Definitions

  • One way of transferring information to a printing plate or cylinder suitable for offset printing is to transfer electronically stored information, such as texts or images, directly.
  • electronically stored information such as texts or images
  • organic substances influencing the color guidance are applied to parts of the printing form surface by means of a pixel transfer unit in accordance with digital image information.
  • the applied parts of the substance with their oleophilic properties mark the ink-bearing parts of the printed image.
  • the previously hydrophilic plate surface is made hydrophobic at the transfer points.
  • the application can be carried out, for example, by means of ink-jet, electrostatic or, as proposed in DE-PS 39 17 844 by the same applicant, thermal transfer processes.
  • Both a printing plate, preferably anodized, hydrophilized aluminum plate, and a printing cylinder, the outer surface of which has hydrophilic properties, can serve as the printing form.
  • Both a pressure cylinder with a cylinder jacket made of ceramic (preferably Al2O3, but also Cr2O3, ZrSiO4 or Al-Mg silicate), as well as a solid ceramic or glass cylinder can be used.
  • the object of the invention is to develop a method for the regeneration of such printing forms, the removal of the imaging and the hydrophilization can be carried out without damaging or attacking the surface of the printing form and the method has fewer steps.
  • the reactive species (oxygen ions and radicals) formed during the high-frequency excitation of the process gas and the resulting UV radiation are essentially responsible for the chemical reaction on the material surface.
  • High-molecular components of the imagewise applied material "crack" by oxidative and / or photolytic attack.
  • the resulting volatile reaction products are removed using a suction device. Any physical attack on the printing form surface is avoided.
  • the reactive cleaning processes for surfaces include, above all, corona treatment, UV radiation or treatment with a detonating gas flame.
  • low-pressure plasma and flame treatment are common methods for improving the adhesive strength of plastic surfaces in particular when painting, printing or coating.
  • plasma treatment is used, among other things. successfully used for photoresist stripping and surface cleaning.
  • the printing form cylinder to be deleted is preferably moved under the nozzle burner 3 at 20 mm per second.
  • the distance between the nozzle burner 3 and the surface of the printing form cylinder 1 is usually 10 to 50 mm.
  • the nozzles of the nozzle burner 3 are offset from one another in a row (see FIG. 2).
  • the volatile substances formed on the surface of the printing form 1 during the reactive deletion of the substance parts are discharged via a suction device, which is not shown for reasons of clarity and is connected downstream of the application device 2.
  • the nozzle burner 3 covers the entire width of the printing form 1.
  • a nozzle burner with only one punctiform nozzle opening which is moved axially along the printing form 1 while the printing form 1 passes underneath it rotates and the nozzle burner thus machined the surface of the printing form 1.
  • FIG. 3 shows a second example of a reactive method for regeneration of a printing form.
  • a printing form cylinder 8 moves under an application device 9 in the manner shown.
  • This essentially has a reaction chamber 10 which is arranged over the entire width of the surface of the printing form cylinder 8 in the manner shown and gas lines 11 which on the one hand open into the reaction chamber 10 and on the other hand connect the reaction chamber 10 to a plasma generation chamber 12.
  • a high-frequency generator magnet
  • gases are introduced into the plasma generation chamber 12 at a pressure of 50 to 200 Pa (0.5 to 2 mbar), preferably 80 to 140 Pa (0.8 to 1.4 mbar).
  • Oxygen or an oxygen / CF4 mixture is preferably used as the reaction gas.
  • a gas discharge is ignited by applying a high-frequency alternating voltage in the GHz range in the microwave range of preferably 2.45 GHz. This creates the plasma.
  • the plasma also contains ions, electrons and uncharged reaction gas molecules.
  • UV light is created as a result of recombination processes.
  • This plasma is fed via the gas lines 11 to the reaction chamber 10, which is evacuated to about 50 Pa (0.5 mbar) by means of a high vacuum pump 13.
  • the surface of the printing form cylinder 8 offers the chemical radicals the opportunity to make new connections.
  • the spatial separation of the plasma generator 12 and the reaction chamber 10 is due to the fact that the microwave sealing against a rotating cylinder is problematic. If the plasma generation chamber 12 and reaction chamber 10 are separated, only a static, microwave seal on the remoate chamber 12 is necessary. The seal the reaction chamber 10 against the rotating cylinder need only be a vacuum seal 14.
  • the illustrated areas e.g. be pretreated with ultrasound in various solvents or cleaning agents.
  • Post-treatment with ultrasound to remove inorganic constituents loosely adhering to the surface after the plasma treatment is also conceivable.
  • Aftertreatment of the printing form surface, which can be wetted very well after the plasma treatment, by UV radiation to prevent recontamination of the surface by organic contaminants is also conceivable. It is also possible to support the degradation reaction of the imaging layer initiated by radical attack during the plasma treatment by simultaneous UV irradiation.
