Uporaba programske opreme ecofont pri digitalnem tisku na trajne papirje

Štampfl, Veronika (author), Gregor Svetec, Diana (mentor)

Raziskava z naslovom "Uporaba programske opreme Ecofont pri digitalnem tisku na trajnostne papirje" nudi vpogled v življenjsko dobo digitalno natisnjenih besedil, ko so le-ta tiskana na trajne papirje ter preoblikovana s programsko opremo Ecofont. Prav tako navaja smernice za primerno uporabo navedene programske opreme za tisk dokumentov s podaljšano obstojnostjo. Uporaba programske opreme Ecofont omogoča tisk besedilnih dokumentov ter pri tem prihranke črnila do 50 %. Namen raziskave je ovrednotiti obstojnost besedila različnih pisav v raznih velikosti, ki je odtisnjeno na trajne papirje z digitalnimi tehnikami tiska. Za tisk vsake kombinacije pisave in njenih velikosti sta uporabljeni kapljična tehnika tiska ter elektrofotografija, besedilo pa je odtisnjeno v svoji izvorni obliki ter obliki, ki je pred tiskom procesirana s programsko opremo Ecofont. Raziskava pokaže, da je programska oprema Ecofont primerna za tisk besedilnih dokumentov z zahtevano podaljšano obstojnostjo, tj. trajnostjo, vendar je izbira tiskarske tehnike, materiala in kombinacije pisave in njene velikosti ključnega pomena. Za tisk besedila na papirje s podaljšano obstojnostjo ni primerna uporaba elektrofotografske tehnike tiska, saj je ugotovljeno, da je obstojnost tonerja pod močnim vplivom pospešenega staranja z vročim zrakom ter tako zelo nizka. Bolj primerna in obstojna je uporaba kapljične tehnologije tiska, še posebno pa zadovoljive rezultate berljivosti daje kombinacija pisave arial v velikosti 12 t. e., ki je natisnjena s to tehniko. Berljivost le-te je najbolje ohranjena med testiranimi kombinacijami pisave tudi po postopku pospešenega staranja.

• Title: Use of Ecofont software in digital printing on permanent papers

Abstract

Research with the title "Use of Ecofont Software in Digital Printing on Permanent Papers" gives insight into the life span of digitally printed text when printed on permanent paper and processed with Ecofont software. In addition, it provides guidelines for apropriate applications of Ecofont software for printing sustainable documents. The use of Ecofont software enables printing text documents with up to 50 % less used printing ink. The purpose of this research is to establish the permability of text, which is printed in different types and sizes and on paper with a mark permanent paper. Two printing techniques are used for each combination of type, inkjet and electrophotography, along with the Ecofont software. The research has shown that the use of Ecofont software is appropriate for printing text documents with the requirement of longer time stability, i. e. shell life, but the choice of printing technique, material and type combination is important and must be taken into consideration. For printing text on permanent paper, it is not appropriate to use electrophotography, since it has been stated that printed toner does not have high level of permanence when exposed to dry heat accelerated ageing method. It is the most appropriate to use inkjet printing technology and font combination arial in size 12 pt. This gives the reader ability to read printed text even after a longer time, since accelerated ageing methods did not effect the readability of text drastically.
