  • Droplet generation mechanism
  • Ink nature and properties
  • Prediction of inkjetability: Dimensionless approach
  • Ink/Substrate interactions
  • Market players
  • Conclusion and future trends

(2) Electrophotography

  • Principle
  • Imaging system (image generation)
  • Inking unit + différent kind of toners
  • Toner fusing
  • Subtrate for electrophotography / toner/substrate interactions

(3) Other digital printing processes
Ionography, Magnetography, Elcography, Thermal printing...

Prerequisites

Lessons on 'inks' are complementary

Test

  • Specific credits: this course brings 1.5 ECTS to students in Print sciences processes & materials

Note = 100 % Written exam to control knowledge (in common with Flexography and Offset)

IN DISTANCE MODE (Health Crisis): Exam organized via distancing tools and signing of charter of commitment.

La note de TP tient compte de la méthode de diagnostic employée, de l'utilisation de l'aide au diagnostic, du nombre de problèmes résolus

The grade of the practical work takes into account the diagnosis method used, the use of the software help

La note du DS est une évaluation commune au trois cours : Flexographie, offset, procédés numériques.
