Pen-based computers and personal digital assistant's (PDA's) are new technologies that are growing in importance. In previous papers, we have espoused a philosophy we call \Computing in the Ink Domain" that treats ink as a rst-class datatype. One of the most important questions that arises under this model concerns the searching of large quantities of previously stored pen-stroke data. In this ...

The flexographic printing is the fastest growing printing technique nowadays [1]. The principal advantages of flexography are reflected in the markets where it is most often used. The advantages of flexographic printing are low cost and short circle time, precise ink transfer with minimum on-press adjustments, and ability to print one layer and laminate another layer over it in a continuous pro...

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...

The color inconstancy of prints is related to the ink spectral properties and the lookup table for multiink printing systems. In this paper, color inconstancy was investigated for several ink-jet printers based on their ink set and the default lookup tables. A virtual model for each printer was created to determine the range of color inconstancy that a specific ink set could achieve. The color ...

Most existing techniques for regulating the ink flow in offset presses rely on density measurements carried out on specially printed patches. In the present contribution, we develop a methodology to deduce ink thickness variations from spectral measurements of multi-chromatic halftone patches located within the printed page. For this purpose, we extend the Clapper-Yule spectral reflectance pred...

In forensics, the analysis of ink writings from documentation is required for authentication or crime analysis. Ten organic ink dye components typically found in ink pens were separated using the Agilent 1290 Infinity LC System and quantified using the Agilent 6140 single quadrupole LC/MS System. The dyes were separated in less than 3.5 min using a sub-2-μm, 30 mm column. Analysis of ink markin...

We report the production of an efficient anti-corrosive coating of cold-rolled (CR) steel in a seawater environment (∼3.5 wt% NaCl aqueous solution) using an oil-based graphene oxide ink. The graphene oxide was produced by heating Aeschynomene aspera plant as a carbon source at 1600 °C in an argon atmosphere. The ink was prepared by cup-milling the mixture of graphene oxide and sunflower oil fo...

Literature suggests that it is possible to design and implement pen-based computer interfaces that resemble the use of pen and paper. These interfaces appear to allow users freedom in expressing ideas and seem to be familiar and easy to use. Different ideas have been put forward concerning this type of interface, however despite the commonality of aims and problems faced, there does not appear ...
