    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pounce_(powder)

    Pounce is gently sprinkled all over the writing on the paper. When using a quill or a steel nib, and with inks that are made up to match those typically in use during the 18th and 19th centuries, and provided the pen has been used with the fine strokes typical of handwriting of that period, the handwriting will be sufficiently dry within 10 seconds to allow the paper to be folded without blotting.

  3. Paper and ink testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_and_ink_testing

    Ink requirement is defined as the amount of ink needed to print a unit area with a standard Solid Ink Density. For newsprint, the ISO 12647-3 specification is C 0.90, M 0.90, Y 0.90 and K 1.10, Status E, D50, 2o, density minus paper with polarization filter. Ink requirement is measured as g/m2 (grams of ink required to print 1 m2 of paper)

    Yellow cyan magenta and black solid ink sticks. The black ink stick is cut in half. Solid ink (also known as hot melt ink [1] [2]) is a type of ink used in printing.Solid ink is a waxy, resin-based polymer that must be melted prior to usage, unlike conventional liquid inks.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ink

    Over time, the ink is chemically stable and therefore does not threaten the paper's strength. Despite these benefits, carbon ink is not ideal for permanence and ease of preservation. Carbon ink tends to smudge in humid environments and can be washed off surfaces. The best method of preserving a document written in carbon ink is to store it in a ...

  6. Correction fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correction_fluid

    A correction fluid (or correction liquid) is an opaque, usually white fluid applied to paper to mask errors in text. Once dried, it can be handwritten or handdrawn upon. It is typically packaged in small bottles, with lids attached to brushes (or triangular pieces of foam) that dip into the fluid. The brush applies the fluid to the paper.

  7. Anti-set-off spray powder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-set-off_spray_powder

    In printing, anti-set-off spray powder is used to make an air gap between printed sheets of paper. This enables the ink to dry naturally and therefore avoid the unwanted transfer of ink from one printed sheet to another. The problem can occur with most types of printing.

  8. Set-off (printing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set-off_(printing)

    In printing, set-off is the term given to the unwanted transfer of ink from one printed sheet to another. The problem can occur with most types of printing, and is avoided by the use of slipsheets between copies (so any ink transfer occurs onto discardable paper) or anti-set-off spray powder.

  9. Trap (printing) - Wikipedia

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

    In printing, trap expresses the degree to which ink already printed on a substrate accepts another layer printed on top of it compared to how well the substrate (e.g., paper) accepts that ink. However, in the era of prepress software, the term came to refer to compensation for misregistration (when two layers of ink are not perfectly aligned ...
