This paper presents the study results regarding the analysis of the screen printing quality on different types of materials. The quality of the screen printing is determined by several particularities of the screen printing process such as: the type of mesh, screen ruling, ink viscosity, raster spacing, etc. The material which is supposed to be printed is as important as the particularities of the screen printing process itself. The composition, structure and features of the printed items as well as the composition, viscosity and other ink properties, all together determine the quality of the screen printed matter.

In semi solid design, the parameters of the quality of the printed fabric were color fastness, level of print detail, color difference, print coverage, saw-tooth effect, line sharpness etc. Actually, printed fabric quality was evaluated by these parameters. Again, print coverage, saw-tooth effect, line sharpness, etc. were examined by estimating different distances, angles etc. in printed fabric and these factors were compared with image positives. Mesh opening effect on the quality of screen printed fabric was investigated after printing the semi solid design on knit fabric using different mesh count screens and different types of the link. To print semi solid design on knit fabric different types of ink as well as non-identical mesh count was used. Then mesh screen out come on the design and form of printed fabric in screen printing was examined. For the evaluation of semi solid design effect there remains two different methods.The first one is visual assessment and another way is microscope observation. Here, to determine the probability of the amount of ink flowing by the screen, mesh opening area of every screen was considered and it was done from respective digital microscope images.

The In-Mold Roller is a revolutionary printing process by which objects are 3D decorated. Products decorated by In-Mold Roller are waterproof and protected from fading. What’s more, these kinds of decorations strongly increase the beauty, desirability and value of the objects. The In-Mold Roller is now using either of gravure printing and screen printing to print PET film. However, there are some problems with these two techniques. This research is to investigate potential usages of combining In-Mold Roller with digital UV inkjet printing in 3D decoration, e.g. in personalized printing services. Study results found that when the coverage and the resolution of inkjet printing become higher, the SIDs will become higher as well. When transferred to ABS, SIDs in each combination will increase. Each combination of inkjet conditions, with the isolation of white ink, color differences are less variant. TVIs of white ink decrease 30% to 40% halftone and display in “M” type. In print contrast, C and K colors of each combination are better than M and Y colors. After transferred into print contrast, each combination of PC will be higher about 2 to5. When transferred to ABS, color variances of each combination are not huge, and color differences are about 3to5.

Fine Pitch

Abstract The lightweight and bendable features of printed flexible electronics are increasingly attractive. Currently stretchable silver inks are formulated for wide traces, typically larger than 2 mm. To attach ultra-thin silicon chips that have fine pitch onto printed organic substrate, it is necessary to print fine trace width/space that matches the pitch of the chips, which may be less than 200 microns. This paper presents the development and optimization of the screen printing process for printing stretchable silver ink onto stretchable thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) substrate. A test vehicle was designed including 50 μm/5 mm (line width/line length) to 350 μm/35 mm lines (at 4 biases). The stretchable ink selected was DuPont PE 873 and Dupont's PE 5025 ink (non-stretchable conductive flake silver) was used as a “control” to baseline the printing process. The substrate used was Bemis TPU ST604. The experiment was done on a DEK Horizon 03i printer. A DEK squeegee 200 (Blue) and a DEK 265 flood bar (200 mm) were used. A 2-level factorial design with three replicates was selected to investigate the effect of process parameters on the quality of prints. The quality of the prints is characterized by 1) resistance of traces, 2) sheet resistance, 3) z-axis height, and 4) trace width/spacing. We observed significant noise in the z-axis printed silver ink height measured by profilometry and concluded z-axis height is not a good response variable for characterizing screen printing stretchable silver ink onto TPU substrate, mainly due to high roughness of the TPU substrate. We proposed calculated sheet resistance based on the measured resistance value, trace width, and trace length, which can replace trace height measurements on rough profile substrates. We found that squeegee pressure and emulsion thickness have statistically significant effects on calculated sheet resistance of print traces while print speed does not have statistically significant effects. In our experiment setting levels, the lower the squeegee pressure, the lower the calculated sheet resistance that is achieved. The emulsion with higher emulsion over mesh (EOM) is better than the emulsion with lower EOM since it can achieve lower sheet resistance. After optimizing the screen printing process, we were able to print 100 μm (4 mils) trace width and spacing with high consistency.

These kinds of decorations strongly increase the beauty, desirability and value of the objects. The In-Mold Roller is now using either of gravure printing and screen printing to print PET film. However, there are some problems with these two techniques. This research is to investigate the potential use of combining In-Mold Roller with digital inkjet printing in 3D decoration, e.g. in personalized printing services. The study results found show that digital inkjet printing to the PET film and then transfer to the ABS, the solid ink densities (SIDs) of primaries would increase. The tone values increases (TVIs) from highlight and middle (around 0~60%) were generally higher than those in shadows. The shapes and sizes of color gamut were also varied according to different kinds of digital UV inkjet printing processes. Moreover, after transferred, the color gamut became smaller.

Mesh count effect on the design and quality of printed fabric in screen printing was investigated after printing dot design on knit fabric using different mesh count screens and different types of ink. The design effect was evaluated by visual assessment as well as microscopic observation. Mesh opening area of each screen type was calculated from respective digital microscope images to find the possibility of the amount of ink passing through the screen and level of print detail, produced in dot design on the screen. Also, print coverage, saw-tooth effect, line sharpness, etc. were examined by measuring different distances, the diameter of dots, etc. in printed fabric and were compared with image positives. The quality of the printed fabric was assessed by color difference, color fastness.

Visual Saliency Models

Saliency is the quality of an object that makes it stands out from neighbouring items and grabs viewer attention. Regarding image processing, it refers to the pixel or group of pixels that stand out in an image or a video clip and capture the attention of the viewer. Our eye movements are usually guided by saliency while inspecting a scene. Rapid detection of emotive stimuli an ability possessed by humans. Visual objects in a scene are also emotionally salient. As different images and clips can elicit different emotional responses in a viewer such as happiness or sadness, there is a need to measure these emotions along with visual saliency. This study was conducted to determine whether the existing available visual saliency models can also measure emotional saliency. A classical Graph-Based Visual Saliency (GBVS) model is used in the study. Results show that there is low saliency or salient features in sad movies with at least a significant difference of 0.05 between happy and sad videos as well as a large mean difference of 76.57 and 57.0, hence making these videos less emotionally salient. However, overall visual content does not capture emotional salience. The applied Graph-Based Visual Saliency model notably identified happy emotions but could not analyze sad emotions.

Often we are faced with the need for thermal treatment of honey. Traditionally this is done by heating the honey. This process requires certain time consumption. Thermal treatment can be greatly accelerated by the use of microwaves. Indicators for thermal treatment and storage of honey traditionally are hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) content and activity of enzymes. HMF is organic compound, which is created when carbohydrates are dehydrated. HMF content increases when honey is stored for long time or is thermally treated. Our objective of the study was to find out how the different types of honey heat treatment affect the honey enzyme, invertase, activity and HMF content. HMF content in honey was determined using high pressure liquid chromatography. Invertase activity is determined by spectrophotometry. The study results proved that using microwaves to thermally treat honey significantly impacts honey invertase activity and HMF content increases. Invertase activity reduction is more severe compared to the HMF content increase. Thermally treating honey with microwaves, even treating it only 10 seconds, affects the quality of honey.
