Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method and an apparatus for producing glossy printed matter. More particularly, it relates to such a method and apparatus wherein a web-fed printing paper or printed matter is coated with a coating agent for roll press working and subject to hot roll press working while in the state of a web.
  • a packaging container such as a carton for a gift
  • contents such as an electrical appliance or detergent
  • the printed matter used for this purpose is therefore required to possess a high degree of gloss, rub-resistance, water-resistance and resistance to con­tamination.
  • the same characteristics are also required of posters, calendars, the cover pages of books and shopping bags.
  • a cast-coated paper is obtained by coating paper supplied by a paper manufacturer, with a coating agent containing a large amount of clay, and contacting the coated layer with the cast surface of a drum plated with chromium. Since this cast-coated paper contains a large amount of clay, it is heavy and hard, lacking in folding endurance. Moreover, it has poor water resistance and inferior rub-resistance, because it is intended to be employed in printing following the casting operation.
  • the method of applying over-varnishes while being effective to a limited extent in improving the gloss, is not able to fully meet the high demand in the market for glossy products of high quality and a finely decorative appearance.
  • UV curable over-varnishes in which UV rays are employed as the drying means, exhibits excellent gloss characteristics but is unsatisfactory in providing a mirror surface finish and assumes a hard film upon curing, as well as low folding endurance. Moreover, this method presents problems in cost terms since a special drying device is necessitated and the UV varnish itself is expensive.
  • Another known technique is to apply a resin solution on the printed matter and to apply, after drying, a direct pressure press or an endless pressure press using stainless belt (so-called endless press) with the aid of a mirror surface of the belt.
  • a high gloss can be obtained by the technique since the resin film which is dried after application is heat-melted and smoothed by the mirror surface, but the direct presssure press method does not lend itself to high productivity because the press working has to be performed individually for each sheet.
  • the endless press method offers improved productivity as compared with the direct pressure press method because it is formed of endless belt of, for example, stainless steel, and is adapted to allow continuous insertion of printed sheets, one by one, the latter needs to be peeled manually off the belt surface, because the peeling or release action is based on the stiffness of the sheet itself.
  • This method cannot be employed with sheets having a weight of up to 100 g/m2, since the peeling or release action cannot then be achieved smoothly, even when the paper sheet itself is endowed with a certain degree of stiffness.
  • Suitable printing materials that may be employed in practicing the present invention include coat board paper, K-liner, jute liner, art paper, coat paper and machine glazed paper.
  • paper having a specific weight of not more than 100 g/m2 be used since such paper is superior in dimensional stability, with respect to the heat employed for roll press working, surface smoothness and homogeneity.
  • any of the conventional printing methods may be employed, such as offset, gravure or flexographic printing.
  • the printing method is limited to those in which the printing is performed on a printing material in the web state.
  • the printing ink may be of the oil-based, solvent-based or water-based types in accordance with the particular printing method employed.
  • the printed matter obtained by offset (web-offset) printing, gravure printing or flexographic printing is coated with a coating agent for roll press working after the completion of the printing process.
  • the coating agent for roll press working As for the coating of the coating agent for roll press working, the coating agent for roll press working as recited hereinbelow is applied to the web-fed printed matter on which printing has been performed, as described above, by relying upon one of various methods, such as roll coating, air knife coating, curtain coating or spray coating. Gravure printing or flexographic printing machines may also be employed as coating means. In this coating process, the coated agent is dried and taken up when the coating process is performed independently of the printing process. However, the coating may be performed as a con­tinuation of the printing process depending on the type of printer used in the printing process and associated devices.
  • a redundant printing unit when there is a redundant printing unit not being used for printing in a multicolor gravure or flexographic printing press, they may be used in the coating machine for roll press working coating agents, whereby printing and coating may be performed continuously.
  • a coating device connected in the processing line thereof may be used for the coating.
  • a variety of conventional coating agents for press working that are employed in press working methods for direct press working or press working methods employing endless belts may be utilized as the coating agent for the roll press working applied to the printed matter.
  • water-based type coating agents are most preferred from the viewpoint of minimizing fire risk.
  • a resin solution of a vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate type resin may be employed.
  • a coating agent composition consisting essentially of an aqueous resin dispersion having a glass transition temperature (Tg) ranging from 60° to 130°C may be employed.
  • the aqueous resin dispersion with a specific glass transition temperature employed in the aqueous coating agent for roll press working may be obtained by setting the ratio of polymerization of each vinyl monomer, recited hereinbelow, on the basis of the well-known approximate formula, taking account of the glass transition temperature of the homopolymer of the vinyl monomers.
  • An aqueous resin dispersion having the targeted glass transition temperature Tg may also be obtained from a so-called polymer blend which is a mixture of an aqueous resin dispersion consisting of a polymer with a higher Tg and a polymer with a lower Tg.
  • the following vinyl monomers may be employed for preparing the aqueous resin dispersion pertaining to the present invention.
  • Vinyl monomers which will give a homopolymer with a higher Tg include, for example, acrylic vinyl monomers, such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, methyl methacrylate or ethyl methacrylate, and styrenic vinyl monomers such as styrene or ⁇ -methyl styrene.
  • Vinyl monomers with a lower Tg include, for example, alkyl esters of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid apart from the above methyl or ethyl methacrylate, alkyl esters having straight-chain or having side chain, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, s-butyl, t-butyl, hexyl, 2-ethyl hexyl, decyl or lauryl.
  • alkyl esters of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid apart from the above methyl or ethyl methacrylate alkyl esters having straight-chain or having side chain, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, s-butyl, t-butyl, hexyl, 2-ethyl hexyl, decyl or lauryl.
  • Vinyl monomers other than the above monomers may also be copolymerized, such as alkyl esters of unsaturated monocarboxylic acids, for example, crotonic acid, ⁇ , ⁇ -­unsaturated dicarboxylic acids, for example, itaconic acid, fumaric acid or maleic acid, amide derivatives of acrylic acid containing at least one N-substituted methylol group, such as N-methylol acrylamide or N-butoxymethyl acryl amide, mono- or diesters of acrylic or methacrylic acid of glycols such as ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol or dipropylene glycol, monomers of glycidyl ethers of acrylic or methacrylic acid, acrylonitrile, vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate or vinylidene chloride.

  • hydrophilic catalysts such as ammonium persulfate, potassium persulfate or aqueous hydrogen peroxide, or Redox catalysts.
  • An emulsifying agent may be employed, if desired.
  • a mixture of vinyl monomers may be copolymerized in the emulsified state in the presence of anionic or nonionic surfactants to provide an emulsifying agent.
  • anionic or nonionic surfactants to provide an emulsifying agent.
  • the use of low molecular weight surfactants occasionally affects the water-resistance of the coating formed, so that high molecular weight anionic surfactants are most preferred as emulsifying agents in cases where water-resistance is required.

  • the alkalis employed for solubilizing in water the alkali-soluble resins may include ammonia or organic amines, such as triethanol amine or monoethanol amine. Highly volatile alkalis are most preferred from the viewpoint of facilitating drying of the water-soluble resins.
  • the glass transition temperature of the aqueous resin dispersion being lower than 60°C, a reduction in glossiness or blocking will result. With a Tg higher than 130°C, the collapsibility of the coating film is insufficient at the time of roll press working, so that the desired degree of high gloss cannot be achieved.

  • a central core liner and a back liner were bonded together by means of a corrugating machine with a front liner coated with a conventional coating agent for roll press working. It was found that such coated film on a corrugated sheet will be re-softened at a bonding temper­ature of 160 to 190°C and the gloss will thus deteriorate, or the re-softened resin will undergo hot-plate or corru­gated sheet contamination which will lead to a lowering of the commercial value of the printed products.
