Abstract

Development in both paper and print technology are relative and complementary to one another. Meanwhile, printing technology has been on continuous improvement over the years in terms of ever-increasing machine speeds, finer image quality, and increased flexibility. Likewise, paper has followed the developments within the print industry to ensure that it remains a suitable substrate, capable of withstanding the rigors of modern printing processes. This is study focused on paper technology (which include papermaking and paper properties) and a classification of printing technology under three main types, which are: off-set lithography, laser/led (electrophotographic), and inkjet (thermal and piezo drop on demand) as these processes dominate the traditional and digital graphical printing market. Suitability of the printing technology is based on application as either of process has its merit and demerit.
