Fig. 2 (a)~Fig. 2 (d) is other the brief description figure of embodiment of expression printing process of the present invention and printing equipment.
The specific embodiment
Below, with reference to Fig. 1 (a)~Fig. 1 (c), an embodiment of printing process of the present invention and printing equipment is described in detail.
Fig. 1 (a)~Fig. 1 (c) has represented to utilize the printing process and the printing equipment of intaglio offset mode of printing.In addition, Fig. 1 (a) and Fig. 1 (b) have represented printing process, and Fig. 1 (c) has represented the suction operation.
In this printing process, at first, shown in Fig. 1 (a) and Fig. 1 (b), in printing process,, then, support to be transferred to and be printed on the body 14 in the printing ink 13 on the surface of blanket 10 from the recess 12 of intaglio plate 11 surface transfer printing ink 13 to blanket 10.
Blanket 10 is wound onto on the metal cylinder of not shown drum, the drum that formation can be rotated with metal cylinder, and possess the support film layer and cover the surface rubber layer of the periphery of this support film layer.
The support film layer for example uses resin films such as polyester film.The thickness of support film layer for example is 20~1000 μ m, is preferably 50~500 μ m.
Surface rubber layer is 20~70 by hardness, and the rubber of (the spring rubber hardness A shapes (JIS A) of record among JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) K 6301) is made, and its thickness for example is 50~5000 μ m, is preferably 100~2000 μ m.The surface roughness of surface rubber layer is represented with 10 mean roughness, for example is 0.001~1 μ m, is preferably 0.01~0.5 μ m.
In blanket 10, the gross thickness of support film layer and surface rubber layer for example is 100~6000 μ m, is preferably 200~2500 μ m.
In addition, the external diameter of blanket 10 can suitably be selected according to printing area.
Intaglio plate 11 is the galley that is used for supplying with to the surface of blanket printing ink 13, and the purpose and the purposes corresponding concave part 12 that have and print, when printing, fills printing ink 13 in this recess 12.
In the above-mentioned printing process,, also can use lithographic plate, anhydrous lithographic plate, relief printing plate etc. as galley.
Printing ink 13 is not particularly limited, and can use various printing ink according to the purpose and the purposes of printing.And, be not limited thereto, for example can preferably use following printing ink, that is: contain resin, solvent and pigment etc., and reach 5~10% in the swelling rate that makes surface rubber layer surface rubber layer when flooding 24 hours down for 23 ℃ in printing ink.
Be printed body 14 and be not particularly limited, can be according to the suitably selections such as purposes of printing.Specifically, can enumerate transparency carriers such as glass substrate or resin substrate, for example in the purposes of the colour filter that forms LCD, can use glass substrates such as glass with lower alkali content, alkali-free glass, for example in the purposes of the electrode pattern of the front battery lead plate that forms PDP, can use high deformation point glass plate (Highstrain point glass).
In above-mentioned printing process, the printing ink 13 in the recess of intaglio plate 11 by shown in Fig. 1 (a), when making blanket 10 rotations, makes its surface contact with the surface of intaglio plate 11, and is transferred on the surface of blanket 10.
In addition, support,, when making blanket 10 rotations, its surface is contacted with the surface that is printed body 14, and carry out transfer printing, printing to the surface that is printed body 14 by shown in Fig. 1 (b) in the printing ink 13 on the surface of blanket 10.
In the above-mentioned printing process, after having passed through the printing process shown in Fig. 1 (a) and Fig. 1 (b), shown in Fig. 1 (c), carry out the suction operation.In this suction operation, utilize suction nozzle 15 to aspirate the solvent of the printing ink that blanket 10 absorbed.
Suction nozzle 15 is the pump units that are used to aspirate the solvent of the printing ink that blanket 10 absorbed, and comes the subtend configuration with the surperficial devices spaced apart L1 of blanket 10.
In addition, on suction nozzle 15,, be connected with not shown vavuum pump by aspiration 16.
By aspirate the air of the near surface of blanket 10 continuously with this suction nozzle 15, the near surface of blanket 10 becomes negative pressure state, and the solvent of printing ink is drawn out of to suction nozzle 15 from blanket 10.Consequently, can directly not contact, and do not heat the wellability that blanket surface is regulated on blanket 10 ground with blanket 10.
For the suction that utilizes suction nozzle 15, consider from the viewpoint of aspirating printing ink solvent effectively, preferably improve the suction degree as far as possible, promptly, preferably improve the vacuum of the near surface of blanket 10 as far as possible, yet on the other hand, when having served as the highland gas clean-up, have the situation that the surface rubber layer of blanket 10 deforms because of this suction.Based on this kind viewpoint, utilize that the suction of suction nozzle 15 is best preferably to reach the mode of 13.3~13300Pa so that the vacuum of the near surface of blanket 10 for example reaches 1.33~66500Pa, utilize the vavuum pump that connects by aspiration 16 to aspirate.
In addition, in order to aspirate the solvent of the printing ink that blanket 10 absorbed effectively, as mentioned above, preferably improve the suction degree as far as possible, promptly, improve the vacuum of the near surface of blanket 10 as far as possible, for gas clean-up like this, the interval L1 radially along blanket 10 of the surface of the shape of suction nozzle 15 and size (shape of peristome and size), blanket 10 and suction nozzle 15 just becomes very important.
More particularly, this suction nozzle 15 is elongated rectangular shape opening along the axis direction of blanket 10, and is set to axis direction length same widths with blanket 10 along the A/F (horizontal A/F) of the axis direction of blanket 10.
In addition, make slit separation along the circumferencial direction of blanket 10 (vertical A/F) when broadening, though can increase the area of suction, the suction degree can reduce.Based on this kind viewpoint, slit separation (vertical A/F) for example is set to 10 μ m~200mm, preferably is set to 50 μ m~100mm.When being narrower than 10 μ m, then Chou Xi area is very narrow when slit separation (vertical A/F), the time of overspending in the suction process of unit are, the reduction that produces printing efficiency.In addition,, then be difficult to improve suction degree, perhaps, the very high vavuum pump of suction capactity need be set, cause the cost rising in order to improve the suction degree when slit separation (vertical A/F) when being wider than 200mm.
In addition, from the viewpoint consideration that improves the suction degree, improves pumping efficiency, the interval L1 radially along blanket 10 between the surface of blanket 10 and the suction nozzle 15 is preferably narrow as far as possible, yet when making interval L1 narrow, then degree of suction raises sharp, thereby blanket 10 is arranged by parting, be sucked nozzle 15 suction and situation about sustaining damage.Based on this kind viewpoint, L1 for example is set to 30 μ m~200mm at interval, preferably is set to 50 μ m~100mm.As interval L1 during, then because the thickness of blanket 10 or the inequality of surface accuracy, perhaps because the runout the during rotation of blanket 10 etc. make the adjustment of suction degree become difficult less than 30 μ m.When the adjustment of suction degree becomes at need, on the surface of blanket 10, the part that the suction degree raises becomes big with the difference of the part that the suction degree reduces, the drying on the surface of blanket 10 is because of the difference of this suction degree heterogeneity that becomes on the whole, thus, removing in the operation thereafter, have and produce demoulding condition of poor.In addition, when interval L1 is wider than 200mm, then be difficult to improve the suction degree, perhaps, the very high vavuum pump of suction capactity need be set, cause cost to rise in order to improve the suction degree.
In addition, in the above-mentioned printing process, as handling arbitrarily, before absorbing the solvent of printing ink, from the surperficial blow gas of gas nozzle 17 to blanket 10 with suction nozzle 15.
Gas nozzle 17 is the blower unit to blanket 10 blow gas, with respect to suction nozzle 15, is arranged at the upstream side of the direction of rotation x of blanket 10, and comes the subtend setting with the surperficial devices spaced apart L2 of blanket 10.
Gas nozzle 17 is elongated rectangular shape opening along the axis direction of blanket 10, and is set to the width identical with the axis direction length of blanket 10 along the A/F (horizontal A/F) of the axis direction of blanket 10.In addition, for example be set to 3~1000 μ m, preferably be set to 30~300 μ m along the slit separation (vertical A/F) of the circumferencial direction of blanket 10.
In addition, the interval L2 radially along blanket 10 between the surface of blanket 10 and the gas nozzle 17 for example is set to 30 μ m~200mm, preferably is set to 50 μ m~100mm.
In addition, the circumferential interval L3 along blanket between gas nozzle 17 and the suction nozzle 15 for example is set to 10~300mm, preferably is set to 50~150mm.
And the above-mentioned suction that utilizes suction nozzle 15 is being carried out from gas nozzle 17 after the processing of the surperficial blow gas of blanket 10, for example in 5 seconds, preferably at 2 seconds with interior enforcement.In addition, the rotating speed of preferably considering to aspirate the blanket 10 in the operation of the circumferential interval L3 along blanket 10 between gas nozzle 17 and the suction nozzle 15 waits and sets.
In addition, on gas nozzle 17, be connected with gas supply pipe road 18, in the way on this gas supply pipe road 18, be folded with filters 19 such as membrane filter.
Though the gas that blows from gas nozzle 17 is not particularly limited, yet for example can use nitrogen etc.In addition, gas is preferably abundant drying, and then the filtration that is preferably by filter 19 is treated as clean gas.
In addition, gas for example both can be used as 5~15 ℃ cold wind and had blowed, and the warm wind that perhaps also can be used as 30~150 ℃ blows.If blow as cold wind, then can from the printing ink solvent of the near surface of blanket 10, capture heat of gasification, can easily evaporate printing ink solvent.In addition,, then can improve the temperature of printing ink solvent of the near surface of blanket 10, can easily evaporate printing ink solvent if blow as warm wind.Therefore, in the above-mentioned suction that utilizes suction nozzle 15, can realize the raising of pumping efficiency.And, when blowing warm wind, though the surface of blanket 10 also be heated, yet owing to be cooled in the suction of the suction nozzle of next carrying out 15, so the temperature on the surface of blanket 10 rises and is suppressed.
In addition, at first filter, be treated as clean gas, thereafter, be blown into the surface of blanket 10 continuously from gas nozzle 17 by filter 19 by gas supply pipe road 18 gas supplied.
Blowing as long as control with wind speed of gas for example can be set at 2~100m/s, is preferably set to 10~50m/s.When wind speed during less than 2m/s, then above-mentioned effect is less, in the suction process of next carrying out of utilizing suction nozzle 15, can't aspirate printing ink solvent effectively, in addition, when wind speed surpasses 100m/s, then can upset the air-flow on every side on the surface of blanket 10, dust is dispersed.
By carrying out above-mentioned suction operation, the time that is supported regardless of printing ink etc., the solvent of the printing ink that blanket 10 is absorbed all can be by dry equably.
Below, with reference to Fig. 2 (a)~Fig. 2 (d), other embodiment of printing process of the present invention and printing equipment is described in detail.
And Fig. 2 (a)~Fig. 2 (d) expression utilizes the printing process and the printing equipment of reversal printing mode.In addition, Fig. 2 (a) expression painting process and drying process, operation is removed in Fig. 2 (b) expression, and Fig. 2 (c) represents transfer printing process, Fig. 2 (d) expression suction operation.

For blanket 10, support film layer and surface rubber layer, can enumerate and above-mentioned material identical materials.
In addition, in this blanket 10, whole width on the surface of blanket 10, promptly the Zone Full of the axis direction of blanket 10 is set as printing zone.
In addition, when the surface of blanket 10 coating printing ink 13,, for example can shown in Fig. 2 (a), use slit-shaped chill coating machine 20 though be not particularly limited.
This slit-shaped chill coating machine 20 possesses the gap nozzle 21 that is used for supplying with to the surface of blanket 10 printing ink 13.
As printing ink 13, identical with above-mentioned material.
Gap nozzle 21 comes the subtend configuration with the surperficial devices spaced apart of blanket 10.This gap nozzle 21 is the nozzles that are used for to the surface of blanket 10 coating printing ink 13, and is elongated rectangular shape opening along the axis direction of blanket 10.
In the above-mentioned painting process, shown in Fig. 2 (a), supply with printing ink 13 by the gap nozzle 21 from slit-shaped chill coating machine 20 continuously to the surface of blanket 10, the whole width that spread all over the surface of blanket 10 form the coated face of printing ink 13 (Zone Full of axis direction length) continuously.
Then, in this printing process, shown in Fig. 2 (b), in removing operation, for example will utilize aforesaid operations and spread all over the surperficial blanket 10 that is coated with printing ink 13 full week equably, on as the embossing plate 22 of intaglio plate or relief printing plate, roll, and the coated face of printing ink 13 will be pushed to the protuberance 23 of embossing plate 22, the printing ink 13 of the part that will contact with this protuberance 223 is transferred on the protuberance 23 thus, and removes from the surface of blanket 10.
Embossing plate 22 is for example formed by metal (invar material) version, as with printing ink 2 is printed on to be printed body be the inversion pattern that the printed patterns on the substrate 14 reverses, be provided with protuberance 23.
In addition, in removing operation, by blanket 10 is rolled on embossing plate 22, the coated face that is formed on the lip-deep printing ink 13 of this blanket 10 is pushed to the protuberance 23 of embossing plate 22, and the printing ink 13 of the part that will contact with protuberance 23 is transferred on the protuberance 23, and removes from the surface of blanket 10.Like this, the coated face of printing ink 13 forms and should be printed the printed patterns (with reference to Fig. 2 (c)) that prints on the body 14.
Then, in this printing process, shown in Fig. 1 (c), in transfer printing process, will on the surface of blanket 10, not be removed and remaining printing ink 13 is transferred to and is printed on the body 14.
