UV waterless hi-definition printing provides several advantages over conventional printing methods in 3 sentences: It uses UV inks that do not contain volatile organic compounds or require water, allowing for faster postpress without chemicals. It can reduce ink usage by 20-30% through 10-micron dots that provide sharper images while avoiding health risks associated with conventional inks. The process also keeps water resources cleaner by producing developing fluid with only 0.8-1.4% of the biochemical and chemical oxygen demand of conventional printing waste.

The document discusses recyclability testing for paper printed with UV ink. It summarizes the standard de-inking test procedure used in Japan and identifies some controversial points about the testing methodology. The document then presents results from a de-inking test of four different inks, including UV ink printed at different densities. Some key issues raised include whether the testing accurately represents real-world printing and recycling processes and conditions.
The document discusses simplifying PCR calculations for printed products. It proposes a new PCR that calculates carbon emissions from only 10 items, compared to current PCRs that consider many more items. Case studies show the new PCR estimates carbon emissions as 1.7-18.5% lower than current PCRs. Current PCRs also have variability, with carbon estimates ranging from -21.5% to +7.1% depending on emission factors, and +23.4% to -19.0% depending on calculation method used. Therefore, both new and current PCRs provide a range rather than absolute carbon calculations.

Freegans are people who live with limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources. They advocate for generosity, cooperation, and sharing as opposed to materialism, competition, and greed. Freegans derive their name from "free" and "vegan", as they avoid consuming animal products or products tested on animals in order to not cause harm. They also recognize abuse of people, animals, and the environment throughout the industrial production process and avoid consuming most products for this reason. Some strategies Freegans employ include dumpster diving to collect discarded food instead of purchasing it.

Bungee jumping involves jumping from a tall structure while attached to an elastic cord. It is an adrenaline sport that requires jumping from a fixed object like a bridge or building, or sometimes from a helicopter. To bungee jump safely, one must be in good physical health without heart conditions and not afraid of heights. Special equipment like a harness, padded bumper, bindings, and gloves are used along with safety measures by a professional operator to control the fall and provide a progressive braking as the elastic cord supports up to a ton of weight.

We proudly introduce “KIMAYU moist & smoothing all-in-one gel” by explaining 3-key edge as skin care product.
1st edge: silk protein (sericin=outer coat of silk fiber), which is extracted from precious “golden cocoon” in Thailand, is used as one of main ingredients (popular and common ingredients for gel, such as hydrolyzed elastin, hydrolyzed collagen, sodium hyaluronic are certainly supplemented) and can penetrate deep into the skin to moisturize for sustained period of time because amino acids in silk protein have the same character as Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) in the skin. The reason why we selected “golden cocoon” is that it has one of carotenoids named “lutein” protecting the skin from oxidization and UV light damage that lead to aging issue. Unfortunately, normal white cocoon does not contain lutein.
2nd edge: natural ingredient percentage is raised up to 98.7% by replacing petroleum-based ingredients to natural-based ones. Additionally, paraben/alcohol/ synthetic surfactant/dye addition/mineral oil/aroma chemical are strictly banned by our product policy. Some of our customers who have sensitive skin problem (used to be troubled with allergies or atopic dermatitis) also tried KIMAYU, but had no skin trouble like itch or inflammation.
3rd edge: product design thought of all-in-one gel is supported by the idea indicating toner/milky lotion/serum are not required for daily skin care. Thanks to all-in-one concept, you can reduce skin care expense and time drastically. Speaking of cost saving, if you use high-end skin care set (toner/milky lotion/serum), then change to KIMAYU to keep more money in your pocket, you can save around \240,000/yr. (if mid-ranged product, \66,000/yr.) It will be amazingly big cost cut; you can use saved money for different purposes for yourself or your lovely family.
Please start our KIMAYU for your daily skin care from now on.
Be beautiful and smart as well for considering your spending.
This document discusses establishing international standards for assessing the quality levels of de-inked pulp. It proposes that ISO outlines the general testing procedures and parameters while regional certifying bodies set specific de-inking quality levels tailored to their capabilities. The standardization aims to 1) classify de-inked pulp quality levels, 2) encourage suppliers to develop more de-inkable products, and 3) guide printers and buyers to use more de-inkable materials.
The document summarizes the results of a printing standardization trial using Staccato-10 micron dot screening. Key findings include:
1) Analysis using Kodak's ColorFlow analyzer showed dot gains were fairly consistent for all colors, within target ranges. Some overprints like MY showed larger differences than targets set by a 175lpi print.
2) Measurements of solid ink densities, dot gains, trap densities and color differences of patches were mostly within acceptable ranges for the high-definition printing method, though a few colors like apparent trap densities were slightly lower than expected.
3) Overall, the vast majority (91.9%) of color differences between printed patches and targets were below a
This document summarizes the results of a printing standardization trial conducted by Dr. Shimizu to analyze high-definition printing using 10-micron Staccato dots. Analysis was performed using Kodak's ColorFlow analyzer and focused on color matching for different standards and proofs, as well as between different presses. The trial found average color differences of 3.3 with some areas needing adjustment to improve trapping values and gamut. Dr. Shimizu concluded continuous quality analysis is important to empower quality experts and ensure assistance from Japanese suppliers supports high printing quality.

New approaches for quantifying the carbon footprint of paper books and e-books are presented. For paper books, additional factors considered include the carbon savings from paper and plate recycling, as well as the footprint of bookstore operations and shopping transportation. For e-books, assumptions are made about daily usage times for devices like the iPad and iPhone to estimate reading footprint. Various usage scenarios are modeled to compare the footprint of paper books and e-books.
Dr. Shimizu Hirokazu of Shimizu Printing Inc. discusses their focus on utilizing advanced UV printing technology and environmental impact assessment methods. Their UV 10-color + coating unit allows for limitless printing possibilities on paper and plastic. Their waterless UV printing produces high definition prints with less ink usage and no volatile organic compounds, solvents, or water additives. They utilize the Printing Goes Green carbon calculator to analyze environmental impacts and identify opportunities to improve eco-efficiency.
1) The document compares the carbon footprint of a paper book and an e-book.
2) It finds that the paper book has a carbon footprint of 579g of CO2 equivalents per copy, while the e-book has a lower footprint of 277g of CO2 equivalents per copy.
3) A sensitivity analysis shows that even with different user behaviors of the e-book reading device, the e-book still has a lower carbon footprint than the paper book.
The document discusses carbon footprinting and life cycle assessment (LCA) for the printing industry. It introduces the speaker, Hirokazu Shimizu, and his research on developing a carbon calculator called PGG-CLOUD to calculate the carbon footprint of printing processes. International standards for carbon footprinting are being developed through ISO, with many countries actively involved. The document compares the system boundaries and stages included in carbon footprinting according to general, ISO, French, German and Japanese methods. It provides a sample carbon footprint calculation in kg CO2e for printing 5000 copies of a book in different countries.

0.900 This document discusses integrated life cycle assessment (LCA) for printing services in emerging countries. It aims to help emerging countries localize printing service LCA through collaboration with universities. The conceptual diagram shows how LCA classifies impacts into categories that are then characterized, normalized, and aggregated into an environmental load point (ELP) integrated indicator. The ELP determines category importance through analytic hierarchy process questionnaires. Category importance can significantly impact overall environmental analysis and differs between stakeholder groups in Thailand and Japan.
