Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for controlling the ink application in a printing press according to the preamble of patent claim 1, a printing system suitable for carrying out the method according to the preamble of patent claim 14 and a measuring device intended to generate control data for such a printing system according to the preamble of patent claim 17.
  • control of the color guide is the most important way to influence the image impression. It takes place after visual assessment or on the basis of densitometric analyzes of color measuring fields that are also printed. An example of the latter control is described in OS 27 28 738
  • the present invention is intended to improve the control of the ink flow in printing machines to the effect that a higher degree of correspondence is achieved in the image impression between the proof or the proof set and the production run and the production run remains stable in the color impression or color changes are detected.
  • the essence of the present invention thus lies in the fact that the principle of densitometric color density measurement is abandoned and replaced by spectral color measurement, the spectral remissions of the measured test areas being determined and the control of the color guidance (at least during the set-up phase of the printing press) based on these spectral remissions or the derived colorimetric parameters and not based on density measurements.
  • the image impressions of sensitive, image-important points in the production run can be optimally matched to those of the proof or replacement, whereby to a certain extent color deviations due to different tonal value increases and other material and process influences are compensated for.
  • the color measurement itself can be carried out on printed color test fields or also at suitably selected locations (test areas) in the image.
  • the printing system shown in FIG. 1 essentially corresponds to the known systems of this type, for example the already mentioned system according to OS 27 28 738, apart from the differences according to the invention to be explained in accordance with the invention. Accordingly, the printing system shown comprises a measured value recording device 10, a control console 20 and a printing press 30 equipped with a remotely controllable ink guide.
  • printing sheets 40 generated by the printing press 30 are photoelectrically measured in a number of test areas, for example in selected locations of the printed image or in the area of color measurement fields 41 that are also printed, and control data 11 are determined from the measurement data obtained in this way, which are the color deviations of the correspond to printing inks involved in printing in the individual printing zones and printing units and are supplied as input variables to the control console 20.
  • the control console 20 generates control signals 21 from the control data 11, which adjust the ink guide elements of the printing press 30 in such a way that the color deviations are minimal.
  • the device 10 comprises a measuring head 101 which can be moved, for example by means of a stepping motor 102, relative to the printed sheet to be measured.
  • a handheld measuring head 103 is also provided, which is positioned manually on the desired test area of the printed sheet can be.
  • the two measuring heads 101 and 103 contain a measuring arrangement, not shown, which illuminates the test area to be measured, for example according to the usual standard, at 45 ° and collects the light remitted by the test area at 90 ° and couples it into a light guide 104, which feeds it to a spectrometer 105. (Of course, the remitted light can also be supplied to the spectrometer by other means.) There the remitted light is spectrally broken down and measured.
  • the measurement data obtained in this way are fed to a computer 106, which determines the control data 11 for the control console 20 from them in a manner still to be explained.
  • the computer 106 operates or controls a driver electronics 107 for the stepper motor 102 and the supply of the light sources in the measuring heads 101 and 103 and a data display device 108, a printer 109 and a keyboard 110, all essentially as in the known one Device.
  • the primarily relevant difference of the measured value acquisition device 10 shown for the invention compared to the known device mentioned is that it is set up for spectral color analysis of the test areas to be specifically measured and thus for colorimetric analysis, while the known device is only able to measure densitometric color densities , so no color measurement / colorimetry allowed.
  • the second essential difference is the evaluation of the photoelectric measurement data with regard to the control of the color guidance.
  • FIG. 3 shows the basic structure (known per se) of spectrometer 105.
  • the measuring light supplied via one of the measuring heads 101 and 103 via the fiber-optic light guide 104 (or directly) acts on a holographic grating 151 via an entry slit and is spatially split by the latter in order of wavelengths.
  • the so spectrally split light falls on a line-shaped arrangement of, for example, 35 photodiodes 152 in such a way that each photodiode is exposed to light of an individual, relatively narrow wavelength range.
  • the measurement signals generated by the 35 photodiodes thus correspond to the spectral intensity Distribution of the measuring light at 35 discrete support points (wavelength ranges).
  • an interface (interface) 153 is provided which amplifies and digitizes the measurement signals and thus brings them into a form which the computer 106 can understand.
  • the interface could of course also be arranged in the computer.
  • the measured value acquisition device 10, the control console 20 and the actual printing press 30 form a closed control loop.
  • the ink flow is regulated on the basis of densitometric density measurements of the printing inks involved. If there are deviations from the corresponding target density values, these are corrected by the control console by appropriate adjustment of the color guide elements, i.e. made zero or within the permissible tolerance range.
  • the color guide control is therefore color density controlled.
  • the principle of color density-controlled color guidance is abandoned and is substantially supplemented by a control based on spectral color measurement and colorimetry.
  • the spectral remissions are determined by spectral measurement and, if necessary, the color values of a selected color coordinate system are determined by conversion and compared with corresponding target remissions or target color values.
  • the color guidance is then controlled on the basis of the deviations in the spectral reflectances or the color values from the target values (“color distances”) and no longer on the basis of the deviations in the densitometric color densities.
  • the control is preferably carried out with the proviso that the result of the sum of the color differences of different test areas Total distance of a printing zone should be minimal, whereby each test area and its color distance can be considered with an individual weight if desired.
  • control according to color coordinates is described below. In principle, the same applies to the control according to spectral remissions.
  • the color coordinate system on which the color measurement is based is in itself arbitrary.
  • the L * a * b * system or the L * u * v * system of the CIE Commission Internationale de l'Éclairage
  • the color locus is understood to mean the coordinate triple (L * , a * , b * ) or (L * , u * , v * ), the color distance corresponds to the vector ⁇ E Lab or ⁇ E Luv or the individual vectors ( ⁇ L * , ⁇ a * , ⁇ b * ) or (AL * , Au *, ⁇ v *).
  • the target values of the color coordinates (target color locations) for the individual test areas can be entered into the measured value acquisition device 10 manually, for example, using the keyboard 110.
  • the same also applies to the color density setpoints required in connection with the superimposed density-dependent control to be described.
  • the entire control system is, according to the illustration, divided into the two components of the measurement value acquisition device 10 and control console 20 and the control signals 11 generated by the measurement value acquisition device 10 are of exactly the same type as in the known color density measurement systems, so that the invention Measured value acquisition device 10 can thus be connected directly to the known control console 20 mentioned and only the measured value acquisition device has to be replaced in order to convert a corresponding pressure system to the method according to the invention.
  • the control signals required to correct the color deviations directly from the color distances calculated by the data acquisition device without going through the compatible control signals and to summarize the necessary electrical circuits differently or to integrate them into a single device.
  • the division in two shown is therefore to be understood purely, for example, although it is also very practical.
  • the computer 110 forms the color distance vector AE for each test area.
  • Each of these vectors DE is now weighted with n n a weight factor g, so that each test area can therefore be taken into account individually.
  • Typical test areas will be given greater weight, less important ones a lesser one.
  • weighting factors can be e.g. can also be entered interactively or preprogrammed.
  • the weighted or, if necessary, also unweighted color distance vectors of individual measuring fields are mathematically each with a e.g. multiplied empirically determined transformation matrix, and if certain quality criteria are taken into account, this results in a color density change vector, the components of which are the density changes or the layer thickness changes of the printing inks involved in the printing, and thus the control data for the printing zone in question and such changes in the setting of the ink guide elements causes that the total color difference - determined as the sum of the amounts or the sum of the color difference squares of the individual color differences - becomes minimal. This total color difference can also serve as a quality measure for the print.
  • the elements of the transformation matrices essentially contain the partial derivatives of the color coordinates according to the color densities of the printing inks involved. They can be determined empirically by measurements on appropriate test prints or synthetically by modeling.
  • the density change vector has three components, and the calculation from the color distance vectors, which also have three components, is therefore relatively free of complications.
  • the contributions of the individual test areas must be logically assigned in a suitable manner to the individual components of the density change vector in such a way that a correspondingly multidimensional vector results.
  • control signals for the color guide elements can also be determined directly from the color differences. Again, the criterion that the total color difference must be minimized is expediently used as a basis.
  • the different weighting of the individual test areas can also be used here.
  • the printing process usually runs in three phases. First there is the more or less rough presetting of the printing press e.g. on the basis of measured values from the printing plates, then the so-called setup phase (adjustment, registering), in which the ink guide is fine-tuned in one way or the other until the print product is satisfied, and finally the production run, at which the regulation focuses on maintaining the result achieved in the establishment as constant as possible.
  • the reference or the like is not used as a reference, but rather the printed sheet which is found to be good, the so-called "O.K. sheet", and is regulated during production to constant densitometric color densities.
  • phase of density control in continuous printing can also be implemented very easily with the printing system according to the invention. All that is required is to convert the spectral reflectances into filter color densities (corresponding to densitometry) and to compare them with the target color density values determined by an O.K. sheet. The differences in color densities then directly represent the control data 11 for the control console 20.
  • the setting up of the printing press can be carried out in a color-gap-controlled manner as described further above and the production run can then be stabilized in a conventional manner in a color-density-controlled manner.
  • the color density determination can be based on any filter characteristics, which achieves a high degree of flexibility in such a system.
  • the two control principles can also be superimposed on one another. This means that the total color difference is also determined and monitored during the color density-controlled stabilization of the printing process. If the total color difference is due to any reason, e.g. due to changes in the printing process, such as rubber blanket contamination, etc., exceed a predetermined limit value, it is possible to react appropriately. For example, a new ink distance-controlled correction of the printing press can be initiated, in which case the ink density setpoints would then be adapted (updated) for the further stabilization of the printing press, or a corresponding error message can only or additionally be output.
  • the total color difference can be viewed as a quality measure and, if desired, displayed or printed out.
  • the screen tones should appear in different color and tonal value combinations or particularly critical tones. It is also possible to include critical tones from the subject in the measuring strips.
  • subjects can be divided into groups, e.g. Furniture catalogs - shades of brown determining quality -, cosmetic brochures and portraits - skin tones dominant.
  • groups e.g. Gray or green tones predominate.
  • special color-oriented color measuring strips can be built up and used in a targeted manner. The areas determining the image can thus be taken into account in a simple manner.
  • the inking is not always controlled zonally. In this case, it is sufficient to print one measuring field for each measuring field type and to adopt it as the target value for the entire printing sheet width or parts thereof.
  • Each zone can be monitored individually on the production sheet with zonal ink feed. Measuring fields that are important for color control, such as single-color measuring fields for density-controlled regulation of the color guide or multicolor raster fields for colorimetric control, must therefore be repeated at the smallest possible distance. Control fields for color acceptance, tone value increase etc. can be mounted at a slightly greater distance.
  • the printable color space is limited by the color locations of paper white, the single-color solid tones as well as the 2 and 3-color solid tone overlays (white, cyan, magenta, yellow, red, green, blue, black). All grid tones are within this color space.
  • color deviations cannot be compensated for in all colors at the same time, but an optimization of the mean color difference is possible. It is therefore appropriate, in addition to the fields for the color density-controlled control to use suitable 2 and / or 3-color grid fields such as gray balance fields or sensitive tones, depending on the subject, for the color distance-controlled color routing.
  • the blackening is created by 3 chromatic colors and / or black.
  • Grid fields with black and 2 or 3 chromatic colors can therefore also be of interest as measuring fields for color location-controlled control.
  • the color tones are advantageously chosen from critical areas of the color space.
  • 4-color grid fields a color must be predetermined as a free parameter or additionally measured on a separate color measuring field.
  • suitable color measurement areas can be determined for special colors according to analogous criteria.
