Printing Technologies and Applications (eBook, ePUB)

A multidisciplinary roadmap

Beschreibung

Print is all around us and plays a vital role in our lives. It provides the means to communicate messages cheaply and with impact. It is an important vehicle for advertising, education, entertainment, information and plays a substantial role in modern manufacturing. Even though it is still mostly done on paper, print is applied to all kinds of substrates, from silk to steel, plastic to glass. In the book the interactions between printing method, ink and substrate surface will be discussed in order to achieve optimal results and durability.

Print, its history and influence are described. In addition, different printing methods are explored. Finally, the scientific foundations of ink-making and printing are elucidated.

Autor

Susanne Klein is a physicist by training and has worked as a Royal Society Research Associate at the University of Bristol, and then as a Senior Research Scientist at Hewlett Packard Labs Bristol. With her expertise in colloidal chemistry, optics and 3D printing, she is working on the reinvention of old printing technologies, such as Woodburytype and Lippmann photography, which will allow production of high-quality prints for advertising, packaging, fashion and, at the same time, include fake-proof security features.

Carinna Parraman's understanding of 2.5D printing has evolved through her training in fine art print-making. She is Professor of Design Colour and Printing and Director at the Centre for Fine Print Research. She has in-depth knowledge of traditional colour mixing, colour printing and photomechanical printing processes. She collaborates with many different sectors including industry, heritage and fine-art print.
