Özet: In this study, printability properties of plant fiber-reinforced green composite materials were examined to understand the effect of surface topography. Since green composites are environmentally friendly materials, the main purpose of this study is to investigate and find new application areas. For this purpose, bio-composite plates using luffa fiber as reinforcement and epoxy as the matrix was produced. Then, the surfaces of these plates were carried out by the screen printing method. Before and after printing, the surface roughness values of the produced bio-composites were measured using 3D non-contact optical profilometer. Then, 3D Optical Profilometer is used to scan the surface roughness of bio-composite materials. The EPI 20X v35 lens was used to profile the surface of bio-composite materials. According to the obtained results, it has been found that the improvement of the composite surface topography increased surface smoothness, which is the most important characteristic of printability for obtained images sharpness.
