Description and Table of Contents

Description

Chemical Technology in Printing and Imaging Systems presents up to date information on trends in the printing industry and covers the role of chemicals in the quality of print, its colour, preparation of printing plates, and image-forming processes, as well as the efficient use of materials. The book gives strong emphasis to the environmental impact of the chemicals used and also covers present and future legislation. Topics covered include the removal of volatile organic compounds, the prospect of using more aqueous-based systems for inks, electronic methods of producing images directly onto printing plates, and much more. In addition, general aspects of pigment technology are reviewed. This book has an unusual breadth and depth of coverage and will appeal to both commercial and academic minds. It is an essential read for those within the industry and will also be of interest to environmentalists and those working in related areas, such as materials.
