Inkjet Term of the Week: Outgassing

Outgassing occurs as an inkjet print dries. The effect is more pronounced on glossy, semi-gloss, and luster papers. Outgassing is the release of glycols that are the carrier fluid in inkjet ink. They are released by the paper over a period of time after the print is complete.

This leads us to another inkjet term - Gas Ghosting

"Gas ghosting" is the light haze that appears on frame glass or plastic because of the glycols released during outgassing.

Here's how to prevent Gas Ghosting

1. After printing, allow your print to rest in the open for 15 minutes

2. Now, lay a piece of plain copy paper on top of your print for 24 hours. The plain paper will absorb the ink solvents and speed up the drying process

3. After a full 24 hours check the plain paper to see if it look wavy. If so, it means the paper is still absorbing ink solvents. Place another sheet of plain paper on top of your print and wait another 24 hours.

If the plain paper is flat, and not wavy, then your print is ready to be framed.

If you find a framed image with a light haze on the inside of the glass, then your print is still out-gassing. Remove the print, do the above steps, clean the glass, and reframe the print.
