Inexpensive and easy-to-use linear and area-array scanners have frequently substituted as colorimeters and densitometers for low-frequency (i.e., large area) hard copy image measurement. Increasingly, scanners are also being used for high spatial frequency, image microstructure measurements, which were previously reserved for high performance microdensitometers. In this paper we address charact...

The impression of a piece of footwear can potentially lead to 3 identifications, of increasing accuracy; a shoe of a certain size, a shoe of a certain make or a specific shoe. The quality of the print will usually dictate which of these is possible. A vague outline is unlikely to provide conclusive evidence, but could offer some information about the size, and in some cases the brand of a shoe....

The inkjet printing machine was initially used on ceramic parts as a small device in designing and advertising offices limitedly. In recent years, this device has been applied professionally to create high-quality patterns in the industry. In this method, liquid ceramic ink is sprayed on the specified parts by piezoelectric nozzles and after drying and discharging, the organic matter is baked a...

Biological Chemistry ’Just Accepted’ Papers are papers published online, in advance of appearing in the print journal. They have been peer-reviewed, accepted and are online published in manuscript form, but have not been copy edited, typeset, or proofread. Copy editing may lead to small differences between the Just Accepted version and the final version. There may also be differences in the qua...

Biodegradable films have been introduced in the packaging industry recently. Most products are boxes, bottles and bags. The printability of biodegradable film has not been fully investigated. This study tested the printability on clear and white Polylactic acid (PLA) films, and compared the print qualities to common packaging films like Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Wate...
