Where did the ink go? Effects of liquid absorption in flexography
An important part of packaging is the printed packaging surface, communicating a message to the consumers. Poor printing quality can affect the perception of the packaging as well as the product. A new doctoral thesis focusing on ink distribution in flexography enables the control of printing quality already in the paper mill production process.”A printed image can consist of several layers of ink and the distribution within each layer cab affect the quality of the image”, says Sofia Thorman, industrial doctoral student in chemical engineering at Karlstad University and researcher RISE,
