Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a printing press with an erasable printing form, a method for imaging the printing form with a printed image deposit and a method for removing the printed image deposit from the printing form.
  • the printed image deposit is removed by a heating process which is also known per se, this requires the printing form to be removed from the printing unit and heated in an oven at a suitable temperature for a certain time in order to remove the printed image deposit.
  • a heating process is not suitable for executing it within the printing unit because the application of a heating jacket or a similar device is necessary in order to liquefy the print image deposit and to remove it from the printing form.
  • a printing press with an imageable printing form clamped on a forme cylinder is known.
  • a print image deposit is sprayed onto the printing form from nozzles of a print head.
  • the printing form can also be deleted.
  • laminate or layered sheets are known which are produced in an impregnation or hot-pressing process and are then imaged under heat by a carrier, for example a cotton or silk ribbon, as used in typewriters. High-frequency fields are used for heating.
  • the figure shows a device that is used to apply a print deposit 2 to the surface of a printing form 1 by melting and then to remove the print deposit from the printing form 1 again.
  • the printing form 1 carries the printed image deposit 2 on its outer surface, while it is itself applied to the outer surface of a rotatable forme cylinder 3.
  • a curved electrode 4, which belongs to a high-frequency induction heater 5, is arranged in the vicinity of the printing form 1, its distance from the printing form 1 can be changed. If energy is supplied to the high-frequency induction heater 5, voltage is also present at the electrode 4.
  • the forme cylinder 3 serves as the counter electrode. If the printing form consists of a metal, the forme cylinder 3 is preferably conductively connected to it.
  • the forme cylinder 3 is preferably at ground potential.
  • the printing form 1 can also consist of a non-conductive material, for example ceramic.
  • the printed image deposit 2 can preferably be sprayed onto the printing form 1 from one nozzle or from a plurality of nozzles, for example arranged side by side.
  • a liquid medium sprayable through the nozzle or nozzles contains volatile components, as will be described below.
  • the melting and the removal of the printed image deposit 2 are independent of the method by which the liquid medium was applied beforehand, and that these methods can also be used in connection with electrostatographic methods for producing a print template.
  • a hydrophobic precipitate 2 is applied; if it has a hydrophobic surface, a hydrophilic printed image deposit 2 is applied.
  • the electrode 4 of the high-frequency induction heater 5 is circular-arc-shaped and is at a certain distance from the printing form 1.
  • the frequency and the operating time of the induction heater 5 more or less superficial heating can be achieved of the lithographic printing plate 1 in order to effectively heat the printed image deposit 2 on its surface from the inside out.
  • the print image deposit 2 is melted on the surface of the printing form 1 before it becomes internally coherent. This avoids the formation of bridges within the printed image deposit 2, which could lead to its premature destruction during the printing process.
  • the liquid medium which can be sprayed on from the nozzle or the nozzles to form the print image precipitate 2 is composed, for example, as follows: Styrene maleic anhydride 12 g ammonia 5 g Bactericide 2 g dye 2 g Diethylene glycol diethyl ether 30 g water 949 g
  • styrene maleic anhydride is the heat-fusible component.
  • Styrene maleic anhydride is soluble in an aqueous alkaline medium.
  • the dye is used only to produce a visually visible print image deposit 2. It is not necessarily part of the liquid medium.
  • the bactericide and the diethylene glycol diethyl ether are only relevant for the application through the nozzle and are of no importance for the resulting print image precipitation 2.
  • the printing form 1 is, for example, an aluminum plate with a granular surface, which is attached to the form cylinder 3.
  • the resulting printed image precipitate 2 is now solidified by melting on the surface of the printing form 1 by means of the induction heater 5, the induction heater 5 being able to be operated at variable frequencies in the kHz range.
  • the electrode 4, to which the voltage is applied is located, for example, at a distance of 6 mm. Since the electrode 4, for example, does not cover the entire width of the surface of the printing form 1, it is moved parallel to the longitudinal axis of the form cylinder 3, for example at a speed of 0.5 cm / s by a stepping motor 6. At a frequency of 140 kHz, the power is 1.5 kW.
  • the forme cylinder 3 rotates accordingly, so that the electrode 4 passes over the forme cylinder 3 again in the next step parallel to its longitudinal axis in the other direction.
  • the printed image deposit 2 is melted on the entire surface of the printing form 1. If, as shown in the figure, the electrode 4 extends, for example, over a quarter of the circular section of the forme cylinder 3, the forme cylinder 3 needs to be rotated three times more, for a quarter of its circumference, in order to deposit the printing forme 1 over its entire surface with a constant print image to provide.
  • the print image deposit 2 is to be removed again. After removing excess ink, a reflow process is carried out again.
  • the distance between the surface of the printing form 1 and the electrode 4 is chosen to be smaller than when the print image precipitate 2 solidifies. In this case it is, for example, 4 mm in order to remove the print image deposit 2 and to prepare the printing form 1 for the next imaging process.
  • the energy supply per unit of time is used to detach the print image precipitate 2 1.6 kW increased while the frequency is 150 kHz.
  • the distances between the electrode 4 when applying and when removing the printed image deposit 2 are chosen to be the same.
  • An electrode in the form of a circular arc is again used as the electrode 4.
  • a flat electrode which has only a slight extension in the circumferential direction of the forme cylinder 3 and extends over the entire length of the lateral surface. It is at a distance of 5 mm from the surface of the printing form 1. With an energy supply of 3 kW per time unit and a frequency of 150 kHz, the printed image deposit 2 is melted. The forme cylinder 3 is rotated at a speed of 1 cm / s when applying and at a speed of 0.5 cm / s when removing the print image deposit 2. In this case, the stepper motor 6 is not required.
  • the distance between the electrode 4 and the printing form 1 can be adapted accordingly in accordance with the desired heating depth of the heating into the interior of the printing form 1 starting from the electrode 4; the frequencies and the energy supply can also be adapted in accordance with the various printing forms 1 that can be used. For example, cleaning of the printing form 1, which in any case requires more energy than the application of the printed image deposit 2 on it, can be carried out at a higher frequency than the application of the printed image deposit 2.
  • the invention can also be used when the printing form 1 is not applied to the form cylinder 3.
