Investigation of the friction of different print types

Abstract

Friction between different papers, flexographic, offset and inkjet prints was investigated experimentally and static (SCOF) and kinetic (KCOF) friction coefficients between prints and prints were determined. The dependence of the SCOF and KCOF values on the paper type and different ink content on prints was investigated. It was showed that highest friction is between flexographic prints and lowest friction is between offset prints. It was found that SCOF and KCOF increase with the amount of ink on prints.
