The present disclosure describes light systems in which the intensity of base color LEDs configured to emit light within a target color region is increased using additional white LEDs and the emitted light is filtered so that a dominant portion of light passing through the filter at a particular viewing angle is within the target color region.

Methods, systems and produced printed substrates are provided, which include substrates composed of one or more materials which are treated by an intermediate layer for normalizing surface energies and a digitally printed formulation adapted to the normalized surface energies. Surface energy normalization may be carried out by physical processes or by selective chemical processes. In an example, a self-assembled monolayer is applied to the surface of a printed circuit board to control ink jet dots by reducing copper surface energy and to improve ink adhesion. The self-assembled monolayer binds via an α group selectively and covalently to the copper on the board and binds via a hydrophobic ω group to solder mask ink that is applied to the board. The ω group participates in the solidification process of the ink.
