Surface Free Energy of Paper and Inks: Printability Issues

Details:

Year: 1993

Pages: 13

Summary:

A Wilhelmy plate apparatus (Cahn Dynamic Contact Angle Analyzer) has been used to measure surface free energies of paper and inks. The role of surface energy in predictive print performance is discussed. The experimental methodology is described as are issues related to ink adhesion, penetration, and wetting. The importance of variation in paper surface chemistry in determining printability is highlighted.
