There is an interesting adage, one who never changes, perishes. India is at the cusp of a transformational journey and it has started showing its trickledown effect on several industries. The net effect of the changes albeit will take some time. Print will gain is the vibe we got when we spoke to several key players of the industry. And that’s not just in India but in Bangladesh as well where textile printers recently met for ITME. Moving ahead, this issue has a keen focus on the reducing errors at shopfloor and building business with conviction. To begin with we have an inside scoop from Sandesh Tere of Duratech Automation which is entering the inkjet printing space after investing in the research and analysis in the technology. We also met with V. S. Logeshwaran of Devi Print Tex and T. R. Shrikanth of Premier Printing– two printers from Tirupur who are symbolic of the growth region’s textile printers are witnessing due to the efforts put in by veterans and energy of the new generation entrepreneurs. In the guest column section, we have article on discharge printing by CPS William Shorter and Liam Stubbings of Pyramid Textiles. Rob Fletcher in his article discusses why lamination, more than just protection, while Tricia Church talks about ‘print faults’ - making and fixing them. Laurel Brunner continues her thrust on why companies need to be eco-sensitive. She reports on how companies can assess the environmental impact of the fabrics they source. This issue is also special since ScreenTex’s new technical editor Sachin Shardul continues his tryst with printing industry again after a brief sojourn. Here are few lines on change that I believe will inspire at least some of you.

There are some days you may feel, As if things just aren’t going right. No amount of attempts to avoid, You step into the big mud puddle despite! When you are ready to take the next step, And show that you are ready to fight. Avoid what you can and it’s okay if you can’t, Cause know matter what, you’ll be all right.

The company adds that it has the ability to transform how companies conduct business, as well as improve time to market, cost and efficiency, and allow for new capabilities in design, sales and marketing activities. The deal comes at an interesting time for EFI, which

has completed a number of other transactions in recent months. In March, EFI acquired Rialco, a European supplier of dye powders and colour products for the digital print and industrial manufacturing industries. Rialco is now operating as part of EFI’s industrial inkjet business, with EFI planning to utilise Rialco’s advanced ink component capabilities to improve its own inkjet portfolio. In addition, at the end of last year, EFI secured the acquisition of Shuttleworth Business Systems, a UK-based company that provides management information systems to the print industry. At the time, EFI said that the deal would “further extend” its position in the UK market.

EPSON acquires 100% stake in Italian Textile Printing Firm Epson Italia, the Italian subsidiary of printing company Epson, is acquiring a 100 percent stake in the Italian textile printing business Fratelli Robustelli. Epson has worked with Fratelli Robustelli to provide digital inkjet technlogy since 2003. The company is anticipating the acquisition to drive synergies and provide added value at a time when the digital textile printing market is expected to grow by 25 percent annually, according to the company.

Based in Como, Italy, Robustelli develops, manufactures and sells digital inkjet textile printers, including the Monna Lisa series, which it began developing with Epson in 2003. Epson provides inkjet technology such as printheads and ink for Robustelli’s digital textile printers, including the Monna Lisa. The companies have been working together since that time “to promote digitalization by building the total solution support structure from development through manufacture, sales, and after-sales support,” the company said. As a result of the deal, Robustelli will join the Epson Group and tap into Epson’s manufacturing capability, expanding its offerings to more customers around the world. Together, Epson and Robustelli plan to focus on joint R&D efforts. Further, Robustelli products will

be sold by Epson’s worldwide sales and service network. “This is a very exciting development for the Epson Group,” said Sunao Murata, chief executive officer of Epson’s professional printing operations division, who has been named president of Robustelli. “As the market for high-quality digital textile printing expands, formalizing our partnership with Robustelli puts us in a great place to meet the needs of the growing numbers of customers seeking to leverage the advantages of advanced digital solutions that will help drive their businesses forward. We will work with Robustelli to take Monna Lisa to the next level and remain leaders in the field.” In picture: Epson global president Minoru Usui (pictured second from right) with (from left) Sandro, Valerio and Riccardo Robustelli

Screen’s Brian Filler hangs his boots Brian Filler, who joined the industry 50 years ago as an apprentice photolithographer at Barnet-based Stellar Press, joined Screen in 1981 in a sales position before being promoted to UK managing director in 2000, European vice president in 2010 and his current position in 2013. He claims that his is a planned exit and adds that his decision to retire post Drupa was discussed with the team. He has already spent nine Drupas with Screen. The announcement comes after Screen Europe vice-president of solutions and technology Tim Taylor’s sudden

departure to competitor Ricoh during Drupa this year. However, in his interview to a leading printing media house, Filler said the timings were purely coincidental. His sales career began with John Hadland Graphic Arts selling vertical cameras film processors and the ECRM Autokon scanner. In 1981 Brian joined Screen UK in sales becoming managing director in 2000. Subsequently, he was appointed the company’s senior vice-president in 2010 and president in 2013. He has played a significant part in Screen’s technology evolution from scanners through to computerto-film and computer-to-plate to, most recently, high-speed production digital inkjet presses for transactional, label and wide-

format applications. “The two most exciting things for me during my time have been have been the move to computerto-plate and then the transition from CTP to inkjet. During the move to CTP, businesses were growing and everyone was investing in CTP,” Filler told media. He added, that there were encouraging sights for printing and that the new inks for Screen’s high-speed inkjet and the quality of inkjet technology is now almost at par with lithography. Albeit he wishes that the changeover times should improve at a faster pace. Filler has also been heavily involved with industry associations as president of the APMI from 2006 to 2008 and chairman of Picon from 2009 to 2001.

MagnaColours launches Reflective screen inks Water-based ink manufacturer MagnaColours has launched its new Reflective range of toxin-free inks. Recently, the company had announced four new water-based inks which had been developed to address problems met by textile printers, manufacturers or brands. These included finding slowdrying water-based inks to suit high-detail printing and printing light colours on dark materials with a formaldehyde-free water-based ink. Thus, the four new inks addressed different industry concerns. MagnaPrint Aquaflex achieves the performance of PVC with

| SCREENTEX | June - July 2016

a water-based ink; MagnaPrint ULF Discharge has been designed to avoid the use of formaldehyde when printing on darker materials; MagnaPrint HB is a slow-drying water-based ink, formulated for use when fine detail and high definition printing is required; and MagnaPrint ND Soft Bases is a ‘non-drying’ ink that can print onto white or pale garments as well as any PVC ink, but is more economical. Now the company has added more inks to its Reflective range of toxin-free inks. The range, which comprises MagnaPrint Reflective SB, Reflective Clear, Reflective Crystal Clear, Reflective 3R Black and Reflective 3R Silver, is mainly for use on fashion garments, sportswear and some textiles. It is compatible with all screen printers. The inks have a

12-month shelf-life. Managing director Tom Abbey said: “We’ve been working with big sports brands on lots of new developments and we’ve been trying to make as many special effects as we can. With these inks, you are actually taking a waterbased ink, a small glass bead that’s half coated with an aluminium coating and you’ve then got to stick that to the water, which is incredibly difficult. It’s the fact we can do that and go through full 360˚ multiple wash durability; which is quite unusual.” Abbey couldn’t reveal any buyers but he said one major retailer will soon be using Reflective inks on 60% of its garments. He also said Magna had been working closely with Nike and other big sports brands during the inks’ development phase.

FESPA to host digital textile conference in Milan, Italy FESPA will hold its next Digital Textile Conference on 30 September 2016 in Milan, Italy. Confirmed speakers and panellists so far include Enrico Barboglio (FESPA Italia); Duncan MacOwan (FESPA); Ron Gilboa (InfoTrends); Fulvio Alvisi (AIDT); Andrea Ferrero (Miroglio Textiles); Lorenzo Zottar (The Color Soup); Gianluca Brenna (Stamperia di Lipomo); Dario Garnero (Stamperia Serica Italiana) and Andrea Barbiani (MS Italy). The Conference is colocated with FESPA Italia

Day. The FESPA Print Census, results of which were published in May 2015, clearly indicated textile as the dominant growth application for the community, with 81% of printers at that time seeing growth in this segment, the highest of any growth application. Digital technology was identified as the key enabler, with over 50% of respondents expecting digitally produced garments to become an important alternative to traditional screen printing in the next two years. Textile printers featured prominently in investment plans, with 21% of respondents specifically focussing spend in this area, supported by 12% planning to acquire thermal

transfer equipment. Decorative and industrial textile applications also featured heavily, with 78% of those surveyed reporting growth in textiles for décor applications. Textile substrates were continuing to make inroads in the signage and graphics space, with 67% observing sustained growth in soft signage. FESPA CEO Neil Felton comments: “Today, digital accounts for only a small proportion of all textile printing, but this is forecast to grow substantially in the years ahead, with estimates suggesting that digital could account for 5% of textile printing by 2020, up from 2% today. Clearly that’s a significant diversification opportunity for printers already invested in digital output technology and supporting workflows.”

Nazdar collaborates with VFP Ink Technologies to bring digital inks Nazdar has collaborated with French screen ink manufacturer VFP Ink Technologies to supply a co-branded range of digital ink products to print businesses in France. As a subsidiary of Tripette & Renaud Group, established in 1836, VFP’s core business is manufacturing decorative and functional screen inks for industrial applications, such as bank cards, adhesive labels and printed electronics. In 2015, it reported turnover of around £20m and employed 160 people, covering the whole French market. In addition, VFP’s products for

| SCREENTEX | June - July 2016

laminated plastic cards are sold in the USA by Nazdar, through an exclusive partnership agreed four years ago. A collaboration between the two companies in France therefore happened naturally, according to VFP Sales Director, Sébastien Petit. The co-branded products are manufactured by Nazdar and sold under the recognised VFP Ink Technologies name in order to reach customers in France. “The partnership was very important for us because the market in France is aware that VFP Ink Technologies does not produce digital inks, yet Nazdar is well known in that industry we could not start with a better digital inks partner than Nazdar,” Sébastien Petit says. He adds: “As many of our customers are equipped with

Mimaki and/or Roland printers, we decided to focus on providing Nazdar plug-and-play solutions specifically developed for those printers.” VFP supplies Nazdar alternatives to ECO MAX, ECO MAX2, SS2 and SS21 OEM inks in 440ml cartridges, which can be installed as the original containers run out without the need to recalibrate the machines. James MacDonald, Vice President of Marketing at Nazdar said, “VFP Ink Technologies has extensive expertise in the screen inks sector and is incredibly well connected across France. In return, our experience in developing advanced digital ink formulations will open up the market for VFP Ink Technologies.” The partnership was officially announced at C!Print in Lyon in January 2016.

Xaar aims to double revenue with new acquisition Printhead company Xaar, is buying EPS, a US company that has specialised in printing on objects with both analogue and digital technology. Xaar chief executive Doug Edwards has told media that the company’s recent acquisition of North America product printing equipment provider Engineered Printing Solutions (EPS) will help the industrial inkjet technology firm to achieve a goal of doubling its revenue by the year 2020. Although terms of the agreement were undisclosed, Xaar said in a statement that the

deal will serve as the first part of the company’s strategic vision to generate £220m (€262m/$291.8m) in annual sales by the 2020 target. Reflecting on the deal, Edwards said it will act as a major point in Xaar’s ongoing growth strategy, with the firm planning to use EPS and its experience in various ways. “Our vision to more than double the revenue of the company to £220m by 2020 can be subdivided into four strategic pillars which will contribute roughly £50m each,” Edwards said. ‘Inorganic growth through acquisition and exploiting our independence in commercial partnerships is a key focus. EPS sells a mixture of standard machines, customised standard

machines and bespoke equipment and the acquisition opens up the opportunity for Xaar to explore niche or new applications where the case for serial production isn’t yet defined. With regards to future expansion at Xaar, Edwards said that the company is always on the lookout for new opportunities that could help to accelerate its strategic growth plans. “Xaar will continue to consider acquisitions which fit with our vision of leading the digital revolution and which are best aligned with our growth strategy,” he said. As part of the deal, Julian Joffe, who founded EPS in 1985, has been appointed as Xaar’s new president of Engineered Printing Solution.

Imagico India develops ImagiFlex low migration UV flexo dispersion Imagico India, the colourant and pigment dispersion manufacturer, has introduced ImagiFlex low migration range of dispersions that can be used by ink makers to produce narrow web UV flexo inks for secondary food packaging applications. The firm uses a simple and flexible let down system with self-curing resins to avoid migration. Deepak Gupta, managing director, Imagico India, says, “The self-curing resins effectively lock in the polymeric photoinitiation system, and can significantly reduce the amount of free photoinitiator in the formula, a known cause of chemical migration in secondary food packaging.” The curing can be designed by the formulator, to suit the application

ImagiFlex low migration dispersions are formulated and manufactured using materials which have been chosen for their low odour and low extractable properties and their compliance to the requirement of 1. EC no 1935/2004 (materials and articles intended to come into contact with food). 2) EC no. 2023/2006

(good manufacturing practice for materials and articles intended to come into contact with food). 3) Swiss FOPH Ordinance SR 817.023.21. 4). EuPIA guidelines – clause 5.1.1 Gupta says, “Legislation covering migration of the chemicals into pre-packed food stuff is becoming more strict and controlled in Europe by the various legislative bodies. Currently the Ordinance of the Swiss FDA on articles amnd materials often reffered to as ‘The Swiss List’ is under review and may be replaced at some stage by the German Ordinance List, which according to some experts, will be more stringent.” Imagico exhibited for the first time in Drupa, where it showcase its Imagisperse range of nano textile dye sublimation inkjet dispersions and inkjet UV LED master batches.

MANTRA

How Leaders Are Like Leopards: They can’t change their colours! any personal responsibility, and lashes out, blaming others, and complaining? Just as when an athlete appears to be limping, when he falls behind, leaders, who are losers, make excuses and procrastinate! Observe a leader’s behaviour, in good times, as well as bad, and see if it’s consistent, focused, and true! Ordinarily; organized Unless one consistently, and ordinarily, is prepared, organized and ready, he will rarely be effective! A great leader must be in, and take control, of challenging situations, and lead by example.

Beware of a leader, who constantly appears to be changing his message! While one may, and should evolve, and often modify a position or view, I am referring to looking at the character of an individual. Only chameleons are able to change their colours, so, no matter how much someone tries to make voters believe he has changed for the better, one’s underlying persona, generally remains. Remember, a liar remains a liar, and a hater rarely transforms to a lover! Change; clear-cut; choices; calibre Why would you believe that someone who appears unprepared will automatically improve the calibre of his thinking and preparation, merely because he says he will? Do you know what the individual actually means and represents, and does he present a clear-cut, detailed plan, rather than empty rhetoric and promises?

| SCREENTEX | June - July 2016

Does he evaluate choices and alternatives, or merely go with the one, which fits his agenda? Options; original In my four decades of identifying, qualifying, training, developing and consulting, to over a thousand actual and/or potential leaders, I have come to realize, few have original ideas, etc. Many have demonstrated, in fact, their next, great idea, is the last one, someone else shared with them! A true leader must consider options and alternatives, and proactively lead others, towards the best possible solution. Loser’s limp; learned (versus native) behaviour When challenges present themselves, as they invariably will, does the individual address them, or does he spend most of his time, focused on deferring

Relevant; reasonable; reality Does the leader face reality, in a prepared, reasonable, steady manner? Are his solutions relevant, or merely full of empty rhetoric and promises? Symptoms; strengths; sustainable system Laziness, and lack of preparation, as well as constantly blaming, complaining and whining, are symptoms of less-than-stellar leadership! Great leaders understand their strengths and weaknesses, and rather than denying them, use them to their best advantage! The goal must be developing, creating and implementing a quality, sustainable system! It is challenging to rehabilitate one’s basic character, even when given a substantial period of time. Be wary of any leader, who seeks to appear as a chameleon, because most rarely can change their true colours!

WALK THE TALK

The dark horse of screen printing

How a silent, customer-focused engineer has been working in the background to recreate his success in screen printing in his latest endeavour – inkjet printing Duratech Automation is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year. While many know the company was incepted in 2006, not many are aware that the actual ground work began long before. It was 20022003, when Sandesh Tere fiddled

| SCREENTEX | June - July 2016

with the idea of manufacturing machines for screen printing industry. Between 2006 and 2009 his core focus was to refine the engineering of his machines. A lot of time was spent documenting most minute glitches the machine may face, and its possible solutions. In 2012, the company made its debut at FESPA UK. He realised that inkjet could not just

complement screen printing but also be a dominating technology. That realisation scripted a new path for Duratech. Its brand Unitech was soon going to see a slew of inkjet machines been inducted. Upon return from FESPA, Sandesh immediately started learning more about the technology. While, he knew how inkjet press worked, he wanted the machines from Unitech to be made considering Indian printing environment. The machine should be durable, technically perfect with a friendly interface, and cost efficient too. Asked why it took more than three to four years to finally bring the machine to market, he says, “We wanted to sharpen our axe. We utilised this time to build several prototypes, and tested them under different conditions and materials. There is a concept of making your internet search “smart” by feeding it with several relatable search keywords. It’s a way of training the machine to anticipate the expected outcome and work. We used our prototypes to make better prototypes and even better prototypes. We tested different heads, new configurations, ink viscosity etc. The result was we had explored, discovered and eliminated hundreds of issues that could have emerged and had almost 40 variants of the same machine. The next step was to eliminate those which would not have lasted the test of rigorous production environments.” Such was the stringency of testing that one of the model

WALK THE TALK which Sandesh thought would be the star product lost out the tag midway. The machine could not meet the tough love of its creator, and is still sitting in a corner of his R&D centre. Why was this important? These issues could have resulted in an irked customer and several rounds of troubleshooting. During this course of three to four years, Duratech ploughed back every penny of the profit it was making. “It was a conscious decision to invest the profit back in the future of the technology. Now we will invest our energy in sales and marketing of the product,” he says. “It was risky move,” he accepts. “But if I wouldn’t have done it, I would have penned the obituary of my business’ future,” he adds. This period saw Unitech test a slew of heads (which according to Sandesh was the biggest painpoint). In fact, he claims there were orders pouring in from last one year. However, Unitech didn’t accept the orders and rather asked the customers to be a little more patient as Sandesh claims his aim was not just to earn quick bucks but to earn a reputation. Interestingly, in one of the previous visits to Unitech’s office, ScreenTex witnessed a list of troubleshooting videos. Asked about it, he says, “Although we try out best to design machines that are easy to understand and can be understood even by a nonengineer shopfloor staff, there are times when the machine asks for troubleshooting. At such a scenario, we understand that even a 30 minutes halt in production can be a pinching experience for the business. Before our engineer can visit and check the machine, these videos can help the shopfloor managers to pinpoint the error, watch and see a relevant troubleshooting video and get

the machine up and running. We have listed even the smallest errors one may face, the reason of the same and the solution thereof.” It was another risk and quite a different approach from his fellow manufacturers. “Business that does not reinvent itself perishes.” Documentation has now become a habit of Unitech. The company claims that it has not only documented and recorded over 40 video troubleshoot for its machines but for even competing machines as well. “Currently, there isn’t a manufacturing company which provides digital, transfer, sublimation all under one roof. Only dealers are serving this need of the market. Unitech is different, and hence, we decided to break this monotony. Sublimation and inkjet will be two of the core focuses of our strategy in the coming years,” he adds, speaking on the shortterm strategic moves of the company. This means that the line of services will inflate, and so would the offerings. There are more launches in line, he reveals. Told that digital is a tough battle to fight for an Indian company, he disagrees and adds that ‘it is not invincible or impossible battle’. “China has moved a long way ahead in technology but decisively benchmarked itself against price. India needs to adopt both quality and price right from the start. Unless, we strive for creating a brand for Made in India, there is no point thrusting only on Making in India,” he says. “Price can only be controlled at the time of designing. And that is where several manufacturers fail. They consider the price market is

There isn’t a manufacturing company which provides digital, transfer, sublimation all under one roof. Only dealers are serving this need of the market. Unitech is different, and hence, we decided to break this monotony. Sublimation and inkjet will be two of the core focuses of our strategy in the coming years,” willing to pay only after they have designed the machine, and started work on it. This is counterintuitive, he adds. For instance, ink plays an important role in inkjet. Sandesh reveals that they have tied up with one Europe and one China based OEM ink manufacturers. Both are tested, are equally good and will offer the Indian customer an option on price band. The company is also moving into a new 7000 sqft facility to bring its R&D, marketing and sales office under one roof. The specialty of this facility is that the lighting will be through solar energy. It is a startling fact that over a large per cent of energy consumption by offices is done is for lighting purpose. Solar energy powered lighting solutions can help reduce this burden and also help companies to cut on the carbon dioxide emissions. “Ultimately, companies need to walk the talk. Be it in terms of providing quality solutions to Indian customers, investing in R&D to ease the burden off customers or utilising renewable sources (at least) to ease pressure off nature,” he concludes.

Lamination - more than just protection By Rob Fletcher

Avery Dennison says its range of overlaminate solutions can be used for both decoration and protection

Laminating machines come in all shapes and sizes. But which one is the right choice for you? Rob Fletcher helps you find the best quality laminator and film for your needs. When referring to technologies in the production process, it is fair to say many of the headlines are dominated by talk of new print machines and their many wonderful features. However, there is so much more to the process then this part of production. Yes, it is critical that you select the right type of printing technology for the job that you are working on, but what about the process after this—finishing? This is where applications really come to life. Be it cutting signs into shape or adding that extra shine to a promotional poster, finishing processes can really help you gain an advantage over the competition when it comes to making sure your work stands out.

| SCREENTEX | June - July 2016

Lamination is one method that not only offers signmakers and print companies the opportunity to do just this, but also help them protect the projects they have worked so hard on. After all, would you really want to install a billboard or poster without laminating it to protect it from the elements? With this in mind, what options are on offer to those in the sign-making and print sectors to allow them their protect work and help them ensure that it stands out in what is a very competitive market? Vital investment for print and sign businesses One company that stocks a host of solutions for this part of the process is Vivid Laminating Technologies, whose marketing communications, manager, David Smith says that the finish on any print or sign is the first thing that a customer will see, and is

therefore critical to get right. “The old adage ‘first impressions count’ has never been more true,” Smith said. “If you’re running a landscaping business and arrive at a potential customer in a van that has a fantastic vehicle wrap showing your work, that customer will remember you more than the company that turn up in a plain white van.” “Investing in a quality wideformat laminating machine is vital, because your customers won’t get that first impression chance with their customers again.” “If you’ve spent a large percentage of your budget on a new high quality wide-format printer, why would you then opt for a cheap laminator? You might be able to print an incredible graphic, but if the finish is poor because of your laminator, you’ve wasted ink, vinyl, electricity and time. “The quality will be bad, your customer won’t accept a badly finished job, you won’t get any repeat business or recommendations from the customer and you’ll make a name for yourself as producing secondrate jobs.” With this in mind, Smith highlights some of the options on offer from Vivid, such as the Easymount range, which has picked up a number of industry awards. The pressure sensitive cold range starts at 650mm wide, and goes up to 2,100mm hot and heat assist systems. One product in particular, the Easymount Air, which recently won Wide-format & Signage magazine’s ‘Reader’s Choice Top Product Award’, is a 1600mm-wide system that runs at speeds of up

GUEST COLUMN to 10m a minute and can mount up to 30mm, and also features an optional take-up reel for roll-toroll lamination. “The system uses one of the most advanced concepts ever seen in a wide format laminator,” Smith said. “Pneumatic air pressure controls the laminating rollers, allowing the user to mount and laminate with incredible accuracy. This allows the rollers to adjust to the exact thickness and pressure required, giving faster production times. The top roller ‘floats’ down, ensuring Foamex and fluted boards aren’t crushed. When the rollers achieve the correct substrate thickness, they can be locked in place to keep the required gap, making board feeding faster and more accurate.” How to make your print ‘pop’ While the actual technology used to laminate applications is one consideration, the type of material you use in the process is another matter altogether. This is where companies such as Antalis can help out by supplying materials suitable for the job that you are working on. Mark Browne, sign and digital support manager at Antalis, picks up on the point regarding the ability for laminates to protect work and improve its appearance,

adding that the company has a host of option on offer to help. Browne said: “Wideformat printers should invest in quality laminates for several reasons; most importantly, to obtain optimum clarity, high performance and longevity. High performance face materials, combined with clear, high UV absorbing adhesives, offer superior ink protection whilst making the print ‘pop’ for a vibrant image. “Poorly manufactured laminate films will typically suffer from shrinkage due to how the face film is produced. Cheapness has to come from somewhere and normally it’s the ingredients of the material that account for the saving. “Adhesive coating is important to have a clean atmosphere environment to give good results. Many lower quality films have been produced in factories where clean environmental procedures are not present. You may find foreign matter in the adhesives reflecting through the face film once laminated, such as debris.” Browne moves on to highlight some of the options on offer from Antalis, namely the solutions from Drytac Europe, a UK-based manufacturer that is known in the industry for its

supply of photographic quality and high UV stability films of the past. He added: “These qualities have been developed in order to now produce high performance printable vinyl’s with high UV laminates for the wide-format market as part of Drytac’s evaluation with print technologies.” Sign-making and wide-format options available from Drytac include high quality Anti-Graffiti UV films, developed for UV print output, as well as high coat weight adhesives with additives that offer bond and endurance for UV ink protection. In addition, Drytac offers a host of protection films, ranging from environmentally friendly films, through to high performance Weathershield films. Browne added: “Drytac offers a matched component warranty on its printable vinyls. This gives customers peace of mind because, when vinyl and laminate are combined with a manufacturer’s original inks, they will provide performance that is expected.” Motoring ahead with ‘overlaminates’ Of course, lamination is also used in other areas of the industry away from the more traditional signmaking and wide-format work. Avery Dennison is one company that can testify for this, supplying its overlaminate products to those in the vehicle wrapping market. One of the firm’s most popular product ranges is the Conform Chrome Series, which can be seen on vehicles of all shapes and sizes around the world. Avery Dennison recently moved expand this portfolio further with the addition of three special ‘Transparent Coloured Overlaminates’. Available in orange, green and purple, the latest overlaminates are designed to combine with the five existing Conform Chrome colours

to help users create new colour possibilities. Oliver Guenther, marketing director, for Avery Dennison Graphics Solutions Europe, said: “We are the first to market a coloured cast overlaminate film designed specifically for vehicle wraps and excited to see the installers’ creative colour

| SCREENTEX | June - July 2016

combinations. With the trend of chrome finishes gaining in popularity, the new product allows installers to offer even more creative solutions.” When used together with Conform Chrome, the transparent films not only allow for the creation of new colours, but also add a layer of protection that prevents the film underneath from being scratched. ModiForce in Leusden, the Netherlands, is one company that has already put the new films to use, using them in a number of recent vehicle wrap projects. Eddy Speelman from the Dutch firm said: “The Transparent Coloured Overlaminates are a jaw dropper and definite conversation piece. I am getting such a positive response to

the colours made possible by these transparent green, orange and purple overlaminates. I’m constantly finding myself in conversation about how amazing the colour looks.” While many see lamination as a method or protecting work from being damaged, it is clear that this technology goes much deeper than this and can allow the user to add an extra layer to their work. Be it giant billboards, film posters or even a wrap of a racing car, lamination can go a long way in helping an application stand out.

How to get started with discharge printing By CPS William Shorter and Liam Stubbings of Pyramid Textiles edged trough, noting that too thin a stencil may break down and pinhole during printing. However, make sure that thicker coatings are dried and exposed fully in order to get the best print life. For an emulsion with a solids content of less than 40% you will need to coat at 1+2, 2+2 or greater. For emulsions with solids content greater than 40% you will need to coat at 1+1 or 1+2 and always coat slowly to reduce air bubbles which could cause pinholes.

When printing discharge inks, temperature and the length of time the print is in the dryer is of paramount importance.

With the forecast for high-end textiles set to grow, the demand for soft-finish prints on dark garments continues to increase creating the need for more discharge screen printing. This printing process can be quite daunting due to its complexities and special demands on the durability of the stencil systems during long print runs. Here are tips and tricks that might be handy for you: Choose the correct emulsion Discharge screen printing inks are one of the most aggressive ink systems for textile screen printing. They have a tendency to cause both mechanical (caused by discharge additives and wear of the squeegee) and chemical breakdown of direct emulsion stencils. Not only should the stencil have robust water resistance, it should also be specifically designated as resistant to discharge inks. Typically the stencil system

| SCREENTEX | June - July 2016

will either be a dual cure diazo emulsion, water resistant photopolymer emulsion or a water resistant photopolymer emulsion with the addition of diazo. Choose the correct mesh count Mesh count directly affects your ink deposit so, we advise 35 to 48 threads per cm for clear base and base whites and 48 to 90 threads per cm for halftones and fine detail. Recommended mesh tension Minimum mesh tension should be >20 newtons. Preferably all meshes should have the same mesh tension for accurate registration. Invest in a tension meter, as it might save you time in the process and reduce the risks of poor registration. Emulsion coating guidelines Coat the emulsion with a round

Dry the emulsion thoroughly All drying cabinets for direct stencil systems should have a maximum temperature of 40°C with ideal conditions being 30-35°C with a low relative humidity. If the screen is not dried thoroughly it will break down quickly on the press. This is why in the summer months when the humidity increases, screen printers often experience more screens breaking down. Mixing wet screens in a dryer, which have been exposed and washed out, along with freshly coated screens, is another common reason for poor drying and stencil breakdown. Top tip: installing a dehumidifier can help with managing humidity levels in the dryer. Don’t under expose Under exposure of the emulsion is one of the most common mistakes and will compromise stencil durability. It is really important to check the exposure time of your emulsion periodically to see signs

GUEST COLUMN in reduction of UV lamp output. Ideally, this should be done every month using an exposure calculator. Where possible, and specifically when wanting to print fine detail, the use of yellow or orange mesh should be your preference as white mesh can cause undercutting due to reflection of the light during exposure. Increased use of CTS (Computer to Screen) equipment means that stencils are exposed with different forms of laser or LED light sources. Particular care needs to be taken to ensure correct exposure and ‘through cure’ of the stencil. Top tip: If the emulsion feels slimy on the squeegee side during washing out, you haven’t achieved full exposure and print durability will be compromised. Chemically harden or post expose? If you’ve completed step 6 correctly you shouldn’t need to post expose. Post exposing a dual cure emulsion will have very minimal effect on the durability of the stencil system, whereas Photopolymer emulsions can significantly benefit from post exposure. Chemical hardening can help improve the durability of stencil systems for discharge printing, especially for long print runs. However a drawback to

chemical hardening is that stencil decoating will be compromised and you may have to resort to using a knife to cut out the mesh rather than using a stencil remover! What ink should I choose? Not all discharge inks are the same. Some are designed to give an ultra-low hand (feel) and other inks are formulated to give a slightly harsher feel but with a brighter look. The most important consideration is to understand what visual and tactile result your customer is looking to achieve in the final printed garment. An assured way for both you and your customer to understand and agree on this is to provide swatch samples that demonstrate the range of final effects that are achieved through the use of different inks. Going Green? If you’re looking to provide printed garments that are produced using greener sustainable products then you could consider an ink system that is approved by trade associations such as GOTS, bluesign and OekoTec. Next let’s look at a couple of process tips for the printing stage: Use the correct amount of squeegee pressure In order to obtain a nice bright, soft print, it is important use the correct amount of squeegee pressure. Too low and you will only get a partial print, too

high and you may crush the fabric and smear the image. Top tip: After curing turn the garment inside out and check to see if you can see the image on the inside. If you can this means you have achieved a full level of ink penetration. Get the dryer temperature correct When printing discharge inks, not only the temperature of the dryer but also the length of time the print is in the dryer is of paramount importance. The ink needs to be in the dryer for a minimum of 90 seconds at 160°C. Always double check the temperature that the garment reaches using temperature strips periodically. Never rely solely on the reading of your dryer being accurate especially if it hasn’t been calibrated or serviced recently. This now leaves you with the question – have I got it right? Firstly, are the colours vibrant and as expected by the customer? Is the ‘feel’ right and does it meet customer expectations and how durable will the printed image be? The only viable method to ensure that your garment has been successfully printed and cured is to test it yourself. To do this take one of your printed garments and wash it at the recommended temperature and check that your image is as you expected it to be. If you have been able to achieve all of the above, getting it right first time and using safer consumables with low environmental impact, you can give yourself a pat on the back!

I was intrigued by screen printing comfortable with the machine before making an investment. During this course, I learnt a lot about the machine, the technology and the technique of doing screen printing using automated machines. Once I was comfortable with the technology I invested in the machine. I was only 22 when I made the investment. It was a big move for me. The printing facility has several machine and employs over 35 people. The printing facility is manned by a staff of eight.

The challenge was to manage rising costs with falling prices. The market is price conscious and employees are always rooting for a better salary. This is where the company reputation comes into play. Unless you build good relation with your customers. 40

I was waiting for an opportunity to embark on my entrepreneurial journey. My father was running a screen printing facility which utilised printing table technique. I was quite intrigued by the way screen printing works, and I decided I will start my business in screen printing only. How did you move to automated machines since your first interaction was with table-top machines? In 2013, I set up a unit and extensively did marketing for the company for six months. This was when I realised that customers were looking at automation and machine printed materials. At one such instance, I was introduced to Spoorthy Technologies. Ramesh Ganduri was the one who introduced me to automated machines. He explained the benefits and also showed me SRoque machines. Instead of just selling the machine, he insisted that I visit different customers, test the machine, and see if I am

What are the challenges you faced The tussle is no different for us than anyone in any other industry. The challenge was to manage rising costs with falling prices. The market is price conscious and employees are always rooting for a better salary. This is where the company reputation comes into play. Unless you build good relation with your customers through exemplary works, there is no way they would support you for better prices. What is the USP of your company? Design is the USP in printing. If your creative juices arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t flowing, you may disappear among the vanilla printers. Digital is slowly gaining traction. Considering you took less than a year to experiment with automation, are you also looking at digital textile printing? Digital is still not very cost effective. For printers who are looking at export as the key business drivers, digital will prove to be an inefficient investment. Unless the cost of digital print becomes viable, we will not be considering opting for it.

SPOTLIGHT

Automation is driving textile printing’s future

In conversation with ScreenTex, TR Shrikanth of Premier Printing – Tirupur discuss the past, present and future of printing in Tirupur Situated in the hub of textile printing in India, Premier Printing has been at the core of the transformational journey of the region. “The company was started

Many of these units never showcased the units, machines and almost never spoke about the configuration of machines on the shopfloor. But we were different. We wanted not just us but the whole industry to benefit from automation 44

| SCREENTEX | June - July 2016

in 1990 with small table printing. Gradually we kept on adding more tables to the shopfloor. In 1994 we installed over 10 tables to improve our production capabilities. It was in 1996 that we started adding manual machines. In this period, screen printing too was evolving. We initially used to use pigments, dyes and binders at the shopfloor. But eventually the market started seeing an influx of PVC inks,” says TR Shrikanth, the owner of the company. The change in consumables and technology also brought in drastic change in the quality of screen printing in the country. In fact, it was the market forces which drove screen printers to adopt PVC inks. Exports are the bread and butter for Tirupur printers, and when printers were apprised of the increasing global

demand for prints using PVC inks, it was a no brainer that they too had to imbibe the trend. Later the trend of plastisol inks took over the market. “It was mid-90s when plastisol inks entered the market. So we tried to experiment with it,” he says. “We learnt from our mistakes in the initial days. For instance, we used to flash cure the whole printing area, and since we were not trained how to cure plastisol prints, we followed the same method; only to realise that the textile was getting burnt. Then, we called expert trainers from US to train us on the machines. The result was phenomenal,” he adds. The company then started phasing out manual machines and moved towards automatic machines. Today, the more than 20,000 sqft facility houses glass tables, six chest printing M.H.M computerized fully automatic machine from Austria, KORNIT digital printing machine from Israel, EPSON SC-7070 sublimation machine from Japan, Hebbecker Multicolor flocking machine from Germany, TAS machine from Australia, Monti roll to roll fusing machine from Italy, eight-colour rotary printing machine from StoreMac RD-IV, and Lakshmi 12-colours open machine with print width of 72-inch. “Our workers who helped us in automation of the units,” he says. “Our workers were deft in their skills and technique and automation would have only helped us do better. Hence, we started implementing more automated machines at our unit.” “In those days, automated machines could only be spotted at

SPOTLIGHT export units,” he claims. “Many of these units never showcased the units, machines and almost never spoke about the configuration of machines on the shopfloor. But we were different. We wanted the whole industry to benefit from automation. We opened our facility to anyone who was keen to understand how these machines functioned,” he adds with a tint of pride in his voice. In 2004, TEKPA was organised and since then over 1000 automated machines have made their way to Tirupur. “The biggest achievement for Tirupur was when small business owners embraced automation,” he says. Later, he also initiated TEKPA dies and chemicals for the benefit of Tirupur printers. Through the show they could get the right dies and

chemicals at the right price. According to his estimates the automation drive in Tirupur in last one decade would have seen investment of around Rs. 800- 1000 crores. “From 2010, the world started seeing the expertise of Tirupur printers on global award platforms such as FESPA Awards. Not only did the industry win awards it created a brand for Tirupur in the global sphere,” he added. We also realised that experimentation offered us great insights and courage to learn from our experiences. Recounting one such experience, he said, “In 2005, we got a big order for foil printing. Foil printing was new for Indian market. We set up samples and the exported ordered for 2.5

lakh pieces. But that meant that we need 1500 rolls to do the foil printing. We reached out to a Mumbai based supplier, and paid in advance. However, he didn’t supply the material properly. I had to personally visit Mumbai, wait for the dealer and then get the material. But this taught us that being prepared is always important. If we would have not acted on time, we could have lost the order.” Today, Tirupur being known as textile hub has helped every printer in the region to source best quality materials. The domestic market now is equally quality conscious and to meet the criteria we need to source right materials. Till the time the industry would print right, using right materials, processes and with zero-error acceptance, the growth will always be short of expectation.

TECHNOLOGY

Decoding fountain solutions

Since successful ink transfer requires compatible chemistry, matching ink and fountain solutions is critical. The fountain solutions must keep the printing plate clean while allowing the ink to transfer efficiently. These properties can be provided by use of a fountain solution concentrate.

Examples of pH value

In view of the huge variety of printing substrates, inks, printing circumstances and types of dampening units, differentiation in fountain solution concentrates is an absolute necessity. Today, manufacturers of fountain solution concentrates offer many different

| SCREENTEX | June - July 2016

types of concentrate for the different types of presses. Ongoing changes in application conditions (new press types, new plate types, IPA-free printing, etc) will require new recipe concepts and, as a result, new and more specialised fountain solution concentrates will continue to be developed. Composition of fountain solution concentrates Fountain solution concentrates are aqueous mixtures of different components • Buffer systems to adjust pH value • Film forming hydrophilic and wetting substances • Biocides, fungicides, for anti-microbial equipment • Complexing agents to bind scaling components • Anti-piling agents • Co-solvents to keep the system homogeneous • Anti-foam agents • Corrosion inhibitors • Release agents (alcohol free and alcohol reduced). Fountain solution components are very proprietary and often customised to a specific plant. Measurements help determine

their effectiveness both before and during printing. Here are the key measurements. 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. The figures of the scale are the mathematical (negative logarithmic) expression of the hydrogen ion concentration in a water-based solution. For example, pH 4 represents a 104 concentration of hydrogen ions (i.e. 1 part in 10,000 parts), and pH 7 means 107 (1 part in 10 million parts). 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.

TECHNOLOGY 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. Conductivity Conductivity is a liquidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. This property is used to determine the dosage of fountain solution, or assess the quality of the tap water. The diagram below shows that conductivity versus dosage normally is a linear correlation and starts with the value of the pure solvent (tap water, reverse osmosis water). The curve depends on the type of fountain solution. An absolute conductivity value is not very significant for its quality. What is decisive is the slope of the curve. The influence of paper on conductivity, depending on paper type, is often expressed as an increase of conductivity (5â&#x20AC;&#x201C;10%) of the fountain solution caused by paper components extracted out of the top layer. However, in practice such values are always influenced by natural processes of production and consumption of the fountain solution, which means that the interaction cannot be easily expressed by way of a simple graphic. A high conductivity does not necessarily cause problems. Fountain additives with IPA replacement often have a high

conductivity to start with. Increasing conductivity on press points to contaminated fountain solution, which can lead to problems due to a disturbed ink / water balance: ink piling, poor ink drying, too high dot gain, poor print quality. All of this means that different types of additives can result in different conductivity values at the same dosage level, without any relation to quality. Conductivity decreases when the IPA percentage is raised. Buffers 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. Viscosity and its relation to fount transfer Viscosity is the degree of internal bonding of a liquid as a result of the attraction of molecules. In the same way, transfer of a liquid over a pair of rollers will be influenced strongly by internal molecular bonding. When viscosity increases, mass transfer increases as well (up to a given maximum). Therefore, in fountain solutions, there are two important parameters which influence the amount of

transferred liquid: 1. Temperature 2. IPA dosage Viscosity and temperature Temperature is a measure for the amount of molecule motion. Higher temperatures are the result of more intensive internal motion of the material and increasing intermolecular space. This in turn implies decreasing attraction of the molecules, and thus a lower viscosity. Higher viscosity at lower temperatures produces a thicker fluid film on rollers, which leads to better transfer over a wide range of roller speeds. Influence of IPA dosage One of the most remarkable effects of the use of IPA is a change in viscosity. This is caused by the formation of three-dimensional network structures in the liquid, which results in an increase of viscosity at certain dosage ranges. This means that IPA dosage also has a significant influence on the transfer behaviour of fountain solutions. Printers notice that transfer is reduced when the IPApercentage is lowered. Depending on the quality of the fountain solution, this has to be compensated for by increasing pan roller speed. Some fount specialists recommend the use of special rollers, sometimes combined with temperature reduction to imitate the viscosity effects of IPA. Corrosion Corrosion inhibitors in the fountain solution prevent corrosion on plate, blanket and (in sheetfed) impression cylinders. Quality fountain solutions are certified for corrosion. For many press manufacturers, this certification is a pre-condition for inclusion of corrosion damaged press parts in their warranty regulations.

TECHNOLOGY Anti-piling additives Anti-piling additives in the fountain solution counteract build-up on blankets. Due to this reduced buildup, the wash intervals decrease considerably. Also, the life cycle of plates, especially plates that have not been cured, can be significantly extended when there is no piling. Surface tension of fountain solutions Conventional fountain solutions based on a fountain concentrate plus IPA have a surface tension of about 40 mN/m, when the percentage of IPA is 8% or higher. The surface tension is nearly identical under static and dynamic circumstances, and adding more IPA does not lower the surface tension significantly. When fountain solutions based on a fountain concentrate without IPA are used, the

| SCREENTEX | June - July 2016

surfactants in the concentrate have to take over the role of IPA. Combined laboratory and field tests have shown that appropriate IPA-free fountain solutions have to meet the following parameters: • In a 3% solution the surface tension must be lower than 45 mN/m at 10 Hz tested in a BP2 bubble tension meter (simulates the dynamic surface tension on high-speed presses). • The slope of the tension curve between 1 Hz and 10 Hz must be as flat as possible to avoid printing problems due to differences in press speed. • The BP2 curves of the 3% and 5% solutions have to be closely aligned. If not, there is a danger of overdose sensitivity. • The BP2 test should always

be combined with an interfacial tension test. This is done by checking the contact angle of a 3% solution on an ink surface. Here as well, the fountain solution has to meet a certain value. BP2 tests, therefore, can be indicative of the wetting of the plates. The tests reveal whether the fountain solution is able to wet the plate fast enough in thin layers at high speeds. Measuring the interfacial tension will give an indication as to the sensitivity to emulsification. These two parameters must always be tested together, because it is possible for certain fountain solutions to reach their ideal BP2 curve (lower than 45 mN/m at 10 Hz) with a 4% solution, but at this concentration, they may have insufficient contact angle.

Print Faults - Making and fixing them By Tricia Church recommended. They include tape marks on the positive, a thumb print in the drying filler, filler breakdown, coating lines in the emulsion from using a (deliberately) bad trough, flooding, filling in, etc. etc. Some of the details of the print settings have been removed from this photograph to ensure that the makers of the ink, press, mesh etc. don’t get blamed for our deliberate mistakes. The wrong stencil Flooding and filling in came mostly because we deliberately used an emulsion with a high Rz (10µm). With a strong squeegee pressure the ink gave massive dot gain. When we re-printed with a lowRz capillary film using the same press settings, the flooding/ filling disappeared.

A very bad print

Like everyone, I get faults in my prints. To fix them I need to know the root cause. My favourite resource for finding the root cause is a set of bad prints I made some years ago. These are very special bad prints because, under the wise tuition of

A print with many deliberate faults – one of 28 fault-based prints we made

| SCREENTEX | June - July 2016

Bill Appleton, I had set things up deliberately badly in order to see what happened when things were wrong. I find that it is very easy to spot the deliberate mistake in my set of bad prints and then reset my printing in order to correct for that fault. I can’t give you a copy of my bad prints, but I can give you the next best thing which is pictures of many of those bad prints along with the explanation of what I deliberately did wrong. Hopefully you will find this a useful practical guide for your own problem solving. It’s important to include a range of challenging features in any test printing. The image from the Serilor Log test suite is particularly challenging and insightful and is highly

The wrong mesh Slur from a slack mesh, or too large a squeegee drag. These two samples show different slurs in different prints but the cause is the same. The squeegee is coming from right to left and because the mesh is too slack and/or the pressure/drag is too large, the squeegee slides the mesh along giving the slur directly connected to the main image. In bad cases shown on the left, the squeegee actually judders up and down, taking the stencil with it and printing a light ghost of the main image when it next judders back into (distorted) contact. All these lines should look like the line along the bottom of the image. But we used a mesh that was too small for the ink

TECHNOLOGY particles and we have classic “sieving” where the particles block the mesh holes. You can get something like this if the ink dries in, but this ink was resistant to drying in and we did not get the effect with a coarser mesh. Note that the particles aren’t extremely large, but if a hole is <3x the width of the particles then it gets blocked very quickly. In this case there were only 2-3 mesh holes/line width so you can judge that the particles were near the critical 3x limit. We deliberately waited for some time after the flood stroke before printing – and used an ink with no added retarder. Naturally the ink had dried in, blocking some of the holes, giving the classic drying in pattern. We could also achieve drying in only at the image at the start of the print stroke. This is because the ink remaining in the mesh after the print had had longer to dry in before it was re-flooded. We used a very viscous (nonreduced) ink. As the squeegee went along, the drag on the mesh from the ink was too large and the mesh was slow to release. Towards the end of the print, the mesh came out of the ink in a sudden rush. The 1-2-3 shows that there is a “liquid bridge” underneath the mesh. If this breaks in a gentle manner, the drop of

How teardrops fall onto your print

ink formed by the break simply goes down onto the print. With a violent release the drop can fly off in all directions. These ink particles were a few mm away from the edge of a solid printed block. It’s easy to imagine that a viscoelastic (“stringy”, “tacky”) ink would give not individual drops like these but “cobweb” strings. Teardrops Although these were very easy to see on the print, it was impossible to get a good photo of them. You’ve probably seen them yourself –blobs of ink (a few mm diameter) often in a straight line, randomly over the print. We made them appear by using a tacky ink and a weak squeegee. The combination meant that during the squeegee stroke, ink built up on the wrong side of the squeegee – partly through hydroplaning, partly because viscoelastic inks naturally “climb” under shear. After a while, there is enough ink built up on the squeegee that it can drop off and fall through the mesh onto the print – giving the characteristic teardrop shape: This screen was deliberately badly cleaned. When we printed it there was a clear ghost image

visible. Under the microscope, the ghost is made of patches of unprinted ink. With this mesh and ink, mesh-marking is especially strong and the ghost image seems to magnify the effect. We threw some dust onto the press during printing and, not surprisingly, got these “hickies” which would not be appreciated by a customer! Orange peel This is hard to image but easy to spot. There are many causes of orange peel, all coming down to the fact that the ink is generally unhappy when it’s drying. So printing an incompatible ink on top of another gives one type of orange peel (that’s what we did to ensure we saw it). Having the wrong solvent blend, or too much thinner is another way. The cause of this sort of orange peel is interesting and is sometimes called the Marangoni effect. As the

TECHNOLOGY Dust

Dust can have a devastating effect on a print

more- volatile solvent evaporates it leaves behind a solvent mix with a different surface tension. Ink flows from high to low surface tension so you start to get instabilities. These instabilities work in 3 dimensions and you start to get regular cells where solvent is

rising in one point and sinking in another. Under the right (or wrong!) conditions these cells can form perfect hexagons, the classic mark of the extreme Marangoni effect. The cure is either more gentle drying, more compatible solvents (less difference in volatility, less difference in surface tension) or a more effective surface active agent which swamps differences in surface energy. Belt marks Again this is a problem thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easily visible on the print but hard to show in a photograph. You see a broad regular pattern on the print that coincides with the pattern of the belt that conveys your prints through the oven. We got the

pattern to appear when the oven was too hot. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to show you the images because you know what they look like, but it was a useful exercise deliberately to dry or to humidify a print before printing the same image on top of it. The dried print shrank by 2mm over a 400mm print (0.5%) and the humidified print expanded by 1mm (0.25%). Such gross misregistrations are easy to spot, but doing this test was a reminder that for precision printing, exact equilibration of the substrate between prints is of great importance. For paper, the effect of water is well-known. But the effects on plastic substrates are less wellknown.
