Goal(s)
Learning outcomes :
- To understand the operation, ink flow control and print control for industrial inkjet and electrophotographic printing processes.
- To know the associated materials (ink, toner, supports...etc.)
- To know the advantages and limitations of these different processes
- To present an image of the digital process market (manufacturers, applications...etc.)

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.
