SC print quality influenced by fiber length, fabric structures, and machine drainage characteristics.


Application: This study demonstrates the need to use an "engineered approach" to forming fabric design selection.

This paper presents details of an in-depth study of European and North American North American

 supercalendered (SC) printing grades. It shows that the final print quality is influenced by headbox fiber length, forming fabric fiber support spans in relation to fiber length, and machine drainage drainage, in agriculture

 forces and turbulence turbulence, state of violent or agitated behavior in a fluid. Turbulent behavior is characteristic of systems of large numbers of particles, and its unpredictability and randomness has long thwarted attempts to fully understand it, even with such powerful tools as  on each side of the sheet.

Using a unique computer print simulation technique developed by AstenJohnson Research, the study clearly shows that it is the uniformity in the outside 12.5% to 25% of each side of the sheet that directly affects the print quality on that side and not the uniformity of the whole sheet.

This study is based on the analysis of stock samples taken from the headbox, sheets made using that headbox stock, and a detailed analysis of the forming fabric used on each side to form the sheet on that particular machine.

Each sheet was split (lamination lamination

 technique), first in half, and further into a total of 14 parts. The uniformity of the outside 12.5% of each surface was then examined and compared to the remainder.

The image of the outside 25% was used for the computer print simulation process and compared to a simulation done on the center portion of the sheet.

The conclusion is that in all cases the center of the sheet is almost perfect, while the greater majority of the micro density differences causing poor print quality are in the outside (25%) layer of each side of the sheet. S!
