DE3327843A1 - Gravure/offset printing plate - Google Patents

Abstract

In a novel reproduction technique developed under the name "cut art graphics" along with the necessary gravure/offset printing plate and intended for producing pictorial works of art in small print runs, a 2-3 mm thick, manually or technologically as a screen, fairly soft plastic plate is provided with various types of incisions 0.1 to 0.5 mm deep which hold and guide the ink. Paste-consistency transfer ink is applied, manually or technologically, as a reverse image to said plate, and illustrated, drawn, dotted or printed on. The choice of motif is optional or reproduced beforehand. The impression produced by the ink-coated plate is screen-free for the purpose of half-tone printing or grainless for the purpose of collotype. The technology as a whole is that of oscillating-roller printing. The ink is removed, manually or technologically, from the screen incisions by pressure (gravure printing) and the ink in the flat interstices (offset printing) is simultaneously transferred to the printing base. When made manually, the finished cut art graphics are originals. Reproductions which are made technologically and are screen-free or grainless have the effect of originals. Technologically, the use of modern reproduction technology up to plate ink application and ink transfer also result in originally textured effects. The gravure/offset printing plate can be used for rational and irrational duplication of cut art graphics or similar reproductions.

Description

Description of the procedure A 2-3 mi thick, softer plastic sheet (e.g. no plexiglass) in the size up to 50 x 60 approx is replaced by 0.1 to 0.5 mn deep cuts, as geonetrical or other line patterns, for the application of paint prepared and, with appropriate care, can always be used for a long time and often will. Pastose, i.e. more solid color in sticks (e.g. that of the 'edding grafik painter 650 ", other oil crayons or crayons or pens, acrylic paints, partly also impasto Tube oil paints, is applied to the plate the wrong way round (illustrated- drawn - spotted).

The material to be printed (e.g. offset cardboard; drawing cardboard) in Thicknesses from approx. 120 g / qx or 1/10 mi to approx. 3 u, comes in the same sizes on the System markings (pencil crosses, points, or angles) positioned. With one Flat bone or bone bone is caused by pressure and rubbing movements (frottage) the back of the cardboard or protective sheet in the cut grooves (gravure printing = Supferstich / Etching e.g.) and on the plate, between the cutting grooves (flat printing but no offset printing) existing color on the front (image side) of the box e.g. transferred, by nanual friction pressure, (or other technical processes).

Each manual rub leaves 1, 2 or 3 color applications in the transfer to, in one operation. One color when larger areas are transferred onto / must, 3 colors, if only smaller areas are to be rubbed off. Depending on the thickness of the color application, 1 to 5 partial print runs are possible. With one edition of 10 pictures, the color has to be reapplied after 3 to 5 prints it appears equally strong. All the printed colors together make up the finished one Original image, a mixing of the colors with each other can be done manually on the plate happen. The process is suitable for small editions that need to be quickly reproduced as original works of art in limited amounts or as machine reproductions. In the manual production, as with the stone printing (lithography / Senefelder) the image on the intaglio printing plate erased after the edition printing.

Claims (5)

Patent claim The following wording is used to denote protection as a patent applied for: The new reproduction process developed under the name "cut art graphics", with the necessary "gravure-flat printing plate" for the gravure-flat printing " in one print run from a gravure planographic printing plate ". In detail: 1. The intaglio printing plate itself as an ink carrier, made of any material and / or substance. 2. Any technique of making and using gravure plates. 3. Any printing process using gravure planographic printing plates. 4. Any coating other than manual, as a technique on / in them Gravure flat printing plates such as light-sensitive or chemical coatings, the transfer of paint through paint capsules or separate paint carriers, paint deflectors and / or methods similar to screen printing and screen printing. 5. The tangible ones that can be achieved with these plates in every type of pressure Color effects. Examples A The intaglio printing plate is suitable for originals Hand rubs (frottages) for the production of original "cut art graphics" in Small runs of 1 to 10 pieces e.g. up to a size of approx. 50 x 60 cm, which are individually signed, dated and numbered are to be considered original graphics. You will be in; our own artist workshop, the studio. B The gravure flat printing plate can also be color coated directly using screen printing and then again make copies directly from the plate, which are then no longer originals, also in the event that they are signed, dated and numbered. Because they are from another hand and also and / or outside the artist's workshop. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
