- FIG. 9 illustrates in the schematic sectional view a generic device from the prior art.
- a printed image carrier 10 in the present case a paper sheet, is with a selectively applied printed image 12 (Printing, for example, using an inkjet process) provided, for drying the printed image with full line of infrared emitted by an infrared radiator 14 or heat radiation 16 is applied.
- Print for example, using an inkjet process
- the line-shaped drying of Fig. 1 - in the form of a Line extends transversely to the feed direction of the print image carrier the continuous heat radiator - enables an acceleration of the process, e.g. by higher Drying temperatures with which the print image carrier acts becomes.
- Heating for example, by a heated one Transport role
- FIG. 10 and 11 illustrate the example of a point unprinted carrier paper (Fig. 10) or a printed one Place (Fig. 11), as is, depending on the irradiation time, temperature and vapor pressure on or in Develop carriers.
- the reference symbol is shown 18 the temperature profile and the reference number 20 the vapor pressure curve on or in the printed image carrier 10 and in Print image 12.
- the energy input takes place in the direction of arrow 22 using full-line (broad) infrared radiation; the Arrow 24 shows (arrow size proportional to the respective Energy) the absorption in the carrier or in the printed image. Only a very small amount of energy (arrow 26) is from Carrier transmits and occurs at the opposite of the radiation Page again.
- the object of the present invention is therefore a generic Device for drying printing ink or Develop ink to make both shorter Drying times, so higher printing speeds with continuous operation, can be made possible without the print carrier being adversely affected. Also are intended to be energy efficient and universal for a wide variety of Print image carriers, including thermosensitive print image carriers, be significantly increased or broadened.
- the task is accomplished by the device with the features of claim 1 and the method according to the claim 14 solved.
- Pressure device means any device that is suitable is one that requires subsequent heat drying Apply printing ink to a print carrier; next to the Inkjet printers mentioned by way of example belong to this for example also pen plotters, thermal transfer printers or the like. Devices.
- the heat source is a point Emits beam
- the print image carrier is small compared to the printed image carrier and usually around a minimum line width of one is adapted to the respective printed image, but also smaller or can be bigger.
- such devices are also encompassed by the invention, in which a Printing lying, unprinted carrier areas from one applied, controlled heat radiation.
- a control unit for the printing device such as a computer, generates a printed image to be evaluated directly as an electronic data signal and the print image data based on their position the printed image carrier the surface sections to be heated (Points) correspond directly to corresponding position data the heat source positioning device.
- page-oriented printer languages such as Postscript, PDF, HTML or the like should be a good basis for this offer, so that when such, readout unit provided in accordance with further training which at Scanning device described in the aforementioned embodiment can be omitted.
- the drying effect triggering infrared radiation with regard to performance Setting the radiation spectrum and pulse frequency so that depending on a particular ink or ink, here an optimum drying is achieved. So in particular a pulsed radiation with a pulse frequency ⁇ 20 KHz with energy output ⁇ 2 watts as particularly suitable for conventional Proven inkjet printer.
- a heat radiator use different illuminants or spot types:
- Lamps which - for the purpose of improved Adjustment or setup - also spectral components in the have visible area.
- Such lights can then with suitable focus means, for example one Concave mirror and / or optical lens unit, for pinpoint accuracy Generation of heat radiation can be provided.
- suitable focus means for example one Concave mirror and / or optical lens unit, for pinpoint accuracy Generation of heat radiation can be provided.
- a laser in particular offers the advantage of one extremely responsive control and focus speed, so there is practically no delay due to each Alignment of the lamps is done.
- a so-called high-power flash lamp as a radiation source to use, or again a full line Spotlight consisting of a plurality of arranged side by side Single radiators, which are only selective and can be controlled depending on a print image.
- a such an arrangement increases the drying speed that can be achieved further.
- the present invention is advantageously suitable for use with a variety of possible image carriers.
- Next Common paper, coated or uncoated, is therefore in particular also thermal paper can be used; add cardboard boxes, Plastics, plastic films, textile substrates or the like.
- the device according to the invention and the inventive method for drying printing ink or ink achieves that - in contrast to the known State of the art - the energy input to the concrete Print image is limited and so with regard to necessary Energy consumption as well as undesirable burden on the unprinted carrier areas are optimized.
- the print carrier 28 can either be a continuous, Endless bearer, or a sheet which is guided in the direction of arrow 32.
- a suitably trained control unit 34 such as a PC
- a printhead 36 known and not shown printing device the printed image on the paper support 28 according to the electronic Control signals from the computer.
- a sensor receives one, for example line-by-line scanner the print image and in turn converts this into corresponding signals; such scanner heads or scanner strips are as such also known from the prior art and react usually on the different light reflection from unprinted or printed areas.
- directable heat source 40 in response to that scanned printed image patterns by the unit 38 thereupon becomes a control signal in the control unit 34 for a movable or transverse to the feed direction 32 directable heat source 40, in the present case by realizes a pulsed laser, generates, and synchronized to Printing by printhead 36, only delayed by that Runtime between printhead and heat source 40, this runs the print image in an energy and temperature optimized manner to selectively only the printed, still moist Apply heat to surfaces to dry them.
- step S1 unprinted paper fed, printed in step S2.
- Printing takes place by control by means of control unit 34.
- step S3 the printed carrier is scanned by means of a sensor unit 38; whose sensor signal is on the control unit 34 at.
- the control unit 34 then activates the positionable Heat source 40, whereupon this in step S4 selectively and depending on the print image heated the print carrier, to make the print image more energy-efficient and time-optimized dry.
- step S5 the dried print carrier moves from the plant.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 analogous to the illustration to the prior art according to FIGS. 11 and 12 - explained should be how energetically and absorption technically the procedure according to the invention has an advantageous effect, is intended to continue with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 be described in detail what physical processes when energy input by infrared radiation in the printed or unprinted paper.
- Arrow 42 in Fig. 3 shows the energy impulse that with the the printed sheet 12 provided carrier sheet 10 applied becomes. While arrow 44 reflected that from the printing Clarifies energy, arrow 46 shows the reflection from the unprinted paper surface. Absorption in the printing ink takes place by means of arrow 48, in the unprinted Area by means of arrow 50. In the carrier material 10 comes it then leads to capillary or chemical influences; Heat conduction also takes place along arrows 52. Transmitted energy passes along arrows 54 (through Carrier plus printing) or 56 (carrier only) while Arrow 58 shows the vapor pressure.
- arrows 60 and 62 show the pulse-shaped in FIG Energy input in the printing (60) or in the unprinted Paper surface (62) with associated absorption 64 or 66. Reflected energy is indicated by the reference numerals 68 displayed while the transmitted energy signal 70 on the opposite side of the entry point from the Carrier material emerges.
- FIGS. 1/2 Incandescent lamp unit 72 as a central illuminant a tungsten filament 74, the concave mirror in the center of one 76 is arranged and an upstream Pulse generator 78 acted on with pulse-shaped control signals becomes.
- 7 with schematically drawn Radiation path shows the radiation of the incandescent lamp unit 72, partly in the optically visible, partly in Infrared lies, punctiform on the one with printing 12 provided section focused on the carrier 10.
- the arrangement according to FIG. 8 sees one in pulse operation operable laser 80, which is an i.w. parallel, emitted beam 82 with infrared portion focused on the printed section 12 at a point.
- the respective positioning units are not shown - either mechanical or electronic - the units 7 and 8 on respective punctiform sections of the Align the printed image.
- this invention it is also possible not only to use a single, to implement a spotlight unit, but rather these from a plurality of along to design a row of arranged units. Through selective Control individual elements of this line accordingly one to be dried underneath The positioning effort could then be reduced and potentially the drying rate can be increased further.
