English term or phrase: ink holdout
Definition from Robert Horne Group:
Degree to which a paper surface resists penetration of ink. An inked image printed on paper with a high degree of ink holdout will dry by oxidation rather than by absorption. Coated papers tend to exhibit a high degree of ink holdout.

Example sentence(s):
  • All coating consists of two primary ingredients— pigment and adhesive. The pigment provides the sheet with its brightness, ink holdout, smoothness, and gloss; however, pigment is a powder that must be bound to the sheet by an adhesive. www.graphpros.com
  • They tend to have good ink holdout and minimal dot gain, which can be especially important for recreating sharp, bright printed images, black and white halftones and four color process images. disk.com
  • Due to the non-absorbent substrate, ink holdout is maximized. This outstanding feature allows for many graphic effects to be achieved with combinations of opaque white for backing up images, leading to crisp contrasts which are ideal for 4 and 6 color work. Vacumet Corp.

πρόσφυση (μελάνης)


Definition from own experience or research:
Πρόσφυση ονομάζεται ο βαθμός κατά τον οποίο ένα χαρτί (ή οποιοδήποτε άλλο μέσο) αντιστέκεται στη διείσδυση της μελάνης μέσα στις ίνες του. Ένα χαρτί που παρουσιάζει χαμηλή πρόσφυση απορροφά τα μελάνια στους πόρους του και αλλοιώνει το επιθυμητό σχήμα των κουκκίδων, ενώ η εκτύπωση χάνει τη ζωηρότητα των χρωμάτων της διότι δεν ανακλά καλά το προσπίπτον φως.

Example sentence(s):
  • Μη ορατή μετανάστευση ουσιών από την εκτυπωμένη πλευρά του υποστρώματος στην ατύπωτη πλευρά, η οποία και θα έρθει σε άμεση επαφή το τρόφιμο. Μηχανισμοί που διέπουν την μετανάστευση: - ανεπαρκής πρόσφυση [...] - Γενικό Χημείο του Κρά�  
  • Η σειρά FRONTLIT της DAYA έχει σχεδιαστεί έτσι ώστε να μεγιστοποιεί την πρόσφυση της μελάνης και την αναπαραγωγή χρώματος. - Dataworks  
  • Σύστημα μελανών 12-χρωματων LUCIA pigment ink που εξασφαλίζει εξαιρετική πρόσφυση των χρωστικών, μεγαλύτερο gamut, με παράλληλη ελαχιστοποίηση του bronzing και του κόκκου. - freeprinters.gr
