Definitions

  • the invention relates to the use of a carrier for printing by means of laser printing.
  • a carrier for printing by means of laser printing In the context of the invention is also a suitable paint formulation for priming a carrier and the use of a printed carrier.
  • Aluminum and plastic coversheets for blister packs are almost always provided with decorative prints.
  • the flexographic and gravure printing processes are ideal; smaller series or labels are printed inline on the system.
  • the vast majority of these prints are applied to a thin basecoat layer for reasons of lubricity, substrate protection, and adhesion promotion for the ink. In addition, this must be resistant to the usual heat seal with temperatures of up to 260 ° C when sealing blister packs and must not adhere to the bare or coated metallic, hot sealing tools. Therefore, only paints with the lowest possible thermoplasticity come into question here.
  • a new printing method which, with similar print image size as flexo and gravure printing, offers the possibility of completely changing the print motif from one print to the next with practically negligible time delay. This can be done externally or inline at the packaging plants.
  • the working method is similar to laser printing. A toner is transferred via a laser-activated cliché roll and is fixed to the print carrier by the heat energy of a flash of light, for example a xenon arc lamp. This is much lower in comparison with the heat activation of laser printing. The usual printing precursors under these conditions led only to insufficient adhesion of the toner.
  • the EP-A-0 672 539 discloses papers for inkjet printing with a base coat layer containing fine particles.
  • a suitable for the laser printing carrier Bzw. to provide a paint preparation suitable for its preparation, with which the adhesion between the basecoat and printing ink (toner) can be improved in a simple manner.
  • the carrier is intended to enable the use of laser printing techniques, even at low heat energy, to activate the toner as an ink.
  • the solution according to the invention is achieved by the use of a support according to claim 1 or a paint preparation according to claim 6.
  • the base coat can contain fine-grained constituents such as finely divided silica, talc, silica, natural or surface-pretreated mica and / or organic particles.
  • the organic particles may also be organic additives, resins or polymers which do not dissolve in the paint formulation and thus increase the surface in the same way as the organic fillers.
  • Preferred supports include a foil of metal, plastic, paper or composite materials made therefrom.
  • the content of fine-grained constituents in the basecoat layer or in the paint formulation is preferably between 0.3 and 10% by weight.
  • lacquer binders customary today can be used as the basis for a lacquer preparation suitable for priming the support.
  • Good adhesion between printing primer and printing ink results, for example, with a paint preparation based on melamine or with urea resins crosslinkable polyesters or polystyrene acrylates, non-crosslinkable cellulose nitrates or polyaddition crosslinking systems, in particular systems based on isocyanate, isocyanurate, cured polyester or polyacrylate based paints, optionally in admixture with non-curable fractions.
  • a preferred field of application of a printed carrier according to the invention made of aluminum, plastic or an aluminum / plastic composite material is its use as a heat sealable packaging film, in particular as a film for sealing blister packs by heat sealing or for bags.
  • a paint recipe of the composition 35% by weight crosslinkable polyester resin 7% by weight melamine resin 3% by weight epoxy resin 4% by weight catalyst solution 51% by weight solvent resulted in a layer thickness of the base coat layer of 1 to 2 microns to a very poor printability with a laser printing system.
  • a paint recipe of the composition 30% by weight cellulose nitrate 2% by weight polymeric plasticizers 68% by weight solvent showed poor printability with a laser printing system.
  • the printability was significantly improved.
