Rubbing Fastness Properties of Ink Jet Prints on Plastic Materials
Journal Title: Machine Design - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
During exploitation, plastic materials printed with ink jet printing technique are quite often exposed to various influences (rubbing, heat, UV radiation, moisture, washing, etc.). Those influences can affect the quality of the print over time. One of the most influential factors is rubbing process, which affects deposited colorants (ink) on the surface of the substrate. As a result, colorimetric characteristics of the print are changed. Research was done using five plastic materials with different characteristic. Printing machine Durst RHO 750 was used to produce the samples. Printed samples were submitted to 4 series of 50 rubbing strokes using TF411 Electronic Crockmeter. Colorimetric measurements of the samples were taken after each series of rubbing and colour difference was calculated accordingly.
