  2. Screen printing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_printing

    Screen printing is a printing technique where a mesh is used to transfer ink (or dye) onto a substrate, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil.A blade or squeegee is moved across the screen in a "flood stroke" to fill the open mesh apertures with ink, and a reverse stroke then causes the screen to touch the substrate momentarily along a line of contact.

  3. Quality control system for paper, board and tissue machines

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_control_system_for...

    A quality control system (QCS) refers to a system used to measure and control the quality of moving sheet processes on-line as in the paper produced by a paper machine. Generally, a control system is concerned with measurement and control of one or multiple properties in time in a single dimension.

  4. Digital printing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_printing

    Digital printing is a method of printing from a digital-based image directly to a variety of media. [1] It usually refers to professional printing where small-run jobs from desktop publishing and other digital sources are printed using large-format and/or high-volume laser or inkjet printers.

  5. Digital ceramic printing on glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_ceramic_printing...

    Until 2007 the two main methods of printing on glass were silk screen printing and digital UV printing. Silk screen printing, where the ink is applied directly onto the surface of the glass through a mesh stencil, was patented in 1907. Screen printed transfers, where the image is transferred from a paper onto the glass, was patented in the ...

  6. Typesetting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typesetting

    Before computers were invented, and thus becoming computerized (or digital) typesetting, font sizes were changed by replacing the characters with a different size of type. In letterpress printing, individual letters and punctuation marks were cast on small metal blocks, known as "sorts," and then arranged to form the text for a page.

  7. Printing registration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printing_registration

    [1] Machine components such as the print cylinder, doctor blade assembly, printing plates, stress/friction and more, affect the registration of the machine. [2] Inconsistencies among these components can cause the printing press to fall out of registration; that is when press operators will begin to see defects in their print.

  8. Printmaking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printmaking

    The essential tools required are a squeegee, a mesh fabric, a frame, and a stencil. Unlike many other printmaking processes, a printing press is not required, as screen printing is essentially stencil printing. Screen printing may be adapted to printing on a variety of materials, from paper, cloth, and canvas to rubber, glass, and metal.

  9. Trap (printing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trap_(printing)

    Manual traps can be applied at several stages in the workflow, using vector-based or raster-based adjustments. The choice depends on the type of output (packaging applications including flexo-printing have other requirements than commercial printing on offset systems) and the degree of interactivity or automation.
