Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for imaging a printing form cylinder in a printing press according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- an offset printing press which has an electronically controlled pixel transmission unit. This is designed, for example, as a thermal print head and, according to digital image information, removes substance parts from a continuously coated thermal transfer film and places them directly on the printing form cylinder.
- thermal print head - thermal transfer film - printing form cylinder spacing and contact fluctuations can occur if both the pin electrodes or heating elements of the thermal printing head and the surface of the printing form cylinder are rigid and inelastic.
- the surface of the printing form cylinder is made of aluminum. Even the smallest deviations in shape of one of the parts involved impair the effective contact pressure and thus the heat transfer, which is reflected in an unevenly transmitted print image or poorly anchored print image elements.
- a printing form is known from EP 0 264 604 A2, which is also coated by the thermal transfer process. Its surface is also made of aluminum, chrome, a metal oxide such as aluminum oxide, a ceramic material or a plastic. This surface is characterized by a high Print run resistance, but has the disadvantages mentioned above.
- FR 457 270 From FR 457 270 a method and an apparatus for the production of printing plates are known, which are used in machines for producing prints on rubber or other plastic materials. This machine has two cylinders that are in contact with each other and coated with a rubber layer. However, no device for substance application is provided on the cylinders, especially not by the thermal transfer method.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method in which the above disadvantages are avoided and even with relatively large manufacturing tolerances of the parts involved in the substance transfer, a uniform transfer is guaranteed.
- This object is achieved in that the substance is applied, at least in the alternative, to a soft surface of a cylinder of the offset printing press.
- This feature includes variants on the one hand the direct interaction of the pixel transfer unit with a printing form cylinder that has a soft surface and on the other hand the interposition of another cylinder with a soft surface - for example the blanket cylinder of an offset printing machine - from where in a second Transfer step the transfer to the printing form cylinder takes place.
- a three-cylinder printing unit of a web-fed offset printing press is shown schematically.
- a printing material web 3 is passed between a printing cylinder 1 and a blanket cylinder 2 during the printing process.
- the blanket cylinder 2 serves as a transfer cylinder for a print image generated by the surface of a printing form cylinder 4.
- the printing form cylinder 4 has an elastomeric surface with a preferably hydrophilic property.
- Acrylic ester rubber, nitrile rubber or modified polyvinyl chloride (PVC), for example, are suitable as materials for such a surface.
- a pixel transfer unit 5 which consists of a thermal print head 7 equipped with a plurality of heatable heating elements 6 or pen electrodes, one of which parallel to a surface line of the printing form cylinder 4 leading guide bar 8 and a control unit 9.
- the control unit 9 is connected via a signal line 10 to the thermal print head 7 which can be moved along the guide bar 8 and via a further signal line 11 to a preferably electronic image memory 12.
- a thermal transfer film 13 is arranged between the printing form cylinder 4 and the heating elements 6 of the thermal print head.
- the thermal transfer film 13 is continuously coated on its side facing the printing form cylinder 4 with a substance 14 which is meltable when supplied with energy and solid at room temperature and which preferably has oleophilic properties.
- a substance 14 which is meltable when supplied with energy and solid at room temperature and which preferably has oleophilic properties.
- wax or a thermoplastic material are suitable as substance 14.
- the thermal transfer film 13 is wound on a drum 17 and is used to image the printing form cylinder 4 together with the image transfer unit so far that it touches the surface of the same in one part.
- a further drum 18 is provided for winding up the part of the thermal transfer film 13 used in the imaging.
- the control unit 9 To transfer parts 14 a of the substance 14 to the printing form cylinder 4, the control unit 9 first reads image information digitally stored there for each pixel from the image memory 12 and activates one of the heating elements 6 of the thermal printhead depending on whether an image point is to transfer color or not 7.
- the heating elements 6 placed on the thermal transfer film 13 are acted upon with energy if a pixel is to be color-guiding.
- the energy can be generated directly as thermal energy in the heating elements or can be released in the case of training as pin electrodes by their interaction with a thermal transfer film formed from several layers of different electrical resistance according to the "resistive ribbon method".
- the substance parts 14 a melted by the action of energy are deposited on the surface of the printing form cylinder 4 and solidify there very quickly.
- the fact that the surface of the printing form cylinder 4 is provided with a soft layer means that the manufacturing accuracy of the print head and the guide bar as well as the printing form cylinder are not subject to excessive demands.
- the substance parts are transferred pixel by pixel line by line, when using several heating elements 6 (or pin electrodes) in several lines in parallel.
- the feed of the print head 7 and the further rotation of the printing form cylinder 4 after transmission of one (or more image line (s) generated in parallel) are also controlled by the control unit 9.
- both the printing form cylinder 4 or 15 and the blanket cylinder 2 or 2 'can advantageously be provided with a seamless surface.
- a print head that extends over the entire width of the printing form cylinder can also be used, which is either formed in one piece or is composed of several parts that are offset with respect to one another in the direction of travel of the transfer film.
