Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng):Coating technology has afforded papermakers a way to advance in manipulating the final product to suit the paper properties that are required by the printing industry.
The base paper quality still needs to be at a high level to produce a high quality coated product.

The use of inkjet printers in small office home office (SOHO) environment is growing.
The growth of the use of digital cameras has opened a market for a paper grade which is one step up from the normal surface sized office and copier papers.
In South Africa there is no inkjet paper grade currently being produced so users have to buy expensive imported paper if they want high quality prints.
The objective of this experiment was to develop an inkjet paper grade which would cost less than the commercially available papers in South Africa while having better print properties than office paper.

The experiments involved formulating a series of coating colours in the lab, each aimed at improving the printability of paper in a HP Deskjet printer using DOD thermal inkjet technology.
A surface sized office paper was chosen as the base paper for all experiments.
The papers were coated in the laboratory coaters using a profiled rod metering system.
The target pick-up was 5g/m[2] due to the cost of the formulations.
The coating mixes went through some standard tests, solids, viscosity and pH.

The coated paper were then visually assessed in terms of print quality which included colour to colour bleed, feathering uniformity of print and colour brilliance.
The colour density (optical density) was measured using a reflection densitometer.

Silica gel based coatings with PVOH as the sole binder are accepted in the industry as the best for inkjet papers.
It was discovered that adding calcium carbonate and cationic starch into the mix lowered the cost of the formulation while improving print quality in properties like colour to colour bleed and feathering.
