PAPRIQUA (PAPer PRInt QUAlity) is ERA-NET CORNET project funded by national agencies members of the CORNET Network. Despite all endeavours on the part of the paper industry, it is not possible to reliably predict either runnability or printability. In other words, paper quality cannot be adequately characterised as far as these two properties are concerned. The aim of this project is to be able to better anticipate and estimate printability in heatset web and sheet-fed offset printing. At the same time, special attention will be given to print-related phenomena such as ghosting, vanishing dots and mottling. Since these properties are dependent on the time spent passing through the printing press, passive trials have been envisaged for the most part. This means that, generally speaking, papers with print-related problems are to be analysed.
