Measuring cockling on-line in high speed inkjet printing
Abstract:Cockling of paper is unwanted out-of-plane deformation arising from variations in humidity. Paper is typically characterised by measurements of dimensional changes when slowly changing the humidity or by measurements of cockling on printed paper after printing. Here, a novel experimental set-up is presented in which cockling can be measured on-line at high speed in the inkjet printing process. Cockling was recorded as a function of time. It is shown that the cockling is several orders of magnitude higher during printing than after printing. Measurements on three papers are reported.

For more than 25 years, NIP has been the leading forum for discussion of advances and new directions in non-impact and digital printing technologies. A comprehensive, industry-wide conference, this meeting includes all aspects of the hardware, materials, software, images, and applications associated with digital printing systems, including drop-on-demand ink jet, wide format ink jet, desktop and continuous ink jet, toner-based electrophotographic printers, production digital printing systems, and thermal printing systems, as well as the engineering capability, optimization, and science involved in these fields.
Since 2005, NIP has been held in conjunction with the Digital Fabrication Conference.
