Printing

Penetration of liquids is one of the most important criteria, especially for printability. The printing processes occur at such high speeds that penetration behavior in ranges from 0.2 to 0.5 seconds plays the most important role.

The dynamic measurements of wetting, penetration, and topography thus form a system, which can simulate processes in the nip to a large extent. According to the latest research, regulation of wetting and penetration speed may also be associated with solutions for many problems of printability, such as ghosting, increase of printer dots, and mottling.
