Definitions

  • Fadner and Hycner in U.S. Patent 4,537,127 and Fadner in U.S. Patent 4,603,634 have disclosed advantageous method and means wherein the surface of an ink metering roller will possess the dual property of being both hydrophobic and oleophilic, that is water-repelling and oil attracting. This dual property can be present whether the lithographic ink metering roller surface is formed with ink retaining dimensioned cells or is formed with a surface possessing irregularly spaced cavities capable of retaining ink.
  • Fadner, et al, prior art references also teach that even when consistent ink metering is assured by providing a metering roller surface that is both hydrophobic and oleophilic, the water contents of the ink films on the inking rollers may vary across the press width, depending upon the relative amounts of ink and water consumed in satisfying the format being printed.
  • To accomplish uniform ink availability across the press during a printing run it is necessary to assure that a constant ink composition is continuously available to all portions of the printing plate. Unless constant ink composition is available across the press width, the water content tends to increase in regions of low print density and undesirable print quality occurs.
  • Means for obtaining press wide uniformity of ink composition are disclosed in the Fadner, et al U.S. Patent 4,690,055.
  • hydrophilic regions are purposefully included in either a random or in geometrically uniform manner, such as the land areas of the celled metering roller disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,637,310 by Sato and Harada or as in the non-celled or smooth-surfaced metering roller disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,287,827 by Warner, it might be reasoned that predictability of ink metering will be achieved because any water interference due to debonding of ink from the hydrophilic regions would be in accord with the pattern selected when forming the hydrophilic regions.
  • the through-puts of water and ink across the press width and therefore the relative amounts of each required are determined by the image and non-image format on the printing plate being used at any given time.
  • Printing formats are not uniform generally and are rarely the same from press-run to press-run. Consequently, the extent of ink debonding by water when operating an apparatus utilizing the oleophilic and hydrophilic technology will depend upon the instantaneous amounts of water present in the ink at various locations on the metering roller. These locations correspond in turn to the various cross-press ink and water amounts required to print the format on the printing plate. The higher the water content in the ink at a hydrophilic/region, the greater will be the propensity for loss of ink carrying capability because of debonding of ink in the corresponding localized region. The result is variable ink input from press-run to press-run as the printed format is changed, with concomitant printed regions of unexpectedly low or unexpectedly high optical density.
  • Hard ceramic materials such as chromium and aluminum oxides and tungsten carbide are naturally high energy materials and correspondingly tend to be hydrophilic in the presence of water and tend to be oleophilic in the presence only of oily materials.
  • Metering rollers manufactured using these materials while often used successfully in conjunction with either water based inks or with oil based inks in letterpress printing, fail to deliver consistent quantities of ink during lithographic printing utilizing oil-based inks having water present.
  • the extent of ink delivery inconsistency is determined by whether water present in the ink has displaced or debonded ink from the roller's ceramic surface. As previously noted, the extent of debonding depends upon the water content of the ink at any selected cross-press location, which water content in turn depends upon the format being printed.
  • Fadner U.S. Patent 4,601,242 discloses one means to use the advantageously hard and wear-resistant ceramic property to obtain reasonably long lithographic ink metering roller lifetimes.
  • ceramic powder, and in particular alumina is flame sprayed in a purposefully thin layer of less than about 50.8 ⁇ m (2 mils) thickness over a copper-plated metering roller base. Copper is naturally hydrophobic and oleophilic. This procedure results in a hard, wear-resistant surface that has sufficient inter-particle porosity relative to ink and water interactions that the surface acts as if it was copper, therefore retaining ink in preference to water, yet simultaneously acts as a wear-resistant ceramic material relative to scraping blade wearing action.
  • this type of roll has a lifetime on a printing press of about 20 to 30 million printing impressions, because the ceramic layer must be kept relatively thin to assure that the oleophilic property of the underlying copper is not negated by the hydrophilic properties exhibited by the ceramic layer. Further, the ceramic layer, which is naturally hydrophilic, may become increasing hydrophilic due to accumulation of contaminants associated with use and cleaning of printing presses.
  • a primary object of this invention is to provide a simple, inexpensive ink metering roller that ensures long operational lifetimes in keyless lithographic printing press systems where the presence of water in the ink is involved.
  • An additional object of this invention is to provide a process for producing an ink metering roll having a micro-porous wear-resistant surface layer that is infused with a chemically inert substantially organic material that is oleophilic and hydrophobic.
  • Still another object of this invention is to provide means whereby hard and wear-resistant but naturally hydrophilic ceramic materials can be used as part of a composite layer that has hydrophobic and oleophilic properties without detracting from their naturally excellent wear-resistant quality.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide an improved inking roller having a composite structure that combines high degrees of wear resistance with a preferential attraction for and retention of oil inks in the presence of water.
  • an ink metering roller for use in keyless printing utilizing an oil based ink and water mixture as the print forming medium comprising:
  • the invention comprises an inking system for use in printing utilizing an oil based ink and water mixture as the print forming medium comprising a plurality of coating inking rollers, one of said inking rollers being an ink metering roller comprising:
  • This invention relates to an improved ink metering roll for metering ink in modern, high-speed lithographic printing press systems, and to an inking system wherein keyless means are provided to simplify the inking system and to simplify the degree of operator control or attention required during operation of the printing press.
  • a press using a keyless inking system will comprise an ink reservoir or sump 10, a pump 11 and piping 12 interconnecting an ink pan 13, within which a metering roller 13' is located, to supply ink to a frictionally driven ink transfer roller 15.
  • a reverse angle scraping or metering blade 16 operates against the metering roller 13' to remove all of the ink on the metering roller 13' except that in cells, when present.
  • Ink from transfer roller 15 is passed onto a substantially smooth inking drum 20 where it is combined with water supplied from dampener 21.
  • Dampening fluid can be supplied by any appropriate means, either to the ink roll 20 as shown or directly to the plate roll 25, as indicated by the phantom lines at 26.
  • the scraping blade 16 (or other ink removal means) operating against the metering roll 13' is present to continuously remove substantially all of the excess ink film therefrom. All of the aforesaid elements function to supply a uniform film of ink to the printing plate 28 mounted on press driven plate cylinder 25. The plate on cylinder 25 in turn supplies ink in the form of an image, for example, to a paper web 30 being fed through the printing nip formed by the coacting blanket cylinder 31 and impression cylinder 32. All of the rollers in Figs. 1 and 2 are configured substantially axially parallel.
  • the amount of ink reaching the printing plate may be controlled by the dimensions of depressions or of ink receiving cells formed in the surface of the ink metering roller in conjunction with a coextensive scraping or doctor blade that continuously removes virtually all of the ink from the celled metering roller except that carried in the cells or recesses.
  • the ink metering roller is composed of a steel or aluminum or comparable core material of suitable strength, length and diameter that is suitably coated with a relatively thick wear-resistant ceramic material. While the roll surface need not be engraved in all instances laser engraving can be used to form accurately dimensioned and positioned cells or recesses, which cells together with a scraping doctor blade serve to precisely meter a required volume of ink.
  • the ceramic materials are infused with highly fluid dilute solutions or suspensions of chemically inert or non-reactive organic materials that exhibit hydrophobic and oleophilic properties. The organic substances remain in the interstices of the ceramic matrix after the fluid carrier is removed by evaporation, for example.
  • Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of one form of this invention in which the base roller used to produce metering roller 14 is engraved before application of the ceramic coating indicated by numeral 35.
  • the celled metering roller 13' illustrated in the drawings may be, as previously mentioned, mechanically-engraved and then coated or may be first coated and then laser-engraved to form patterned cells of depressions in the coated surface of the roller.
  • the volume and frequency of the depressions are selected based on the volume of ink required to meet the printed optical density specifications and in accordance with known practices.
  • the roller may have a nominally smooth face with the hard, oleophilic and hydrophobic surface properties added as herein described.
  • Roller 13' is employed typically together with a scraping or doctoring blade 16 to meter the input of ink into the press system.
  • Roller 20 may instead be typically employed as the metering roller in a position closer to the printing plate and function together with a scraping blade (not shown) that removes from the printing system virtually all of used return ink that exists at that location.
  • Rollers 13' and 15 are then not needed.
  • the return film of ink that is the unused portion of the input ink, is continuously scraped off and led to sump 10 for subsequent continuous recirculation by pump 11 back to the celled metering roller 13'.
  • Many of these keyless lithography press operational elements are described in more detail in Fadner, et al U.S. Patent 4,690,055.
  • hydrophilic or water-loving surfaces such as ceramic materials are, in the absence of water, oleophilic or oil loving.
  • the ink When fresh, unused, water-free lithographic ink is applied to a ceramic, the ink initially exhibits good adhesion to and wetting of the roller surface. Under these initial conditions, normal ink-metering performance is observed.
  • a condition is reached where a combination of roller nip pressure and increasing water content in the ink force water through the ink layer to the ceramic metering roller surface. By adhering preferentially to the rollers' surface, the water debonds the ink from that surface, thereby disallowing subsequent pickup of ink from the ink input means.
  • a steel or aluminum or other suitable roller may be mechanically engraved in patterns similar for instance to those shown in Fig. 2, then flame-spray ceramic coated to the maximum thickness that substantially retains the cell structure originally present in the core's surface, about 127 to 203.2 ⁇ m (5 to 8 mils).
  • the roller can be given a hard anodizing treatment to form the ceramic-like layer in situ.
  • the deposition process normally requires repeated thin-application passes of the ceramic coating apparatus, and may be followed by infusion with a selected organic substance, as elsewhere described herein.
  • the roller core is similarly mechanically engraved, then one-pass flame-spray coated with a thin film of ceramic powder to a coating thickness typically less than about 2.54 to 5.08 ⁇ m (0.1 to 0.2 mil), the infused with the organic oleophilic and hydrophobic material, then given another ceramic coating pass, then another infusion treatment and so on until the desired 127 to 203.2 ⁇ m (5 to 8 mil) thick ceramic coating is built-up by successive coating and infusion treatments.
  • the desired microporous layer can be obtained also by subjecting a steel or aluminum roller core to a multiple-pass flame-spray coating with the selected ceramic particles to build up a thick, from 76.2 to about 254 ⁇ m (3 to about 10 mil) or more coating.
  • This coating such as indicated by numeral 40 in Figs. 4 and 5, is then laser engraved to create cell patterns 41 for instance as depicted in Fig. 3, after which the organic oleophilic and hydrophobic material is infused into the ceramic surface.
  • the same sort of structure can be obtained where the organic oleophilic and hydrophobic material is applied after each flame-spray coating pass in a series of about 6 to 20 or so sequences, to achieve the desired organic/ceramic coating thickness which exhibits oleophilic and hydrophobic properties, then laser engraved to create the required ink carrying capacity.
  • oleophilic-hydrophobic materials can be used. These materials are generally dissolvable solids and are liquids that can therefore be applied by mist, spray, dip or other well known application methods.
  • One primary objective in applying the oleophilic and hydrophobic material is to render as much as possible of the microporous ceramic powder coating surfaces oleophilic and hydrophobic by penetration of the oleophilic and hydrophobic organic material as deep into the ceramic coating as possible.
  • Highly mobile liquid systems are preferred.
  • Simple spray-painting techniques are appropriate as are dip-coating with roller rotation. Dilute solutions of the oleophilic and hydrophobic organic material in solvents that allow seconds to minutes open-time will help to provide penetration deep into the interstices of the ceramic coating.
  • the oleophilic and hydrophobic material must be rendered essentially immobile and firmly adhered to or entrapped within the ceramic powder coating's voids and surfaces.
  • the objects of this invention are achieved through the infusion of selected materials that are chemically inert, with respect to the ceramic and with respect to themselves. Generally, these will be long chain hydrocarbons or substantially hydrocarbon polymeric materials having chemically non-reactive groups incorporated thereto.
  • Materials which fulfill the requirements are, for example the non-reactive varieties of: (a) poly (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene); (b) poly (acrylic styrene acrylonitrile); (c) polyethylene; (d) polypropylene; (e) poly (styrene acrylonitrile); (f) polystyrenes; (g) polyphenyl sulfides; (h) poly (phenylene ether phenyl oxide; (i) polybutadiene; and (j) polybutenes.
  • Other useful oleophilic and hydrophobic materials of these classes will be apparent to those skilled in the chemical and polymeric sciences and based on the elements of this invention herein disclosed.
  • Fig. 6 of the drawings illustrates the manner in which the oleophilic and hydrophobic material is located in the interstitial voids formed by the ceramic coating.
  • numeral 50 indicates generally the composite wear resistant layer
  • numeral 51 identifies the particles of ceramic material
  • numeral 52 the infused oleophilic and hydrophobic organic material.
  • the entire interconnecting network of voids formed by the deposited ceramic layer be infused substantially completely throughout the volume of the layer.
  • oleophilic and hydrophobic roller materials that are suitable to the practice of this invention, the important criterion for the resulting roller's use as a lithographic inking roller can be more-or-less predicted by measuring the degree to which droplets of ink oil and of water will spontaneously spread out on the surface of the infused roller.
  • the sessile drop technique as described in standard surface chemistry textbooks is suitable for measuring this quality.
  • oleophilic and hydrophobic roller materials will have an ink oil (Flint Ink Co.) contact angle of nearly 0° and a distilled water contact angle of about 90° or higher and these values serve to define an oleophilic and hydrophobic material.
