Description

The feeding dampening water method and the equipment of offset press
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method and apparatus that is used at the supply Wetting Solution of offset press.
Background technology
In offset printing technology, for the repulsive interaction by water and oils China ink is optionally used China ink at grade the printing zone of forme, at first by using the Wetting Solution feedway on the whole surface of forme, to use Wetting Solution (or water) equably, then by using ink roller on the whole surface of forme, to be coated with China ink.The reason that Clicks here because the non-printing zone of forme has been carried out hydrophilic treated, on the other hand, has been carried out the lipophilic processing to printing zone, has formed the film of Wetting Solution and be not coated with China ink on non-printing zone, and China ink only is coated in printing zone.China ink on the forme on the printing zone is in case transfer on the rubber surface of blanket cylinder, thereafter just by the gap between blanket cylinder and the impression cylinder as image transfer to printing sheets, i.e. paper web.
As mentioned above, in hectographic printing, used Wetting Solution, and in this Wetting Solution, added the etchant solution (etchant) of similar weak acid solution, thereby reduced the affinity of the printing zone of forme for oil.Usually consider that the pH value that Wetting Solution has in 4.5 to 6.5 scopes is more appropriate.Be lower than in the pH value under the situation of above-mentioned scope (promptly, hydrogen ion concentration improves), forme is corroded, its serviceable bife shortens thus, on the contrary, under the pH value is higher than the situation of above-mentioned scope (that is, hydrogen ion concentration reduces), the estranged ability of printing zone reduces, or causes producing the risk of the black emulsification generation of the pollution in the printing on the forme (printing is polluted).Usually, in order to make printing quality stable, the concentration of etchant is controlled by indicated pH value.
In addition, require Wetting Solution on the non-printing zone of forme, to be diffused as film.Therefore, in the prior art, add the surfactant such as the ethanol class in Wetting Solution, for example isopropyl alcohol, alcohol etc. make Wetting Solution evenly diffuse throughout on the non-printing zone of forme.Can use other surfactant instead of ethanol class such as ethylene glycol.
Yet, even the concentration of Wetting Solution etchant with pointed pH value control, in some cases, is printed and is polluted and will take place inevitably.In this case, known by experience, the temperature control or the management of Wetting Solution are very important for stablizing printing quality.That is, under the very big situation about changing of the temperature of Wetting Solution, Wetting Solution also greatly changes for the coating or the adhesion of non-printing zone, and the character of China ink also changes, and has caused unsettled printing quality.For example, in summer, the temperature of Wetting Solution raises along with the rising of environment temperature, and therefore, the quantitative change that is retained in the Wetting Solution of non-printing zone gets inhomogeneous, and it is easy to cause printing the generation of pollution.By the temperature of control Wetting Solution, Wetting Solution can be diffused on the non-printing zone of forme fully, therefore, can improve printing quality.In addition, expectation remains on the temperature of Wetting Solution in 9 to 15 ℃ the scope.
In conventional art,, adopted the Wetting Solution automatic adjustment equipment in order to manage the pH value and the temperature of Wetting Solution.This Wetting Solution automatic adjustment equipment by response from the signal that is arranged on the pH value detector in the Wetting Solution adjustment jar and the Wetting Solution in Wetting Solution adjustment jar adds etchant or water and carries out the pH of Wetting Solution and adjust, and operate refrigerator or heater by response from the signal of temperature measuring equipment and carry out Wetting Solution temperature adjustment (for example, disclosed) as the open No.SHO60-3994 of Japan Patent.
In addition, pH value and the temperature that is used to control or manage the faintly acid Wetting Solution keeps constant traditional Wetting Solution method of adjustment and equipment can comprise following shortcoming.
(1) owing to will control the temperature of Wetting Solution, so will drive refrigerator and heater throughout the year, this causes that power consumption increases.
(2) owing to be used for the power supply of refrigerator or heater, promptly thermal source is arranged near the printing machine, so the environmental condition variation around the workplace, particularly in summer.
(3) owing to will control the temperature of Wetting Solution, Wetting Solution circulates between the water storage part (as wetting source) of Wetting Solution device that must be in being arranged at offset press and the temperature control unit, thereby cooling or heating Wetting Solution for this reason, must always drive circulating pump.
(4) because Wetting Solution contacts with ink roller, and Wetting Solution is subjected to the pollution of China ink, solvent etc. always circulate between wetting source and temperature control unit, thereby need filter to filter contaminated Wetting Solution.
(5) because dew is easy to be formed on the Wetting Solution feed path, particularly in summer, between the room temperature of temperature and the printing office of this place's Wetting Solution, there is bigger difference, must blocks circulating water channel or pipe, wetting source etc. between printing machine and the temperature control unit by using isolated part.In addition, do not isolate or situation that isolated part peels off under, dew can be dropped on the printing paper, and has hindered black transfer, destroys printing quality, causes inconvenience thus.
(6) to adjust equipment itself relatively more expensive for Wetting Solution, and the ability of considering refrigerator and heater is necessary for printing machine usually a Wetting Solution adjustment equipment is set, and this has caused the increase of printing cost and maintenance cost, brings problem thus.
(7) because contaminated Wetting Solution will circulate, must change filter or periodically clean the Wetting Solution jar, its detection or safeguard is pretty troublesomely made troubles thus.
For fear of above-mentioned shortcoming and defect, therefore purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of feeding dampening water method and equipment that is used for offset press.
