Description
Technical field
The utility model relates to the flexographic printing technical field, relates in particular to a kind of main exposure equipment for flexible printing plate plate-making.
Background technology
Flexographic printing is a kind of printing process, and it uses the elastic relief image in rubber forme or photopolymer forme to print goods such as carton, sack, label or books.Have been found that flexographic printing has special application in packaging industry, flexographic printing has replaced photogravure and lithographic plate offset printing in many cases in the sector.
In print field, form the method for above-mentioned camegraph normally, to have the mask layer of setting pattern covers on the unexposed galley base substrate that contains photosensitive elastic body (or being referred to as photosensitive layer), use the black masks layer on the laser ablation photosensitive layer and it is evaporated, on mask layer, picture and text partly become transparent zone; By actinic radiation (being generally ultraviolet radiation) exposure galley base substrate bottom surface, in photosensitive layer, the decomposition of initiator of bottom part becomes free radical afterwards, causes crosslinkable monomers and reacts and solidify, to set up firm flexographic plate base; The galley of exposing simultaneously base substrate front, the zone that mask layer is transparent sees through ultraviolet light, and in photosensitive layer, the decomposition of initiator on upper strata becomes free radical, causes crosslinkable monomers and reacts and solidify.See through ultraviolet zone cross-linking reaction can not occur, utilize the difference of their solubleness in platemaking, after the aftertreatment such as wash version and dry, go to glue, obtain containing the embossment forme of character pattern.And in this field, a kind ofly form the above-mentioned mode of mask layer with transparent region and be: at first use laser emission (being generally by computer-controlled infrared radiation) that described element imaging is exposed, optionally to remove the mask layer in exposure area, then use actinic radiation (UV radiation usually) by described element blanket exposure, so that the photosensitive layer in transparent region solidifies.
In technique scheme, main exposure time length and exposure intensity are mainly determined by galley blank of material, specification and embossing pattern shape.Main exposure time length and exposure intensity are single parameter, can not adjust; Too short or the too low meeting of exposure intensity of time shutter makes the picture and text gradient too straight, and lines are crooked, dot loss, and small character, point part are washed off; Otherwise the long or too high meeting of exposure intensity of time shutter causes the negative literary composition more shallow, produce and apply version, the phenomenon such as the handwriting is blurred.
In digital plate-making method described above, mask and exposure, can be referring to Fig. 3 in conjunction with usually producing the burr site of truncated cone-shaped, and it is the form of site in ideal.But because oxygen plays free radical scavenger, the oxygen molecule that curing reaction can be dissolved in photosensitive layer (being generally resin combination) suppresses, and can produce situation as shown in Figure 4 in this case, and the outer peripheral portion of site is etched and causes site to dwindle.In the prior art, avoid as far as possible the method that oxygen corrodes to mainly contain following two kinds:
A kind of is after exposure, washes before version a dissolved oxygen concentration that reduces photosensitive layer, element is placed in to inert gas atmosphere (as carbon dioxide or nitrogen) and replaces the oxygen of dissolving and complete.The shortcoming of this method is troublesome poeration, and inconvenience and needs are for the large-scale confined space of place apparatus.
Another kind of known method is galley to be carried out to the pre-exposure of actinic radiation.Use LED light source high-power, the short time to expose to the mask layer with transparent region and photosensitive layer composite component, on the photosensitive layer surface, form a thin cured layer, it has obviously reduced the concentration of dissolved oxygen DO in photosensitive layer, thereby helps minutiae (as adding bright spot, fine rule, isolated point etc.) to be retained in final galley.Yet, this two steps that main exposure is divided into to pre-exposure+main exposure are sent out the complexity that technique has improved equipment, and because the light intensity of pre-exposure is consistent with the time shutter on the full width face, the oxygen etching effect difference that this has also caused at bulk image-text area and tiny image-text area, also just caused the forme of bulk image-text area and tiny image-text area still to have slight difference.
