The results of CFD research using the VOF method with Open Foam open source are presented. In the process of study, we built a digital model allowing us to analyze and predict the process of interaction of the dampening solution with substrate (paper) surface in the measuring cell of the PDA ultrasonic device. Discretization of the area for calculation was created using the blockMesh utility. A block-structural hexahedral computational grid has been constructed. The computational grid area is presented in such a way that the number of cells increases in the direction of the paper sample. The visualization of calculations in the ParaView package coincides with the time intervals obtained on the PDA ultrasonic measuring device. The practical significance of the study lies in the realization of the possibility to evaluate the dampening solution parameters, to control the modes of its supply, taking into account the use of modern papers and printing systems.

The paper parameters were selected for a computer model using open source software to predict their interaction with the dampening solution in an offset printing machine and in an ultrasonic measuring device. The indices characterizing the penetration of alcohol-free and alcohol dampening solutions with 5% and 10% content of isopropyl alcohol into the structure of offset coated papers on PDA c02 ultrasonic measuring device were obtained and analyzed. The surface profiles of coated offset papers are obtained on a Micro Measure 3D Station three-dimensional non-contact profilometer for constructing the surface geometry of papers in a graphical interface. A tstartswelling value was found characterizing the time of the beginning of fiber swelling in the paper structure, which will allow setting the time for calculating the numerical model. The obtained t95 and USI 70 indices are recommended for an indirect assessment of the identity of a computer model to the actual conditions for the onset of interaction and penetration of dampening solutions into the paper pores.

Results of testing the additive technology and recommendations for its implementation into the structure of maintenance and repair of printing plants are given, as an example of manufacturing simple parts in a service point. Additive technology method was used for manufacture and testing of coatings of feeder table sheet feeding rolls and web conductors, the housing of the stroboscope for monitoring the check marks on the impression print in the process of printing, sealing packings to the automatic cleaning system of offset machines printing unit. A preliminary analysis of print materials, presented in the Russian market, that can be used in print works for manufacturing spare parts of printing machines, was carried out.
