项目摘要

In 2004, the PI undertook an AHRC funded project entitled "Screenprinted colour as a theoretical model for the development of inkjet technology" (award number B/SG/AN5190/APN19134). This bid seeks to build upon and extend the methods developed and explored in the previous research. Funding is requested to support a collaboration between CFPR and Pulse Roll Label Products Ltd., a specialist manufacturer of inks and varnishes for the label printing and the packaging industries. The collaboration will use the results of the 2004 research by exploiting recent developments in inkjet technology to enable Pulse to develop innovative UV cure ink products for commercial print applications, thus giving them an advantage in the field. Today, the field of colour printing is becoming increasingly more technical and remote from traditional methods of the application of colour in the physical world. The way an artist mixes and applies colour is fundamentally different to the digital reproduction of colour and coloured images. An artist's approach to colour printing is concerned with the physical mixing of pigments that are then applied as layers of colour, whereas the digital reproduction of colour is reliant on computational colour modelling to provide accurate numerical data for reproduction. Artists using digital colour are now becoming cognisant in an increasingly technical environment that demands more understanding of different colour spaces, characterisation of printer hardware and paper and an array of file formats. The research developed by Parraman (2004) demonstrated that a more practical knowledge and perceptual understanding of colour can be formulated from the perspective of traditional methods by physically mixing colour pigments and overlayering colour. In 2004, the technological capabilities and colour science were not ready for exploitation, in part because of limitations in the capability of inkjet print heads. Inkjet printing technology and knowledge has matured, and recent improvements in print head technology and software have increased the potential to inkjet print a wider range of inks onto a wider variety of materials. The previous research will now allow the use of a range of colorants that expand the current process colour set (bespoke colour palettes that match artists colours) spot colours (Pantone) pigments and decorative inks (metallic, mica, gloss) and novel colorants (fluorescent and colour changing) onto materials including leather, wallpaper, metallic card, plastic.As demonstrated at industrial print expos, the shift from the traditional screenprint and lithography market to high-speed inkjet printing is partially due to developments in UV curable inks, which have better adhesion to a range of materials, resulting in a diversity of novel print applications, including: decorative printing for packaging, textiles and labelling. This development in UV curing creates greater potential for layering in relation to the findings of the 2004 research. Additionally it creates further potential for commercial exploitation for printer and ink manufacturers to develop UV curing inks. Pulse, who produce UV curable, water-based inks and varnishes for flexography (flexo), screen and letterpress printing, wish to address colour printing from the perspective of traditional overlayering of colour to create secondary colour effects. This proposal will move beyond halftoning and process colours - CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black) towards the development of custom pigments and decorative inks to obtain new colour mixtures.This proposal seeks to undertake collaboration with an industrial partner in order to exploit developments in UV curable inks and industrial print heads printing higher viscosity inks combined with the previous research methodology. The results should lead to new methods for printing from a practitioner perspective aligned more closely to the creative arts and creative industries.

2004年，公共信息研究所开展了一个由澳大利亚人权委员会资助的项目，题为“丝网印刷颜色作为喷墨技术发展的理论模型”（奖号B/SG/AN 5190/APN 19134）。本次招标旨在建立和扩展在以前的研究中开发和探索的方法。资金要求支持CFPR和脉冲卷标签产品有限公司之间的合作，专业生产标签印刷和包装行业的油墨和清漆。该合作将利用2004年的研究成果，利用喷墨技术的最新发展，使脉冲开发创新的紫外线固化油墨产品的商业印刷应用，从而使他们在该领域的优势。今天，彩色印刷领域正变得越来越技术化，并且远离物理世界中颜色应用的传统方法。艺术家混合和应用颜色的方式与颜色和彩色图像的数字复制有着根本的不同。艺术家的彩色印刷方法涉及颜料的物理混合，然后作为颜色层应用，而颜色的数字复制依赖于计算颜色建模，以提供精确的数字数据进行复制。使用数字色彩的艺术家们现在正在越来越多的技术环境中认知，这需要更多地了解不同的色彩空间，打印机硬件和纸张的特性以及一系列文件格式。Parabel（2004）的研究表明，从传统方法的角度来看，通过物理混合彩色颜料和叠加颜色，可以形成对颜色的更实用的知识和感性理解。2004年，技术能力和色彩科学还没有准备好开发，部分原因是喷墨打印头的能力有限。喷墨印刷技术和知识已经成熟，并且印刷头技术和软件的最新改进已经增加了将更宽范围的油墨喷墨印刷到更宽种类的材料上的潜力。以前的研究现在将允许使用一系列的着色剂，扩大目前的过程颜色设置（与艺术家色彩匹配的定制调色板）专色（Pantone）颜料和装饰油墨（金属、云母、光泽）和新型着色剂（荧光和颜色变化）到材料，包括皮革，墙纸，金属卡，塑料。正如在工业印刷博览会，从传统的丝网印刷和平版印刷市场向高速喷墨印刷的转变部分是由于紫外线固化油墨的发展，其对一系列材料具有更好的粘附性，从而产生了多种新颖的印刷应用，包括：用于包装、纺织品和标签的装饰性印刷。与2004年的研究结果相比，紫外线固化的这一发展为分层创造了更大的潜力。此外，它为打印机和油墨制造商开发UV固化油墨创造了进一步的商业开发潜力。脉冲，谁生产紫外线固化，水基油墨和清漆的柔版印刷（柔印），丝网印刷和凸版印刷，希望解决彩色印刷的角度，传统的叠加色彩，创造二次色彩效果。该提案将超越半色调和印刷原色- CMYK（青色、洋红、黄色和黑色），转向开发定制颜料和装饰油墨，以获得新的颜色混合物。该提案旨在与工业合作伙伴合作，结合以前的研究方法，利用紫外线固化油墨和工业印刷头印刷更高粘度油墨的发展。从实践者的角度来看，这些结果应该会导致新的印刷方法更接近创意艺术和创意产业。
