Topic of your interest

The research focus comes directly from the Technical Committee “Digital Printing” (better known as Digital Printing Working Group, DPWG). They include process-independent image quality, colour management for the entire digital printing sector, and important sustainability topics such as energy efficiency.

Graphic 3D printing
Prepress technology 10/31/2020
This project is focused on implementing a colour-accurate on-screen prediction of the final 3D print object.

Improving textile colour communication
Prepress technology 06/01/2020
The TextileRGB research project aims to develop basic principles for the colour characterization of digitally printed textiles.

Barcode
Prepress technology 03/31/2020
Improving the printability and legibility of 1D and 2D codes in inkjet printing.

Integration of the highspeed inkjet into conventional offset production environments
Offset printing 10/31/2019
Typical offset print products are to be identified and provided with quality requirements that are customary in practice.

Modelling colour appearance for full colour 3D printers
Prepress technology 10/01/2019
In this project, the foundations for the colour modeling of Polyjet 3D printers are to be developed.

Modelling of colour rendering properties for highspeed inkjet printing and establishment of suitable paper characteristics
Digital printing 03/01/2019
The aim is to determine the factors influencing solid tone colouring and tone value increases in highspeed inkjet printing on the paper side.

Image Quality
Digitaldruck 10/01/2015
Basis for standardization of digital production printing using toner based and large format inkjet printers.
The scope of testing covers all areas where no agreed ISO standard is available for evaluation and assessment.
Rather, the specific task depends on the individual examination of the respective facts. It forms the basis for the development of a specific evaluation regime, be it the development of an acceptance guideline for digital print production or the image quality evaluation of barcodes on glass.

We work on international standards and build our FograCert certification programme on them. The ProcessStandard Digital (PSD) has established itself internationally. It comprises recommendations, instructions for action as well as target values and tolerances for the digital print production customary in the industry.
