As the characteristics required for the printer, the environmental concerns such as power saving, recycling and decrease of the exhaust gases are growing in addition to basic demand such as high speed and high resolution. So each company is developing its technology recently. In that case, the understanding of the composition, the morphology and physical properties of the material and understanding analytically the phenomenon occurring in the process of printing become the shortcut towards technical improvement.
In this text, in two fields of inkjet printer and electrophotography, some examples of analyses are introduced about from the material to the printed matter including chemical composition analysis, surface analysis, morphological study and physical property analysis.
