For Dotworks (Recognition Systems, Inc.) On a consulting visit to solve a coating streak problem for the Tango inkjet imaged printing plate, Expert found that the smoothness of the lithoplate had a major impact on the openness of small reverse type. A patent application based on this finding has been filed and is pending. For Jetplate (a Florida Corporation). The Jetplate corporation was having a problem of erratic inkjet printing on its inkjet imaged printing plates. This was believed to be caused by nozzle plugging. Examination revealed the actual cause was long term storage of the inkjet fluid in plastic containers, which preferentially imbibed the hydrophobic surfactant in the fluid, causing the erratic printing results. For Mars Corporation. He developed a method of printing high contrast images on M&M candies using the technique of laser toner fusion, with a scanned infrared laser diode beam.
