Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Bedrucken eines Substrates durch Heißprägen, bei dem das Substrat und eine mit einer Farbkörperschicht versehene Prägefolie mit der Farbkörperschicht der zu bedruckenden Oberfläche des Substrates gegenüberliegend, gemeinsam durch eine Prägestation geführt werden, in der das Substrat und die Prägefolie unter Wärmeeinwirkung zwischen einem Druckkopf und einem Gegendruckelement unter Übertragung von Farbkörpern auf das Substrat zusammengepreßt werden und mindestens die Prägefolie vor dem Erreichen der Prägestation vorgeheizt sowie die Prägekraft punkt- oder zeichenweise seriell aufeinanderfolgend aufgebracht wird, welches sich dadurch auszeichnet, daß das Substrat und die Prägefolie zum Vorheizen und Prägen auf eine zylinderförmige, beheizte Fläche des Gegendruckelementes vorgeschoben werden und daß der Druckkopf alternierend für das sequentielle Prägen in Umfangsrichtung über die zylinderförmige Fläche und für den Übergang in eine neue Prägezeile quer zur Umfangsrichtung vorgeschoben wird.The invention relates to a method for printing on a substrate by hot stamping, in which the substrate and one with a colored body layer embossed foil with the colored body layer of the opposing printing surface of the substrate, together through an embossing station in which the substrate and the Hot stamping foil between a printhead and a Counter pressure element with transfer of color bodies to the substrate be pressed together and at least the stamping foil before reaching the embossing station preheated and the embossing point or character by character, which is applied in series is characterized in that the substrate and the stamping foil for Preheat and emboss on a cylindrical, heated surface of the Counter pressure element are advanced and that the print head alternately for sequential embossing in the circumferential direction via the cylindrical surface and for the transition to a new embossing line is advanced transversely to the circumferential direction.

Außerdem wird in der Erfindung eine Vorrichtung zum Bedrucken eines Substrates durch Heißprägen angegeben mit einer einen Druckkopf und ein Gegendruckelement aufweisenden Prägestation, mit einer Einrichtung zum Vorheizen mindestens der Prägefolie und mit einem Druckkopf zum punkt- oder zeichenweisen Aufbringen der Prägekraft, welche sich dadurch ausueichnet, daß das Gegendruckelement als beheizte Trommel ausgebildet ist, auf der das Substrat und die Prägefolie während des Vorheizens und des Prägens aufliegen, daß für den Druckkopf eine zweiachsige Führung vorgesehen ist, die einerseits entlang einer Kreisbahn über die Trommel und andererseits parallel zur Richtung der Trommelachse über den Trommelumfang gerichtet ist und daß ein Antrieb für den Druckkopf vorgesehen ist, der diesen während des Prägens einer Prägezeile entlang der Kreisbahn und dann zum Anfang einer neuen Prägezeile parallel zur Trommelachse vorschiebt.

In addition, the invention provides a device for printing a substrate by hot stamping with an embossing station having a printhead and a counter-pressure element, with a device for preheating at least the embossing foil and with a printhead for applying the embossing force point by point or character, which is thereby that the counter-pressure element is designed as a heated drum, on which the substrate and the stamping foil lie during preheating and embossing, that a two-axis guide is provided for the print head, which on the one hand follows a circular path over the drum and on the other hand parallel to the direction of the drum axis the drum circumference is directed and that a drive for the print head is provided, which feeds it during the embossing of an embossing line along the circular path and then at the beginning of a new embossing line parallel to the drum axis.
