Abstract

Digital technologies in printing attract more attention among the printers in recent years. All around the world, inkjet technology is used by both home and commercial printers. New applications for inkjet printing have emerged as the technology has developed, including the printing of high-quality periodicals and the packaging sector. This state-of-the-art technology, particularly Inkjet, has undergone extensive testing and refinement to ensure high quality prints High-quality printing often makes use of gloss coated sheets. Yet the high price of gloss coated paper limits its usefulness to certain types of work. Since then, it has been clear that uncoated papers are the best option for this task. The print quality would be different from that of glossy coated paper because of the roughness, porosity, and unevenness of the surface. Tone Value Increase (TVI) on uncoated paper printed with various inkjet printheads is an intriguing topic for investigation. Therefore, effective TVI is crucial. Multiple commercial inkjet printheads were tested for their TVI performance on uncoated paper and the results were compared using a novel statistical approach Taguchi's Grey Relational Analysis (GRA). The use of this statistical method yielded fruitful results in our study.
