Abstract

For various types of paper differing in color and surface texture, a study has been made of the factors governing the developed print qualities achieved using a magnetic applicator to apply fine iron flake powders and the subsequent retrieval of the magnetic flake from the papers using a rare-earth permanent magnet.

Keywords:
