THE PRINTING INDUSTRY ISENTERING THE DIGITAL ERA - FACT

OR FANTASY?Benny Landa, HP Indigo

Commercial printing is the last vestige of the ana-log era: a $400 billion industry that has barely beentouched by the digital revolution. Is this industryfinally ready to yield? Or will the digital transfor-mation of the printing industry continue to eludeits pursuers? Is there a "killer app" that will blowthis market open? If so, what are its key enablers?Will inkjet, xerography and liquid electrophotog-raphy all compete in this space? Does the Internetcomplement - or compete with - commercial digi-tal printing? Lastly, what’s the big deal - who needsit anyhow?

Benny Landa is the founder of Indigo, now a di-vision of Hewlett-Packard. He serves as strategicadvisor to HP CEO Carly Fiorina, has been grantedover 140 U.S. patents and hundreds more world-wide, including Digital Offset Color patents andpatents for Electroink that are at the core of theIndigo technology. In October 2002, Mr. Landawas awarded the Edwin H. Land Medal by theOptical Society of America and the Society forImaging Science and Technology for his pioneer-ing work in imaging and his entrepreneurial cre-ativity. For his outstanding contributions to theindustry, particularly the Indigo Digital OffsetColor printing process. Mr. Landa was awardedthe Institute of Printing’s Gold Medal in 2000. Inthe words of the Institute, the Indigo Digital Off-set Color printing process is “one of the most sig-nificant technological innovations in our industrysince the development of offset printing more than100 years ago.”

CHEMICAL TONER TECHNOLOGY ANDTHE FUTURE

Takayoshi Aoki, Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.

This talk is about “The Chemical Toner Technol-ogy and The Future” and brief history, difficulty,breakthrough technology and potentials. Althoughchemical process toner seemed to be more suit-able than melt-mix and crush method, chemicalprocess toners such as suspension polymerizedtoner was not launched for some time yet. Thefirst reason is its difficulty for charge control andthe second, is poor blade cleaning applicability.Huge investment is also a barrier for hardwarecompanies. But at the end of 90’s, several power-ful industries began to produce various types ofchemical toners because of the technology break-throughs such as: charge control improvement,

Keynote Papersmicro encapsulation method establishment, shapecontrol process, smaller particle toner manufac-turing process-improvement, color oilless capa-bility realization, and so on. One of the dominantchemical processes is suspension polymerizationtoner from Nippon Zeon and Canon. The seconddominant process is emulsion aggregation methodtoner from Konica and Fuji Xerox. Chemical ton-ers are still low compared with conventional meth-ods, but considering the much higher potentialsof super high print quality for graphic arts, ulti-mate transfer efficiency, relative environmental ad-vantage for CO2 reduction and other superiorproperties of their future possibilities, the amountsof production will increase explosively soon.

Takayoshi Aoki graduated from Kyoto Univer-sity in 1974 (Faculty of engineering, Organic syn-thesis) and joined Fuji Xerox in 1982. For 15 years,his main activity was in toner and developer ma-terial design. After that, he has been the managerof toner and developer, photoreceptor and otherchemical materials for xerography such as fuser.He holds 98 Japanese patents, 31 U.S. patents,and is the co-author of three books. His latest po-sition is General manager of Chemicals CreationCenter in Fuji Xerox. He is a member of the Im-aging Society of Japan.

RELATING SECURITY PRINTING TOEMERGING DIGITAL PRINTING

SOLUTIONSJan Van Laethem, dotrix nv

Today all documents that carry intrinsic value con-tain one or more security design features. Appli-cations of security printing range from banknotes,passports and ID documents, to checks, lotterytickets and gift vouchers. Dramatic growth in prod-uct counterfeiting has also lead to more attentionto the packaging of fraud-sensitive goods. It isclear that these markets have different demands,yet they share a common goal: to make life diffi-cult for the counterfeiter through design complex-ity and authenticity verification features.

Today, we also notice an ever-increasing inter-est from the security printing industry in the de-veloping technologies for digital printing. This

interest includes both opportunity as well as risk-assessment. An overview of existing and emerg-ing technologies will be placed in comparison withthe current practices for the production of secu-rity documents and brand protection. The variousparameters (ink, substrate, and design) of digitalprinting and their relationship to the specific needsand concerns of the security printing industry willbe discussed.

Jan van Laethem is Manager, Security Systemsfor dotrix nv. He began his career at Barco in1989, where he started in software applicationdevelopment for CAD systems for the packag-ing design market. This work included the devel-opment of a CAD system specifically for theceramics design market. Since 1993, he has beenwith the Security Systems Group, and was respon-sible for the design and implementation of theFortuna digital design and assembly system. Atthe end of 2001, dotrix was created from the In-dustrial Printing Group of Barco. In his currentposition at dotrix, he is managing the Security Sys-tems group, that develops and markets the Fortuna,SecuSeal, and SecuPass/Insider products. Mr. vanLaethem holds an engineering degree in electron-ics.

COLORANT CHEMISTRY IIInstructor: Jeffrey Banning, Xerox Corporation

Very little work is being conducted in the area ofnew chromophore research in the dye industry.Instead, most dye research effort is being con-ducted in the modification or “tuning” of existingdyes, or dye classes in terms of shade, solubilityand/or reactivity. The tutorial will assist the at-tendee in understanding such tuning processes.Utilizing color (in overheads and handouts), theinstructor will teach the student about color chem-istry with the aforementioned goal in mind. Start-ing with the concept of a light interacting with aprism, the instructor will guide the student froman understanding of additive and subtractive col-oration, further explaining the cause of colorationof a dye or pigment, and continuing on to the areaof structure/property (color) relationships. An un-derstanding of how one develops strategies fortuning/tailoring the shade and other physical andchemical properties of a dye will emerge through-out the course of the tutorial.

Benefits: This course will enable you to:• Understand the concept of additive and subtrac-

tive coloration• Understand the common terms employed by

color chemists and their literature• Understand the four classes that dyes can be divided

into based on the electronic origin of the color• Understand the concept of structure/color

relationship, in the major classes of colorants

• Predict shifts in shades (bathochromic/hypsochromic) based on structural changes/modifications within the chromophore

• Understand the major classes of chromophoresemployed in making dyes of various hues

• Locate commercially available dyes and prepsfor synthetic strategies to many of them

• Employ the aforementioned benefits in orderto expand ones understanding (and capability)in developing strategies to tune/tailor dyes

Intended Audience: This course is intended forthe scientist, engineer, technician, or technicalmarketing person with a chemistry/science back-ground who needs to know about the chemistryof colorants and who is likely to be new to thefield.

IMAGE QUALITY: PERCEPTION ANDQUANTIFICATION

Instructor: Eric K. Zeise,NexPress Solutions LLC

A meaningful description of image quality requiresan accurate linkage between the measurement of anattribute and its perceived quality. Measurementwithout a linkage to perception can lead to mean-ingless specsmanship. Perception without objec-tive measurement can degenerate to opinion.

In this course, we examine the characteristicsand limitations of human visual perception andthe models of perception used to describe the ap-pearance of objects. From this perspective, weidentify important attributes of image quality andinvestigate measurement techniques used to quan-tify these attributes. We examine the scope, util-ity and limitations of standards that permitcomparison of non-impact printing device imagequality. We will work through short examples ofpsychometric scaling methods that create the re-quired relationship between instrumental measure-ment and perceived quality, allowing a meaningful,quantitative measurement of perceived image qual-ity.

Benefits: This course will enable you to:• Learn how to utilize psychometric scaling meth-

ods to provide meaningful, quantitative mea-surement of perceived image quality

• Understand the limitations of perception toavoid over-specification

Tutorial Program• Understand the applicability of important image

quality measurement techniques• Understand the utility of standards for

comparison of device image qualityIntended Audience: This course is directed to-wards anyone seeking to understand the quantita-tive measurement of perceived image quality. Noprior experience is necessary.

ELECTROSTATIC TONER TRANSFER:METHODS, PHYSICS, AND

INTERACTIONSInstructor: Thomas N. Tombs, NexPress Solutions LLC

An important and potentially quality-limiting stepin all electrophotographic machines is the trans-fer of toner from the photoconductor to paper. Asignificant degree of complexity is inherent intoner transfer resulting from the many interactionsthat exist with essential every other subsystem inthe electrophotographic process. In this course,an explanation of the underlying physics that ap-ply to all methods of dry-toner transfer laid theground work for understanding the many interac-tions and noise factors. Throughout the coursepractical working knowledge of transfer technolo-gies is conveyed.

Benefits: This course will enable you to:• Explain the fundamental physics of toner transfer• Calculate the electrostatic and surface adhesion

forces on toner particles• Comprehend the operation of various

electrostatic transfer technologies• Identify noise factors and material properties

that affect toner transfer• Describe and explain causes of transfer-related

image quality degradation• List and explain the interactions between the

transfer subsystem and other subsystemsIntended Audience: This course is intended forengineers, scientists, and managers involved inelectrophotographic research, development, orcommercialization. Familiarity with the electro-photographic process and college-level physics arerecommended prerequisites.

Thomas N. Tombs received a Ph.D. degree inelectrical engineering from the Univ. of Roches-ter specializing in the fields of electrostatics and

particle electromechanics. Since 1992 he has beenresearching and developing electrophotographictechnologies, first at Eastman Kodak Company andsince 1998 with NexPress Solutions, a Kodak/Heidel-berg joint venture.

BUSINESS IN JAPANInstructor: Robert J. Nash, Consultant,

Hafren Associates

Since Japan continues to be an active center forresearch, development and marketing for non-im-pact marking technologies, travel to Japan hasbecome a routine event for many Western engi-neers, technologists and business professionalsinvolved in such technologies. However, for manyWesterners, repeated travel to Japan does not elimi-nate the strong feeling of being a foreigner in a dis-tinctly non-Western environment. Though survivalin such a foreign environment can be eased thanksto written instructions provided by thoughtful Japa-nese hosts, by willingness for Japanese counter-parts to use English as a common language, etc.,subtle cross-cultural issues still remain as causesfor unease in the Western mind.

Unfortunately, such issues tend to increase as aresult of repeated visits — gradually, an obser-vant Western visitor will begin to comprehendsome of the unwritten rules that govern life in Ja-pan, and in retrospect will appreciate just howmany social gaffes can made during initial, ca-sual visits. While such gaffes may be viewed asminor embarrassments by some Westerners, it isimportant to realize, from a working relationshipviewpoint, that Japanese hosts will evaluate West-ern visitors on the basis of such gaffes — it ishuman nature to use internal benchmarks to formopinions, and since the Japanese rules of behav-ior are significantly non-Western, there are greatopportunities for misunderstandings and errone-ous judgments. From problems with footwear,with chopsticks, with forms of verbal address, withoverall decorum, etc., the possibilities for trans-gressions seem endless, even if the "cures" are of-ten trivial. Accordingly, in my tutorial I hope thatI can provide an inside Western perspective onsome of the more baffling aspects of interactionsin a Japanese environment, and offer some point-ers for behavior that will delight and impress Japa-nese hosts and colleagues.

The course will focus on general cultural and

interpersonal topics — advanced business-orientedtopics such as Western vs. Japanese negotiationstrategies, “Japanese financial systems, Japaneselabor rules, etc., will not be covered.

Benefits: This course will enable you to:• Learn about Japanese life through the experi-

ences of a resident foreigner living daily in aJapanese environment

• Handle the logistics of everyday life in Japan— travel by trains and taxis, dining inrestaurants, etc.

• Use and comprehend key, short Japanesephrases — greetings, questions, expressions ofthanks, etc.

• Develop a clear and understandablepronunciation of common Japanese words andphrases

• Develop an understanding of the historical andcultural framework to life in Japan

• Appreciate the importance of introductions, ofgift-giving, etc.

• Identify and interpret the “Japanese UnwrittenRules of Behavior” — body language, “codewords”, expected responses, etc.

• Recognize the need for harmony, for a quietself-effacing demeanor, for patience, forapologies, etc.

• Understand the style of business interactions— consensus, teamwork, attention to detail,devotion to Company, etc.

Intended Audience: This course will be of interestto all “foreigners” who travel to Japan on business,especially those who still feel confused and uncom-fortable even after repeated short-term visits.

Japanese nationals might also appreciate theforeigner’s view of their homeland presented inthe tutorial — such a perspective might help ex-plain some of the puzzling behavior typicallyshown by visiting foreigners.

Robert J. Nash was a xerographic researchtechnologist at the Xerox Corporation from 1970until 2001. After fifteen years of short technol-ogy-interchange visits to Japan, he finally relo-cated to Japan in 1988 for a long-term expatriateassignment. For almost three years he spent hisdays as the lone Xerox Resident at Fuji Xerox,Takematsu, while his wife steadily expanded hercircle of Japanese friends through activities suchas quilting and informal English Conversationclasses. They lived in a hybrid Japanese/Westernhouse in a totally Japanese residential area awayfrom Tokyo, and since all of their friends wereJapanese they became well-established as the lo-cal resident “foreigners”. By driving their own carsand by shopping unaided at the local shops, theywere definitely recognized as non-tourists, andconsequently were often assumed to be magicallyfluent in Japanese. Unfortunately, however, thetruth is that they were proficient enough to get

LIQUID TONER PRINTING: 2003TECHNOLOGY AND APPLICATIONS

Instructors: George Gibson and James Larson,Xerox Corporation

Liquid toner technologies have long been held asproviding versatile methods for imaging in a varietyof applications. Known for high image quality, es-pecially high quality color, liquid toners are never-theless, less widely used today. This course will coverthe variety of liquid toner processes that are and havebeen used including the strengths and limitations ofeach and the major application areas in which thesetechniques are used. The course will include an analy-sis of improvements of liquid toner systems foundin recent technical literature and patents. Much ofthis material will be new and has not been includedin previous versions of this course.

Benefits: This course will enable you to:• Recognize the fundamentals of five generations

of liquid toner device architectures• Appreciate the composition and preparation

methods for liquid toners• Describe how the components of the toner and

characteristics of the process drive print properties• Know the major market applications where

liquid toners are employed today• Learn about recent innovations in liquid toner

technologyIntended Audience: The course in intended for tech-nical professionals who want to become more knowl-edgeable about non-impact printing technology.

EXTERNAL ADDITIVES FORXEROGRAPHIC TONERS

Instructor: Robert J. Nash, Consultant,Hafren Associates

With few exceptions, present-day xerographic ton-ers are surface-coated with sub-micron particu-lates, such as fumed silicas, titanias, etc. Thesesurface additives, which are typically dry-blendedonto the toner particles in the final stage of toner

production, enhance toner performance in key pro-cess steps such as development and transfer. Inparticular, external additives are especially impor-tant in full-color toner applications, for perfor-mance optimization of four individual toner types.This course will provide an overview of toner ex-ternal additives and their effective application tosingle and dual-component toners.

Benefits: This course will enable you to:• Understand the impact on toner performance

of key additive properties such as size and sur-face composition

• Compare the various processes used to blendexternal additives onto toner surfaces

• Identify and quantify the effect of toner exter-nal additives on key toner development charac-teristics such as charge level, polarity, chargingrate, etc., and developer properties such as con-ductivity

• Evaluate the effect of toner external additiveson the response of xerographic developers tochanges ambient humidity

• Describe the impact of external additives ontoner charging in terms of a simple model

Intended Audience: This course is intended toprovide a quantitative review of toner external ad-ditive effects. It should be of interest to scientistsinvolved in pure xerographic materials research,and to scientists and engineers active in appliedtoner concept development or toner manufactur-ing technologies.

Robert Nash received his Ph.D. in PhysicalChemistry from the University of Bristol, England.He joined the Xerox Corporation in 1970. His re-search and modeling studies at Xerox were fo-cused on the design and evaluation of xerographictoners, carriers and developers, with especial em-phasis on "aging" mechanisms and additive ef-fects. From 1998 until the end of 2000 he servedan expatriate assignment at Fuji Xerox, Takematsu,Japan, as the Senior Manager, Resident for theXerox Supplies Development, Manufacturing andSupply Chain Operations organization. He retiredfrom Xerox in early 2002, and currently providesa consulting service on a variety of subjects, rang-ing from xerographic materials to cross-culturalinteractions with Japan. Starting with the 4th. In-ternational NIP Congress in 1988, he yearly pre-sented the results of his studies at the IS&T NIPConference. In 1990, he served as PublicationChairman for the 6th NIP Congress, and in 1992he was Chairman of the IS&T Honors & AwardsCommittee. In 1999, he was named as a Fellow ofthe IS&T, and in 2002 he jointly received theChester Carlson Award with his long-time col-league, Dr. J.T. Bickmore.
