Title:	USE OF ULTRASOUND TO PREDICT INK-JET PRINT QUALITY
Author:	sharma, neeraj
Description:	Quantifying water absorption and spreading on paper is possible with conventional tests such as HST, contact angle etc. but the time scale of these methods is much larger than that relevant to ink-jet printing [1]. The intensity of sound waves passing through the sheet of paper changes with the wetting of the sheet [2,3]. This response of ultrasound to wetting of paper can be measured on a time scale relevant to ink-jet printing. In this work the efforts are made to study the correlation between ultrasound response to wetting of papers and the print quality of those papers. Papers are also characterized for water absorption and spreading characteristics using conventional test methods. Papers were studied in two categories: photographic papers and office copy papers. Photographic quality papers were found having some correlation between print quality parameters and ultrasound response to wetting while office copy papers did not show any correlations.
