An ink transfer is modeled and experimentally verified using roll-to-roll electric direct gravure printing process. The ink transfer model based on the physical mechanism for the maximum ink transfer rate is proposed, and experimented by the electric printing machine in FDRC for the relations of the maximum ink transfer rates to the printing pressure, the operating speed, the operating tension, the surface roughness of substrates, and the contact angle between substrate and silver ink. The free ink split coefficient and immobilized ink under the maximum ink transfer rate are calculated by the physical parameter in a printing process and contact angle between substrates and ink. Numerical simulations and experimental studies were carried out to verify performances of the proposed ink transfer model. Results showed that the proposed ink transfer model was effective for the prediction of the amount of transferred ink to the substrate in a direct gravure printing systems.

Ink transfer process is very important to determine quality of printed pattern, therefore its mechanism should be understood to control printing quality. Although there have been many attempts to understand ink transfer mechanism by numerical simulation and experimental studies, their model was too much simple to model realistic printing process and our understanding is not enough yet. In this paper we designed ink transfer visualization system to present flow visualization of ink transfer process for gravure offset printing. We considered rotational effect of blanket roll which is related with printing speed and used non-Newtonian fluid as working fluid such as Ag paste. For printing unit, cantilever-type blanket roll is used for convenient visualization of ink transfer. Serial images were captured continuously by using high-speed CMOS camera and long range microscope. We investigated the effects of various design parameters such as printing speed and pattern angle on the ink transfer process. We found more stretched ink filament for non-Newtonian fluid than Newtonian fluid. As increasing printing speed, length of stretched ink filament and height of break-up point are also increased. We also compared ink transfer process between CD and MD pattern and its relationship with ink transfer mechanism.

A new ink transfer model based on the physical mechanism for the maximum ink transfer rate is proposed, and examined by the experimental data of P.J Mangin et, al. for the relations of the maximum ink transfer rates to the printing pressure, the speed and the roughness of paper substrates. The free ink split coefficient and immobilized ink under the maximum ink transfer rate are calculated by the new model and the experimental data. It is concluded that the new model is very useful, and the free ink split coefficient and the immobilized ink are inversely propotional and propotional to the paper roughness respectively and both are saturated eventually under the critical values.

To increase the ink transfer rate in the micro-gravure-offset printing, the liquid transfer process between two separating plates is investigated. During the liquid transfer process, in which one plate is fixed and the other one moves vertically, a sessile droplet is separated into two droplets. The volume ratio of the two droplets depends on the contact angles of the two plates. In a numerical study of the ink transfer processes, liquid transfer between two parallel separating plates and between a trapezoidal cavity and an upward moving plate are simulated, as models of the printing of ink from the offset pad onto the substrate and the picking up of ink from the gravure plate by the offset pad, respectively. Also, in experimental study, to obtain various surface contact angles, chemical treatment, plasma treatment, and electrowetting- on-dielectric (EWOD) surface are considered. The transfer rate between two plates is calculated by analyzing the droplet images. From the results, the optimal surface contact angles of the units of the micro-gravure-offset printing can be characterized.

Printing ink is faced various shear stress situation until it transfer to the printed substrate through the press. And in each shear stress condition the ink is needed to keep the appropriate viscosity according to the condition. The change of printing ink viscosity has been explained by well-known through the viscosity profile curve. But actually, the quality of printed paper depends on the ink behavior after transfer the substrates. Like this, to look into the behaviour of the ink on the printed substrate, it is needed the experiment of the ink structure recovering by rheology study. In this study, by controling the $CaCO_3$ content in the ink, after investigating the effect of the ink's structure recovery of the pigment concentration, we intend to predict the printing quality of the ink behvior on the substrate depending on pigment content.

그라비아 프린팅 공정에서 고해상도의 패턴을 인쇄하기 위해서는 잉크가 기판으로 전사되는 양을 높이는 것이 중요하다. 일반적으로 잉크와 기판의 친화도가 높을수록 더 많은 양의 잉크를 전사시킬 수 있다. 하지만, 실제 산업에서 쓰이는 점탄성 잉크와 다양한 기판의 친화도를 정확히 평가하는 방법은 아직 제시된 바 없다. 본 연구에서는 점탄성 잉크와 다양한 기판의 계면 친화도를 실용적으로 평가할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

The rheological properties of an ink relate to its performance on the press and to the printing quality. So it is necessary to analyze the relationship between printability and the rheological properties of ink. Transfer rate of ink is one of the important factor deciding print quality. And it is concerned with rheological properties of ink. Thus, in this study, according to the molecular weight of rosin modified phenolic resin the rheological properties of ink were measured by rotational rheometer and then transfer equation of ink, density and gloss were mesured in order to examine the printability of ink.

In lithography based on repulsion of ink and water emulsification is inevitably generated. Thus it is necessary to analyze relationship between printability and physical and chemical properties of emulsified ink. Transfer rate of ink is one of the important factor deciding print quality. And it is closely concerned with rheological properties of emulsified ink. Rheological properties such as flow, yield, plastic viscosity, creep, oscillation and tack tests were measured. In order to examine printability of emulsified ink, ink transfer equations, density, ink film thickness and gloss were measured.
