The single result of multiple video cameras 8 is merged: at this point, all circle center points in camera pixel coordinate It is (excellent that (central coordinate of the disk 21 printed sought out) by means of transformation (referring to step a00) is converted into printed pixels Needle selection to each video camera 8 separately).Herein also to the distortion caused by camera optics system and due to taking the photograph Other torsions caused by not faultless assembly/adjustment (such as fault orientation and/or torsion of different cameras) of camera 8 Song compensates, and all the points of all video cameras 8 are directed to fixed, common frame of reference (" DruckDots "). Transformation is preferred for as a result: these video cameras individually being measured and are associated with each other.Preferably, all video cameras 8 are (with machinery side Formula) so it is connected with each other, so that each interval holding of these video cameras 8 each other is constant.
Page orientation is modified when detecting: at this point, for each page 2 detected, being existed: frame of reference The data group of the circle center point (central coordinate of the required taking-up of the disk 21 printed) of required taking-up in " DruckDots " (actual value), and the provided reference data set (rated value) of the ideal circle center point of disk 21 printed.This Reference data set can be obtained or thing being detected in a manner of camcorder technology and being generated in a manner of computing technique First obtained based on provided printed data.The two data groups are oriented each other first, mode is, such as by minimum Square law fitting (Least-Squares Fit) is determined referring to the rotation (parameter) and movement optimized for this orientation (two parameters).It is possible inaccurate when passing through machine 1 to curvature as a result, and when page 2 is fed for the second round d Property compensates.
D2) in the case where upper gloss varnish: also detecting the second test pattern 18 to extend due to storage b by video camera 8. In this case, the second reference picture 19 then also relates to the second test pattern.Because upper gloss varnish d2 is after dry a3 It carries out, thus the second test image 18 not or is only shunk not bigly before extension.
By the way that the lighting condition progress in machine 1 to be then advantageously adapted to, the second test chart can also be detected together Case 18, and can be subjected to same analysis treatment progress: the illumination (instead of in diffusion) of reflection make printable fabric surface with Comparison enough is obtained between luminous gloss varnish surface, wherein at the same maintain in camera review ink and printable fabric it Between enough comparisons.
E) compensation of printing image 13 is calculated:
E1) in the case where upper gloss varnish:
E11) compare the second test pattern 18 and the second reference in the second reference picture 19 in a manner of computer supported The first test pattern 16 in image 19.
E12 the difference between the first test pattern 16 and the second test pattern 18) is calculated in a manner of computer supported. Furthermore it is preferred that it is considered that the interval variation of the test badge (disk) between the two test patterns.It is distinguished based on these, The coefficient of torsion for subsequent adaptation e13 can be obtained in a manner of computer supported.These coefficients of torsion can calculate Pusher side is stored and is called in the following print job with same printable fabric.
E13 it) is based on difference calculated, by ' the adaptation of gloss varnish image 13 to be printed preferably in a manner of computer supported In ink image 13 to be printed.If producing gloss varnish image in digital form, corresponding print head is by being adapted to Gloss varnish image controled.Differently therefrom, using traditional gloss varnish version, it is possible thereby to the gloss varnish image 13 that will be adapted to ' the manufacture (or exposure) for (adaptation) gloss varnish version.
By comparing the coordinate of the first test pattern 16 (ink) and additional the second test pattern 18 (gloss varnish) applied, by This can calculate movement/deformation between ink and gloss varnish (or corresponding image).However, due to being adapted in lighting condition Worse signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the case that gloss varnish is applied, may lose measurement accuracy.Therefore it can be beneficial that it is preferred that dividing Open independently and with high accuracy measurement page deformation, and then separately and low accuracy measure pigment-gloss varnish- Register (Farb-Lack-Register).This method requires the reflection characteristic on printable fabric surface and gloss varnish surface to have enough areas Not.For the second test pattern 18, has proven to as advantageously, instead of in the dot on unprinted printable fabric, and use The circular void 60 (referring to fig. 2) on the printable fabric of gloss varnish is gone up, because these gaps 60 can more reliably and less be done It disturbs/is less inaccurately printed.It alternatively, can also be in upper gloss varnish unit 10 using coloured silk in order to be measured to deformation Color/dyeing gloss varnish or printing color.Then special illumination is not needed, and measurement result there may be and print phase As accuracy.
E21 the first test pattern 16 and the first reference in the second reference picture 19) are compared in a manner of computer supported The first test pattern 16 in image 17.Herein can with it is desirable that, it is contemplated that so-called charging to version (Anlagepasser), That is: by the two reference picture mutual orientations, especially along the direction transverse to the direction that page conveys.This orientation can It is realized with the center test badge at the front seamed edge according to page.
E22 the difference between the first test pattern 16 and the second test pattern 18) is calculated in a manner of computer supported. For this purpose, it is preferred that being considered that the interval variation of test badge between the two test patterns.It, can be in terms of based on these differences The mode that calculation machine is supported obtains the coefficient of torsion for subsequent adaptation e23.These coefficients of torsion can be deposited in computer-side It stores up and called in the following print job with same printable fabric.In addition to printable fabric (material, traffic direction) Except correlation, there may also be drying temperature specific for print job and/or the correlations of print speed printing speed.It therefore can be with It maintains to possess multiple coefficients of torsion for multiple print jobs, such as in the database.
Page deformation calculating: calculated between the respective point of two data groups difference vector (and in order to The monitoring of operator and optionally show, referring to fig. 4).Page can be sought out based on these vectors and/or oriented data group Open 2 accurate deformation.Resolution ratio is herein only because for finding the method for dot center and since the precision of transformation is limited System.Typically, this method at least one coefficient 3 to 5 more more acurrate than the resolution of video camera of script, thus for example big by having The camera chain of the resolution of video camera of about 670dpi may be implemented with about 10 μm or the preferably measurement of precision.
Result is reduced to several convictive parameters of tool: in the preferred configuration of test pattern 16 (referring to Fig. 3 a-e) In, these disks 21 can be set on the rectangular grid of the rule inside the printable area 80 of page 2, thus crowd around (umspannend) polygon necessarily leads to rectangle out (see, for example, the dotted line 70 in Fig. 4).These measurements can be measured The deviation (polygon 71 pointed with the finger or gesticulate in referring to fig. 4) of point and this rectangle.
The characteristic parameter as shown in Fig. 3 a to 3e is preferably calculated, mode is respectively to calculate hacures expression And measurement interval 40 shown in the disk 50 used to calculate, and (ask poor) compared with ideal interval 41.Referring to respectively Ideal expectation interval 41 calculates the interval of the interval relative constriction s=40/ 41 in the interval 40 that can be based on having measured.Dotted line The rectangle of (desired position) disk 21 around test pattern 16 is respectively represented into 3e in Fig. 3 a.Dotted line Fig. 3 a extremely The polygon of the disk 21 measured around test pattern 16 is respectively represented in 3e.
E23) based on the calculated difference of institute, preferably in a manner of computer supported by ink image 13 to be printed (with And optional gloss varnish image 13 to be printed ') adapt to (as other reference) cross cutting image 13 ".Especially to ink This adaptation of image 13 can facilitate the printing image 14 having been compensated for for the print job being lined up.It is die cut image 13 " herein It is unmodifiable (or constant image), this is because not suffering from variation significant and related with humidity (as receiving Contracting is extended such).Being die cut image 13 " can actually include useful portion to be die cut on cross cutting pattern, such as page 2 (Nutzen) location and shape (or size), cross cutting unit 11 " are controled with the cross cutting image 13.Alternatively, it is die cut image 13 " be also possible to pure (digital) useful portion's image, cross cutting unit 11 not with the cross cutting image 13 " control, that is: the mould It cuts image 13 and " is solely for other reference picture.This adaptation for example can be used as converse trapezoidal distortion and realize.Upper bright In the case where oil, gloss varnish image 13 ' is adapted to twice: once adapting to ink image 13, and another time adapts to cross cutting figure Picture 13 ".
Calculate the corrected parameter of RIP (grating image processing) process of being directed to: based on the calculated phase of institute (as described above) To contraction, the corrected parameter deformed for page 2 can be derived.Printing image (presswork of queuing) to be printed is necessary So amplified at corresponding position with Coefficient m, so that this amplification after shrinking is with the coefficient s of required taking-up (that is, s*m =1 or m=1/s) it is compensated.
F) it prints: finally, (for ink and when necessary may be used by corrected (or being adapted to distortion) image data The gloss varnish of energy) execute print job (only ink either ink highlights oil).
