Dr. Mikhail Laksin
Dr. Mikhail Laksin has a Ph.D in printing science and has more than 30 years of experience in developing and commercializing innovative printing and ink technologies. Mike has a broad range of expertise covering complex rheology of fluids under dynamic printing conditions, to the interactions of various printing surfaces with inks and coatings under varied conditions, which ultimately dictates print quality. His special area of expertise is with UV and EB curable inks, coatings and adhesives. Over the last few years Dr. Laksin pioneered a game changing printing technology for printing with liquid inks on non-absorbent substrates, where different colors are trapped wet on wet over each other, without requiring any inter-station drying. |
