    Sustainability in the print and packaging industry
    (2023-07-01) TUTAK, DOĞAN; AYDEMİR, CEM; YENİDOĞAN, SEMİHA; Tutak D., Aydemir C., Yenidoğan S.
    In the printing and packaging industry, sustainability is defined as manufacture and practices that reflect responsibility for the environment and resources to meet the needs and expectations of future generations. In this article, raw material management, cellulose resources, industrial forests, ecological and renewable alternative fiber resources were examined in the framework of the sustainability of the printing and packaging industry. The recycling of printed materials and packaging and the effects of paper-ink types and product design in this recycling have been discussed. The effect of separation and processing at the source on the efficiency of paper recycling, economy and ecology was emphasized. The greenhouse gas emissions of solvents used in inks and cleaners, the impact on climate change, water footprint and carbon footprint issues were examined. Suggestions have been made on environmental sustainability in the printing industry, what needs to be done for a competitive production, successful optimization, minimization of waste, use of existing possibilities, recycling and evaluation of alternatives and use of clean energy.

    Effect of coating pigment type on paper printability with water-based inks
    (2022-07-01) ÖZCAN, ARİF; SÖNMEZ, SİNAN; TUTAK, DOĞAN; ÖZCAN A., SÖNMEZ S., TUTAK D.
    Nowadays, the need for papers and cardboards with improved surface properties is increasing with the development of the packaging industry. The improvements made are not only limited to the paper and paper surface, but also environmentalist approaches are exhibited in printing ink. For this purpose, the use of water-based ink tends to become widespread, especially in food packaging. In this study, five different paper coating formulations were prepared using different proportions of precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) and kaolin pigments. Latex (Acronal S360D) was used as a binder. All prepared coating mixes were applied onto the base paper surface. All coated papers were also subjected to the calendering process. In addition, three different dyestuffs (14, 17, 20%) concentrations of water-based printing inks were prepared. Prints were made by the silk screen printing technique on the calendered-coated papers. The optical and physical properties (roughness, air permeance, paper gloss and printing gloss, contact angle and surface energy) of all papers were measured according to the standards. Paper gloss, print gloss, Delta E-00 color differences, contact angles and surface energy measurements were made, and the effects of dye ratio on printing and gloss in water-based inks and coating type suitable for printability were investigated. As a result, papers can be coated and even calendered to achieve better paper surface properties and printability. In the case of printing with water-based inks, better printability properties are obtained by choosing PCC pigmented coated papers.

    The effect of paper surface-coating pigments and binders on colour gamut and printing parameters
    (WILEY, 2021) ÖZCAN, ARİF; Ozcan, Arif; Tutak, Dogan
    One of the most important factors affecting the printing quality of printing processes is the surface structure of the printing material. The surface structure of the paper formed by fibres can be modified and smoothed out using coatings that make it more suitable for printing. In this study, three different types of coating pigments were prepared and applied onto an 80 g/m(2) base paper surface. Styrene butadiene latex and polyvinyl alcohol were used as binders, and three different types of pigments, precipitated calcium carbonate, clay and zeolite, were used as pigments in the prepared coatings. The physical and optical properties of all calendered and non-calendered papers were measured and compared. All the prints were produced with an ink-jet digital printing machine upon the coated and calendered papers for recording the printability parameters. The Delta E-00 differences between colours, tone values, colour gamuts and colour gamut volumes were measured from the surfaces of the printed papers. The results showed that the coating type had a better effect on print quality, and that the printability properties of coated papers and even calendered papers were very good.

    The effect of zeolite on inkjet coated paper surface properties and deinking
    (WALTER DE GRUYTER GMBH, 2020) ÖZCAN, ARİF; Ozcan, Arif; Tutak, Dogan
    Coatings are generally applied for opacity, smoothness and gloss on the paper surface. Pigments such as CaCO3, Kaolin-Clay and Zeolite are used, and natural or synthetic binders are used. In this study, coatings using the CaCO3, Kaolin-Clay and Zeolite pigments on 80 gr/m(2) high grade papers were made. PVOH was used as binder. Following coating, papers were processed through supercalendering and printed with inkjet printer. Using INGEDE method 11p. recycling process printed papers were deinked. The optical properties of the recycled papers obtained after the deinking treatment, were compared with the unprinted papers. At the end of the study, the effect of coating on paper surface and the recycling performances of the inkjet printed papers were revealed. It was determined that the papers in which zeolite was used as a pigment were better, in terms of both surface properties and recycling performance when surface properties and recycling performance of coated papers were examined. When all the results were compared, it was found that the performances of coatings for which zeolite was used were much better than coatings such as CaCO3 and Kaolin-Clay, both in terms of surface coating properties such as opacity, roughness and gloss and recycling results such as brightness.

    Printability of papers recycled from toner and inkjet-printed papers after deinking and recycling processes
    (SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2018-04) AYDEMİR, CEM; Karademir, Arif; Aydemir, Cem; Tutak, Dogan; Aravamuthan, Raja
    Background: In our contemporary world, while part of the fibers used in the paper industry is obtained from primary fibers such as wood and agricultural plants, the rest is obtained from secondary fibers from waste papers. To manufacture paper with high optical quality from fibers of recycled waste papers, these papers require deinking and bleaching of fibers at desired levels. High efficiency in removal of ink from paper mass during recycling, and hence deinkability, are especially crucial for the optical and printability quality of the ultimate manufactured paper. Methods: In the present study, deinkability and printability performance of digitally printed paper with toner or inkjet ink were compared for the postrecycling product. To that end, opaque 80 g/m(2) office paper was digitally printed under standard printing conditions with laser toner or inkjet ink; then these sheets of paper were deinked by a deinking process based on the INGEDE method 11 p. After the deinking operation, the optical properties of the obtained recycled handsheets were compared with unprinted (reference) paper. Then the recycled paper was printed on once again under the same conditions as before with inkjet and laser printers, to monitor and measure printing color change before and after recycling, and differences in color universe. Results: Recycling and printing performances of water-based inkjet and toner-based laser printed paper were obtained. The outcomes for laser-printed recycled paper were better than those for inkjet-printed recycled paper. Conclusions: Compared for luminosity Y, brightness, CIE a* and CIE b* values, paper recycled from laser-printed paper exhibited higher value than paper recycled from inkjet-printed paper.
