A Printer's Lullaby

Dwane Hollands, possessor of Hollands Print Solutions (http://www.hollands.com.au/) is a sometimes music composer.

I challenged him alongside the thought of creating a slice of music using the audio of a printing Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Printer's Lullaby

So, I challenged him alongside the thought of creating a slice of music using the audio of a printing press to usage the underlying musical theme. He chose the beat of a Heidelberg press (hear that audio past times clicking HERE).

Dwane names his composition "Printer's Lullaby" (although I intend it's to a greater extent than of a lament). He describes it inward these words: "After a difficult days work, those machines necessitate to get got a skilful residual at night. Excited from the 24-hour interval too all the adventures they've been through, they get got a piece to settle in. After they've drunkard their warm milk too cookies too brushed their teeth, it's fourth dimension for the Printer's Lullaby to popular off them snuggly off to sleep. Night, Night..."

The Wayback Thought – Sp Plateless Commencement Technology Scientific Discipline Inwards 2000

Recently, J P Imaging, amongst their experimental Miracle Plate* technology, has demonstrated a unique concept – that of switching an uncoated litho ‘blank’ uncoated plate from hydrophobic to hydrophilic. The benefits of this technology, if it becomes a product, is the potential elimination of all chemicals inward plate coating, organic solvents from the coating process, equally good equally all requirements for processing equipment too associated chemistry. It would too convey major environmental benefits past times drastically reducing the need for aluminum inside the printing industry. The annunciation has renewed involvement inward option ways to icon plates for outset lithography. One such option was demonstrated equally a proof of concept at GraphExpo inward 2000. The CreoScitex "SP Plateless Technology" was a plate imaging arrangement where a plate could last imaged, too reimaged, past times spraying an ink receptive coating (Agfa Lightspeed) on it piece the plate wa...

The Wayback Stance – Recruiting Press Operators, 1946

Using Fm Screening For Ink Savings

The average ink savings yesteryear switching from, for example, a 175 lpi AM/XM halftone to a xx micron FM halftone, is well-nigh 10-15% (depending on the hit of tones inward the master copy art). Since the average sheetfed printer volition pass well-nigh 3-4% of their gross lucre on ink, equally an example, for a $10,000,000 dollar a twelvemonth printer the ink savings using FM screening volition hit from well-nigh $35,000 to $52,500 a year. The reduction inward ink usage for the same terminal presswork appearance, comes primarily from the utilization of a cut-back flexure applied to the FM screened plate, the thinner ink cinema feature of FM screening, in addition to the higher percent of the tonality beingness created optically (optical dot gain) . How higher dot gain saves ink The smaller the halftone dot is, the greater its perimeter to expanse ratio is. Since dot gain occurs at the perimeter of the dot this results inward smaller dots having to a greater extent than dot ga...
