Print quality, paper

Problems may also arise with your plotting device. In such a case check the actual printer configuration either via the corresponding WINDOWS or from within ID WIN-NMR or 2D WIN-NMR (see chapter 4). Make sure that the settings with respect to paper size, memory capacity and orientation are correct and if there is still a problem reduce the resolution of your plotting device (e.g. 600 dpi = 300 dpi) or reduce the printing quality (e.g. high => medium). 

Paper may be developed over a wide range of times with varying results. Up to a point, the longer paper is developed, the richer the gradation and overall print quality. Exposure and dilution can be adjusted to allow development from 1 to 7 minutes. Less than 1 minute can result in stains, streaks, and uneven development. However, the changes that take place after 3 minutes are often slight, even though they can at times make a difference. 

Despite the numerous obstacles mentioned earlier, inkjet manufacturers are able to produce print heads that rehably put drops on paper. The next challenge to achieving good print quality is to get ink to behave properly once it is on paper. In many ways, the ink characteristics needed for effective drop ejection (low viscosity, good stability/ solubility of components, poor wetting on print head exterior) are completely opposite those needed for good performance on paper. In this chapter, some of the basics of ink/media interactions are explored. 

As described above, the development of emulsion-based inks has evolved but major issues still limit their development. The microemulsion print quality is usually limited due to the ink penetration into the paper. As for the miniemulsions, better particle size control and improved emulsion stability are needed. In addition, more environmentally friendly solvents that have less smell, lower toxicity, and higher solubilizing power of the colorant need to be developed. 

For best results with any printer, buy the paper that has been designated specifically for that printer by the manufacturer. It will be more expensive, but you ll have fewer problems related to having the wrong type of paper for the printer. Also, the print quality will be the best it could possibly be. 

Common starch esters include the acetates. High d.s. starch acetates have been formed by using acetic anhydride with either sodium acetate or pyridine catalysts at 90-100 °C [158,159,160]. The major use of starch acetates have been in the study of the stmctures of amylose and amylopectin after acid hydrolysis. Acetylation of granular starch in aqueous suspension by acetic anhydride at pH 10-11 is used to produce low d.s. starch acetates that are primarily used for the stabilization of their viscosity and for their water-soluble clarity. The acetylation decreases the hydrophilic character and increases the hydrophobic character of starch. The major uses of starch acetates is in the paper industry for surface sizing to give improved print quality, uniform porosity, surface strength, and resistance to various solvents [161]. 

The main disadvantage is that web temperatures of 275-325° F are required to cure the film. These temperatures affect the paper properties adversely, and therefore higher-quality, more-expensive paper must be used. Even so, blisterii or cracking in the folder may be a problem. Moreover, the solvent emission, although reduced significantly, is not eliminated, and, as with the ultraviolet light-cured inks, paper printed with these thermally-catalyzed inks cannot be recycled in the currently used processes (8, 9). 

Use Print quality enhancements, paper fillers, carbonless copy intensifier, and titanium dioxide extension.

Use the Print Setup command from the Print menu to define the printer and the print parameters like paper size and print quality (see Fig. 6.7). Clicking on the Properties button opens another dialog box. The settings shown will depend on the model of your printer.
