The decoration of ceramic tiles “ink-jet revolution” has brought significant advantages to tiles manufacturing, but the explosive diffusion, until 4–5 years ago, of this technique has not been accomplished by an adequate scientific research. Among all the features that have to be studied yet, one of the most important is the influence of the new generation inks on the total emission at ceramic ...

This paper was selected as the 2005 IS&T Itek Award for outstanding original student publication in the field of imaging science and engineering (full version published in JIST 48 #2). In order to produce color ink jet prints with good fastness properties, the use of special, coated papers is generally essential. This study examined the water fastness of ink jet prints using experimental coated...
