  • In 2001, INGEDE initiated a program to investigate the recyclability of digital prints. It resulted in a Task Force and a research project, supported by INGEDE and located at the CTP in Grenoble (France). Already the first tests showed that digital printing like Indigo or inkjet means a major problem for recycling – these inks cannot be removed during paper recycling.

  • At a workshop on October 18, 2001, at CTP the problem was discussed with a few representatives of the printer industry. The task force has been formed to monitor developments and investigate parameters that might lead to a better deinkability.

  • In the meantime more companies from the printer industry joined the task force. A summary of the work within the project has been presented by CTP at the PAPTAC Seminar 2004:

    Digital Prints: A Survey of Deinkability (2004)

  • Aktuelle Untersuchungen zur Deinkbarkeit von Digitaldrucken: Bruno Carré trug auf der "International Conference on Digital Production Printing and Industrial Applications" (DPP, 9.-13. Mai 2005 in Amsterdam) vor.
  • Kurzfassung des Vortrags
    Langfassung: Digital Prints: A survey of the various deinkability behaviors

  • INGEDE organisiert den "European Round Table on the Deinking of Digital Prints" – bitte nehmen Sie bei Interesse mit uns Kontakt auf! Wenn Sie im Feld Digitaldruck arbeiten (mit Toner, Tinte, Druckern), würden wir uns freuen, wenn Sie sich an der Diskussion beteiligen.

  • As a first result, this Round Table has agreed on test files to allow deinkability testing of digital prints with a uniform pattern.
