 Substrate (printing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Substrate is a term used in printing, mainly industrial printing, to describe the base material that images will be printed onto.
Because durability and longevity are not needed, a paper that has a low cost and low quality is chosen to be the substrate - newsprint.
In contrast, a monthly magazine requires bold and sharp graphics and images (for the pictures and illustrations in articles, and for the advertisements).

 Printing meets lithography: Soft approaches to high-resolution patterning
Offset printing was used for the fabrication of capacitors [7] and printed and plated metal lines as narrow as 25 µm [8].
Printing speeds varied between 0.1 and 10 mm/s, and applied forces were adjusted between 0.5 and 10 N. The width of the contact zone between the stamp and the substrate was approximately 2 mm, leading to maximum pressures of 40 kPa.
During a printing step, an ink may be transferred to the substrate (additive print) or removed from the substrate (subtractive print), the chemical nature of the substrate may be altered in the zones of contact (convertive print), or the substrate itself may be selectively removed (etching).

 Patent 4275656: Bubble printing method
Substrate 22 may be any of a number of various materials, such as woven, knitted, felted, or other textiles, elastomeric or polymeric materials, and the like, and should not be considered to be limited to any particular material.
After the array of bubbles 34 is formed on substrate 22 by generators 28, it is carried under the array of generators 29 by the motion of the substrate.
Printing of areas 106 may also be accomplished by the deliberate collapse of bubbles 34 by either mechanical means or by partial evaporation of the carrier fluid, as by radiant heater 44.

Flexography is used to print corrugated containers, folding cartons, multiwall sacks, paper sacks, plastic bags, milk and beverage cartons, disposable cups and containers, labels, adhesive tapes, envelopes, newspapers, and wrappers (candy and food).
The image is printed as substrate is pulled through a series of stations, or print units.
After printing, the substrate may run through a number of operations to be "finished" and ready for shipment to the customer.

 UV SOURCE PRINTING
As UV screen printing becomes more and more popular, it is essential for the potential UV printer to have a clear understanding of how UV inks function and of how to select the correct ink for the particular substrate.
With flame treating, plastic substrates are momentarily passed in front of a flame jet prior to being printed.
With UV printing the squeegee requirements are more critical than with conventional processes as high quality UV screen prints depend on the squeegee blade to consistently push the right layer of ink through the mesh.

 Lithography beyond light: Microcontact printing with monolayer resists
Microcontact printing is not subject to diffraction limitation but, instead, is restricted by the intrinsic structure-forming capability of elastomers and by the effects of distortion during the printing process [7].
Microcontact printing ideally requires a high aspect ratio (>1) between the depth of the features and their putative areas of contact so that boundaries between patterned regions remain sharp, at least to the extent allowed by intrinsic diffusion of the alkanethiols that comprise the monolayer.
Demonstrations involving the printing of colloids appeared recently [43] and are but the first of similar examples that rely on the exceptional characteristics of elastomer-based stamps.

 Flexo Magazine - Inks: From Art To Science, Choice of Corrugated Substrate Determines Ink Ingredients
Printing one color on kraft, mottled or even clay-coated sheets that have the same surface appearance yields a variety of shades of that color.
When printing is done on clay-coated board, poor coverage or poor trapping is often the result of poor adhesion to the substrate, due to the materials in the ink having a combined surface tension that is higher than that of the substrate.
The reason is that when prints are supplied to the box maker, the ink company proofs the inks with proofers having a similar configuration; however, these proofers have been cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner to provide the best possible color strength.

 ScreenWeb | Get Production Rolling With Rotary Screen Printing
Screen printing is also associated with piece-decorating applications, in which individual sheets of substrate are printed one by one, usually on semi- and three-quarter-automatic flatbed presses that require manual loading and/or unloading.
Rotary screen printing is so named because it uses a cylindrical screen that rotates in a fixed position rather than a flat screen that is raised and lowered over the same print location.
On a flatbed press, printing is a two-step process that involves a pass over the screen by the floodbar to fill mesh openings with ink, followed by a squeegee pass to bring the stencil and substrate into contact for ink transfer.

Together with theinvention of the practical fountain pen and the mass produced pencil of the same period, and in conjunction with the advent of the steam driven rotary printing press, wood based paper caused a major transformation of the19th century economy and society in industrialized countries.
Before this era a book or a newspaper was a rare luxury object and illiteracy was the norm for the majority.With the gradual introduction of cheap paper, schoolbooks, fiction, non-fiction, and newspapers became slowly available to nearlyall the members of an industrial society.

 Advanced PCB Resources : Substrate
In biochemistry, a substrate is a molecule which is acted upon by an enzyme.
Depending on the printing process and end use of the product, these materials include (though are not limited to) films, foils, textiles, fabrics, plastics, and any variety of paper (lightweight, heavyweight, coated, uncoated, paperboard, cardboard, etc.).
In the semiconductor industry a substrate is, a normally single crystal, wafer of material upon which semiconductor devices can be fabricated using epitaxial crystal growth and photolithography.

 ScreenWeb | Successful Pad Printing
Although it may be tempting to add solvents to achieve a visually acceptable print after the pot life has expired, it is not recommended because the ink may not achieve an optimal level of performance.
It is important to note that since sublimation inks actually change the color of the substrate, color matching is difficult, and the substrate must be lighter than the desired finished color because color changes to darker substrates may be less evident.
Whether you're printing on a plastic, metal, glass, painted, or plated substrate, it is most helpful if you can determine what the chemical or trade name is. With the correct information, you and your ink supplier can eliminate a lot of guess work in the ink-selection process.

 Screen Printing Process Measurements - Emulsion, stencil thickness, off-contact, and mesh
For screen printing, the EOC uses the eddy current principle to measure the off-contact distance between to the aluminum vacuum table/platen.
General substrate thickness can be measured with an eddy current EOC probe by using the aluminum vacuum table/platen as the zero surface.
Sampling or periodic measurements of the substrate being printed ensure the off-contact distance is maintained.

 The CFPR's Research into nineteenth century, high quality printing processes
The ability of collotype to print in continuous tone without the use of a halftone screen enabled full colour images to be printed with far more fidelity than any of the subsequent screened, CMYK printing processes which dominate the print world today.
Due to the delicate nature of its printing substrate, collotype was used as a specialist process for the limited edition of the highest quality prints.
The print, a reproduction of a photograph by Camille De Silvy entitled Proclamation of the Army for Italy was printed by F. Jourbet, a French printer living in England.

 Understanding and Using Pad Printing Inks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Pad printing requires fast-evaporating solvents to enable the ink to transfer, the advantage being that wet-on-wet multicolor printing is possible.
Pad printing is a suitable process for sublimation since the ink deposit must be kept to a minimum to prevent colour bleeding.
In pad printing, the ink may be the most important element of the process, yet it is constantly abused.
