Paper Brightness and Flatness



Production of paper and paper products such as cardboard packaging materials is a complex process. In addition, numerous types of papers (weight, wood content, brightness, etc.) are required for a multitude of applications. Paper coating formulations are comprised mainly of pigments, which account for about 80% of the materials used. The binder only comprises 10% of a paper coating. The remainder consists of brighteners, opacifiers, rheology modifiers, lubricants, dispersants, starches, and insolubilizers (crosslinking agents). Pigments used in paper coatings are typically inorganic mineral pigments such as ground and precipitated calcium carbonate, clays like kaolin, titanium dioxide, talc, alumina trihydrite, and barium and calcium sulfates. If a white coating is needed over a bright white sheet, then pigments that provide gloss will be preferred.

Paper flatness depends on the degree of finish, surface flatness expressing paper. This is one of the most important aspects for analogue or digital printing process - submission of substantially influencing the surface ink / toner. Test methods, even if they use different instruments constructed, based on the same principle: measurement under specific conditions (pressure, area, time, etc...) of the volume of air that can pass between the surface of paper samples tested and flow guiding device facets applied over the air. The values obtained vary depending on finish paper - gloss, satin or matte.

...Risograph Printers...


Firs of all what is a Risograph and how it works ?, well it's simple A Risograph is a high-speed, multifunctional digital printing system and designed mainly for high-volume photocopying and printing. The Risograph is the perfect self-contained reprographics system as it offers the convenience of a copier the economy of a duplicator, and the durability of an offset press. A Risograph bring together several processes which were previously carried out manually. The original is scanned through the machine and a master is created, by means of tiny heat spots on a thermal plate burning voids (corresponding to image areas) in a master sheet. This master is then wrapped around a drum and ink is forced through the voids in the master. The paper runs flat through the machine while the drum rotates at high speed to create each image on the paper, the simple technology is highly reliable compared to a standard photocopier and can achieve both very high speeds. Because the process involves real ink - like offset printing - and does not require heat to fix the image on the paper - like a photocopier or laser printer - the output from a risograph can be treated like any printed material, it means that sheets which have been through a risograph may happily go through a laser printer afterwards and vice-versa. Risographs have typically had interchangeable colour inks and drums allowing for printing in different colours or using spot colour in one print job. The Riso MZ series models have two ink drums allowing two colours to be printed in one pass. The latest Riso model, the HC 5500, uses a high speed ink-jet technology to achieve full (4) colour at 120 pages per minute. Be aware boring article for your health don't read...

...Bullets and Numbering...



Honestly I have no idea how those "Bullets and Numbering" work. I can only tell you what purpose they have, but that can be figured put just by simply looking at the images I made. To aces "Bullets and Numbering" the first thing you have to do is open Microsoft Office Word the click on "Format" after that just click on "Bullets and Numbering". If you want to number something and you don't want to use numbers or letters simply click on "Bulleted" and that function will replace numbers with symbols. The "Numbered" function dose the same thing only instead of symbols uses numbers from and letters. "Outline Numbered" dose the same thing only combines all of those two functions. Finally with "List Style" you can chose the style of the list that's why they call it "List Style", if you want to know more then look it up on Google....

"Art"



It all began like this: I was reading something about "Dexter" TV series when I heard that we had to take a picture cut the person in the picture and put the cuted person in another picture. I made those images which by the way suck with Adobe Photoshop. I downloaded a image with form the internet after that I changed it to 800x600 after that I used the Magnetic Lasso Tool to cut the image and then I pasted it over tow different backgrounds, and honestly I thin that the second background is the best.....

"Alien adoption"

There are speculations regarding the existence of Extraterrestrial Life and the number of people adopted by Extraterrestrials, so I decided to investigate. I looked for people who claim to have been adopted by aliens and I found a person who claims he was adopted and the Extraterrestrial made experiments on him which he couldn't remember what they did to him, the man is a farmer and his name is Brata Radu.

Reporter: Mister Brata you claim to have been adopted, my question is where were you when the so called adoption happened?
Brata replied: As usual I was in my garden minding my one business, planting tomatoes when I heard a strange noise, and then all the animals started panicking.
Reporter: And what happened next?
Brata replied: I to got scared and then I saw this big white flash of light and it was getting bigger and bigger and I felt my self sucked into it.
Reporter: Interesting, and you did not see a flying abject, just a flash of light?
Brata replied: That is correct, the only thing I saw was a big flash of light nothing else.
Reporter: Do you remember anything, what they did to you and how did the inside of the UFO looked?
Brata replied: Well, this part is a bit fuzzy to me, I can't remember exactly what they did to me, but I think that they just looked at me, measured me nothing more, and as for the interior of the UFO, I can't describe it.
Reporter: But the aliens how did they look?
Brata replied: I don't remember exactly but they had big heads and they had tentacles instead of legs and four arms, but I don't remember what color were thy.
Reporter: After that, after they were done with you what happened next?
Brata: After that I woke up back in the garden, but the strange thing was that I didn't remember almost anything and I had a bad headache, and that my hat was gone and I can't find it even to these day.
Reporter: They must have taken it as a souvenir.
Brata replied: I guess they must have took it, but I'm really curious what they needed it for?
Reporter: That's a question we can't answer.
Brata replied: I guess so to, I guess so to.
Reporter: Mister Brata we thank you for your time accorded and thank you for answering our questions.

There you have it a man who was adopted by aliens and lived to tell the tale. link....
