphic printing and high speed Offset printing as well. Initially UV LED application will be limited to printing on thermally sensitive substrates or specialized applications due to higher capital cost of the system. However in the due course of techno-commercial evolution this

SPOTLIGHT will also be economical and widely acceptable in the time to come. Til t hen we may have to wait and work in specialized area for specific applications. Wishfully in 2 to 3 years down the line we will close the doors for Mercury Arc lamps. What application markets does Phoseon support? Phoseon’s UV curing products are currently used in production applications for UV curing of printing, coatings and adhesives. These applications include digital and analog printing, assembly, medical, industrial, wood coatings and more. What is the expected lifetime of the UV LED light source? As a result of Phoseon’s rigorous reliability efforts, lifetime testing of light sources has now surpassed

50,000 hours of operational ontime with light source irradiance being greater than 80% of its original output when the test first began five-plus years ago. For perspective, utilizing a single shift workweek of 2,000 hours per year, 50,000 hours equates to 25 years of UV LED operating on-time. How does the SLM technology differ from other UV LED solutions available on the market? Phoseon’s proprietary Semiconductor Light Matrix (SLM) technology produces significantly higher intensity light than other LED UV curing technologies. The light produced by traditional UV LEDs is limited by the discretely packaged design. Phoseon’s SLM approach is to use proprietary packaging, optics, and thermal design to optimize the output.

Decoding offset printing inks

Inks for sheetfed as well as inks for heatset web offset printing are structured lithographic paste inks and generally consist of a varnish, pigment and extender, mineral oil distillate, vegetable oil and additives. In this article we will take a look at all these components one-by-one which impact the ink composition. Varnish The varnish is the binding agent and consists of hard resins, chemically modified wood resin and synthetic hydrocarbon resin, soft alkyd resin and a mix of vegetable oil and mineral oil distillates. The mix is cooked to dissolve and disperse the hard resin, thus forming a homogeneous varnish. Pigments The colorants in the inks are synthetic organic pigments, not

| SCREENTEX | August - September 2016

to be confused with natural pigment or with dyes. For black ink, carbon black is used as the pigment. The amount of pigment and extenders (chalk/clay) depends on the desired colour and structure of the ink. Mineral oil distillate and vegetable oil For the heatset printing process it is necessary to use a diluent that can be evaporated in a hot air dryer. For this reason, a fraction or distillate of mineral oil with a boiling range of 240– 290 °C is used. The function of this diluent is to act as a “carrier” for the resins and pigments and to allow the final formation of an ink film of about 1 micron thickness on paper. Sheetfed inks are designed for drying by oxidation (skinning). Certain vegetable oils harden under the influence of

oxygen from the surrounding air. The most commonly used type is linseed oil. A dryer catalyst accelerates the drying process. Additives Certain additives are used for the pigment grinding process or to provide specific ink properties which have an effect on the lithographic behaviour of the ink on press. Waxes are used to improve the rub resistance and slip properties of the dried ink film. In sheetfed inks certain agents are used to create an appropriate balance between the drying properties of the printed ink film and the skinning tendency of the ink surface in an open can or ink duct. Interaction ink / fountain solution An emulsion is a mixture of ink and fountain solution where

TECHNOLOGY the fountain solution is dispersed in small, equally distributed droplets in the ink (emulsified). On press, this emulsion should not lose any of the performance characteristics of the ink itself so that tack, viscosity and proper transfer can be maintained. Moisture percentage in the ink One of the big questions in the lithographic process is how much water actually is present in the emulsion during the printing process. In the Duke laboratory emulsification test (low-shear stirring), the maximum water pick-up is generally between 35 and 50% or even higher, but no correlation is found with the emulsion behaviour on the plate. One practical test (American Ink Maker), where samples were taken directly from the plate while the press was running and fountain solution and ink are in contact with each other for a micro-second under relatively high-sheer conditions, indicated a water content of 5â&#x20AC;&#x201C;15% (KarlFischer). Another test (Fogra) showed the same values. The most important conclusions from the American test are: Water pick-up in lab tests is much higher than on the press.

The differences in water pick-up are dependent of colour, supplier and fountain concentrate percentage. Interaction between ink and paper Adherence Adherence of ink to paper is not a uniform process. Part of the ink anchors into the paper. This means one part of the ink will absorb into the paper (coating), like water into a sponge. The other part actually adheres to the paper. Picking Removal of coating or fibres from the paper during printing is called picking. It occurs when the pulling force (tack) of the ink is greater than the surface strength of the (coated or uncoated) paper. Normally, the ink grade is chosen on the basis of its tack level. The higher the tack level the easier picking can occur. Rub resistance Rub resistance is the ability of printed paper to withstand the effects of repeated rubbing. The degree of rub resistance is a factor of the ink used, the

type of resin contained in the ink and the additives. One of the most commonly used additives for improving rub resistance is Teflon wax, which enhances slip performance. It is used in inks for more critical papers and circumstances. Rub resistance however, is not exclusively related to ink. The printed material plays an important role too. Glossy papers have better rub resistance than matt papers. Generally rough paper is more sensitive to rub than smooth paper. This is true for ink as well: the smoother the surface, the better the resistance. Gloss Gloss is a perception based on the physical, optical property of a surface to reflect projected light to a more or less pronounced degree. All three phenomena mentioned above, adherence, picking and rub resistance, have a major influence on gloss. The better the lay of an ink on a paper; the higher the gloss. But the ink itself and the paper itself obviously have effects on gloss as well. On a matt paper it is less easy to achieve proper gloss by way of the ink and vice versa.

Getting the right exposure By Anna Harris

You can have the best ink, the best mesh, the best press and the best film/emulsion, but if you don’t get the exposure right, you can get poor image quality on your stencil and/or poor print-life on the press. This chapter starts with a review of exposure science and ends with a set of tips and tricks for getting the right exposure. Exposure Definition: ‘On exposure to UV, light the sensitizer within the photostencil materials reacts to crosslink the molecules in the stencil to produce a layer insoluble in water’. The practical mechanics of exposure are fairly simple. The

| SCREENTEX | August - September 2016

photostencil material is held in intimate contact with a film positive and exposed to an ultraviolet light source for a predetermined time. Photo-stencil sensitivity The emulsions used to produce a photostencil (liquid or film) use light energy to activate the sensitizer which initiates the crosslinking reaction that in turn cures the stencil. The wavelength of light that the sensitizer absorbs will depend upon it’s chemical nature. Typically emulsion sensitizers absorb light between 300 and 450nm, common absorption curves are: Diazo –

alone in single-cure emulsions. Acrylate sensitiser – present with diazo in dual-cure emulsions. Photopolymer – used in ‘One Pot’ emulsions. The light source for exposure needs to emit light of a suitable wavelength for the sensitizer to absorb. The screen printer mainly uses metal halide lamps, mercury vapour lamps or UV fluorescent tubes. Neither the photo flood nor the quartzhalogen lamp has an output sufficiently high in ultraviolet to be worth considering for photostencil applications. If the spectral output of the lamp and the adsorption of the sensitizer match, then the light energy will be used by the sensitizer for reaction. Once the reaction is complete then light which is not absorbed by the pigments in the emulsion and dye of the mesh will pass through the stencil. This light can be detected and measured with a radiometer. As exposure time increases more of the light emitted by the lamp passes through the stencil as less is used in the crosslinking reaction. If only 418nm light is considered then the reaction can be seen to be complete when the light reaches its maximum. If exposure is insufficient and the whole layer is not penetrated by UV light, the stencil may wash completely off the mesh during developing, or the stencil may be intact after washout but break down, or become tacky during the print run. The resolution and definition of the image are compromised by over exposure as excess light is scattered under the positive. Resolution is taken to be the finest limit of reproduction achievable.

TECHNOLOGY Definition is the reproductive quality as regards, for example, the straightness of edges of print. There are no real gains in stencil durability from over exposure. The following diagrams outline the effects of under-exposure at 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 of the full exposure for a direct stencil. Exposure time depends on many factors: • Mesh • Stencil (type, thickness) • Lamp (type, distance, age of bulb, reflector design…) Comparing exposure times at different distances from the lamp As a general rule the minimum distance between the exposure lamp and the vacuum frame should be equal to the diagonal of the area to be exposed. This will ensure fairly even illumination over the exposure area. Depending upon the exposure area and the size/power of the lamp, the light intensity will fall off at the edges of the exposed area because of the increase in distance between the lamp at the centre and the edges of the vacuum frame. This becomes more critical the nearer the lamp is to the vacuum frame. A test stencil using an exposure calculator will show the maximum area that can be effectively exposed by a given light source. As the distance between the light source and the vacuum frame increases so less light hits the stencil. This means that the time to achieve full exposure will increase. The formula for calculating this is: X = Y x (a)2/(b)2 Where: X = New exposure time

Y= Original exposure time a = New distance b = Old distance At the same time, the light hitting the stencil becomes closer to 90°. This will result in less undercutting and improved resolution. This is because light rays that are not parallel can expose bits of stencil that should have been masked by the film. This is often referred to as light undercutting. From a practical point of view poor light geometry effects do not present a problem when processing general work, i.e. lettering down to about 6 point and halftones of 65 lines (25 cm) or coarser. It is only when trying to accurately reproduce very fine line halftones or images that attention must be paid to light geometry. Very high quality work uses a lens system on the exposure unit which collimates the light, ensuring that it all arrives at 90º. There is always a compromise between exposure time and achievable resolution because there is always some scatter within the system. As you increase exposure to create a harder stencil you automatically start to reduce the resolution. Comparing exposure times with white and anti-halation dyed mesh White mesh transmits and scatters light, yellow and orange mesh absorb the wavelengths needed for the crosslinking reaction, but scatter far less of the light. This means that dyed meshes require longer exposures (up to 4x for some yellow meshes) but give better

resolution and definition. Light scatter increases with mesh count and exposure time. This makes using dyed mesh particularly important for fine detail resolution on fine meshes. Poor contact with positive. The contact between positive and stencil should be as perfect as possible, inadequate contact results in light undercutting, more so when combined with poor light geometry. Here’s what can happen if the positive is placed the wrong way up. Light undercutting has resulted in loss of resolution. Similarly, poor contact caused by dust can cause noticeable blemishes in half tones. Undercutting from a rough stencil Some brilliant detective work by Dr Eifion Jewell showed that

August - September 2016 SCREENTEX |

TECHNOLOGY high Rz stencils suffer serious problems during exposure. He used sophisticated equipment to measure “tone gain” (i.e. size of exposed dot compared to expected dot size) in the dots on the stencil itself. The scattering from the high Rz stencil made dots smaller and smaller as exposure was increased. When the same experiment was conducted using a 1+2 Direct Emulsion (high Rz), and with increased exposure time, the scatter from the Rz caused dramatic filling-in of the dots, i.e. severe undercutting. Comparing lamp age As lamps get older the light integrator will ensure that the same amount of light hits the stencil so maintaining the level of cure by increasing the exposure time. As lamps get older, however, the wavelength emitted also shifts. The intensity of the longer wavelength light decreases relative to the shorter wavelength. The longer wavelength light penetrates better than shorter wavelength light. So the lamp can deteriorate enough to give poor through-cure whilst still seeming to be bright. Regular lamp changes are essential to prevent this problem. Practical issues Although it may seem obvious, we have to point out some practical issues which have caused many print-shop problems. • Dirty glass increases exposure times and the scattering causes loss of resolution. • A poor vacuum gives poor contact between film positive and stencil and therefore a loss of resolution. • A change of mesh-count has a complicated effect on exposure time. There is no good way to calculate the various tradeoffs, so if

| SCREENTEX | August - September 2016

you change your mesh, you must re-optimize your exposure. Exposure tips and tricks • Get the right distance between lamp and stencil. Too close and you have insufficient exposure at the edges and also strong undercutting. Too far and your exposure times are unnecessarily long. • Use a light integrator to ensure you have the same exposure each time. • Change out old bulbs as these can give poor exposure. • Use an exposure calculator to get the right balance between full exposure (full colour change) and resolution. • If you have to seriously under-expose your stencil to get the right resolution then there’s something wrong with your lamp (too close?), your mesh (white mesh? Too coarse?) or your stencil material (too lowtech?, too thick?, high Rz?) • High Rz stencils give poor contact with your film

positive and therefore give large variations in resolution according to UV dose. So go for low Rz stencils, without going too thick. For emulsions this can only be done via multiple wet-on-dry coats; for capillary films it comes naturally. • Make sure your glass is clean and not scratched or hazy. Use a good vacuum. A loss in vacuum gives a loss in resolution. • Re-calibrate exposures if you change your mesh. • Work in a clean environment to minimize the chances of trapping dust between film positive and stencil. • Do not use Perspex/ Plexiglass instead of glass in the exposure unit as they absorb a large amount of UV light when compared to glass. • Do not let the exposure glass get too hot as this can harden the stencil. Underexposed stencils breakdown quickly and are harder to decoat. • Underexposure is the single biggest cause of problems in screen printing!
