Goal(s)

Learning outcomes :

  • To know the main characteristics of printing inks and varnishes, according to the different printing processes: typical compositions, drying processes
  • To identify the causes of some printing problems related to inks
  • To use special inks, such as applications to new technologies (e. g. microelectronics).

Responsible(s)

Content(s)

1.Introduction : general characteristics of printing inks
2.Pigments soluble dyes
3.Offset inks
4.Flexo and gravure inks
5.Ink jet inks and Toners
6.Screen-printing inks
7.UV-curable inks
8.Rheological and physico-chemical properties of printing inks
9. Introduction to functional inks

Objective of the TP
Study of rheological properties typical of printing inks.
Use of laboratory equipment specific to inks.

Prerequisites

  • Rheology
  • Physico-chemistry
  • Printing processes
  • Polymer chemistry

Accessibility for people with disabilities : please contact us for further information

Test

  • Specific credits: this course brings 2.5 ECTS to students in Print sciences processes & materials

Only 1 written exam for the 3 courses: colorimetry, inks and photophysics, photochemistry
can be made up in 2nd session

TP CR, not catch up in 2nd session

For TPs
To be returned within a maximum of 15 days after the session 2.
Plan: 1) Introduction - 2) Experimental materials and techniques - 3) Results and discussion - 4) Conclusions.
Attach your measurement tables to the report (in annex for example).
The idea is that we can do the TP again without the statement!

La note d'examen écrit est une évaluation commune au trois cours : colorimétrie, encre et photophysique-photochimie.

Note CM coeff de 55 - Note TP coeff 10
Note finale (55*CM +10*TP)/65

The exam may be taken in french or in english FR FR

Environmental security

La sécurité est prise en compte dans cet enseignement surtout pendant les TP : utilisation d'encres et de solvants de nettoyage. Une sensibilisation est faite sur les bonnes pratiques en laboratoire encres.
Par ailleurs, le contenu du cours sur les encres comprend des éléments relatifs au développement durable : éco-conception, recyclage (notamment désencrage)etc.
