Abstract

The primary aim of this study is to explore various quality control criteria for evaluating the print quality of different types of paper, including primary and recycled paper grades. The research involved collecting samples of these papers and printing them using a standard quality control master test chart. Parameters such as solid ink density, dot gain, print contrast, grayness, and color difference data were compared among these paper varieties. The findings of the study revealed that when it comes to secondary papers, the most crucial quality control parameters to monitor for quality deviations are solid ink density and print contrast. Secondary papers tend to have lower ink absorption capacity, resulting in reduced solid ink density. In contrast, primary papers exhibit superior print contrast and readability compared to secondary papers.
