Abstract

Packaging is an ideal application for digital printing because of the amount of variable information involved. Digital printing is suitable for short runs of highly personated packagings. The obvious benefit of digital printing is low waste amount and print-on-demand. The status of digital printing, at least in the packaging sector, is still quite moderate, but the future is bright and it has been estimated that the use of this method will increase more than the traditional printing techniques. The quality of digital printing will also approach that of offset. The aim of this study is to evaluate the printability of various extrusion coatings used for packaging boards and to map out the role of surface energy in print quality formation.
