Gutenberg Foundation - Argentine Institute of Graphic Arts and the Applied Photonics Group of the Delta Regional Faculty of the National Technological University, teamed up to work together in the development of a new optical technique to be applied in the characterization of printed materials. Within this framework, a PDTS project was carried out that was oriented to the application of optical coherence tomography (OCT) for the characterization of inks and coatings on different flexible substrates, mainly PET-type polymers and cardboard, products printed by flexography. The introduction to the topic and the motivation to generate this collaborative work are presented below, as well as the description of the technique used and the results obtained so far. Finally, the conclusions are presented with the perspectives of the proposed development and future work.
