Sažetak

For high-quality black & white printing realized with an electrophotography printing machine, it is necessary to prepare and the printing substrate. For optimal adhesion of the black liquid electrophotography ink to the printing substrate, it is necessary to apply additional treatment to meet ideal substrate surface tension by means of corona treatment and/or coating with fluid for regulating the surface tension (primer). This paper examines the influence of the corona power and the thickness of used fluid for the regulation of surface tension on the achromatic digital reproduction quality. Within electrophotographic printing process, this implies determining the differences in the colour gamut volume, the structure of characteristic screening elements, the amplitude-modulated screening, and the increase in the number of colour separations. The results show that the optimal colour tone values, colour gamut, and dot gain, high quality of digital prints will be realised without use of the fluid for the regulation of surface tension and without activation of the corona power. That confirms that the FOGRA values for industrial standards can be used for quality electrophotography printing.
