Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a printing plate in a rotary printing press, in particular an offset printing plate in a web-fed rotary printing press for the Newspaper printing, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a web is usually passed through in a web-fed rotary offset printing press led a variety of printing units in which they with a single or multi-colored Image is printed. This is often the case in magazine or newspaper printing Need one or more of the on the plate cylinders of the press arranged pressure plates to change, for. B. to go to the first page of a current Issue a newspaper to print the latest news or around the newspaper head change during a production run if the newspaper is in different areas appears with different names.
  • the printing press Before a new production run, however, the printing press must be set up and printing plates must be applied to the plate cylinders of the printing press.
  • conventional newspaper printing presses in which usually two, three, four or even more webs in a corresponding number of printing units at the same time are printed and the printing units each have at least two, but usually four or include more plate cylinders, with a large number of printing plates, u. U. to to hundred, worked in the right order, position and orientation (with respect to the top and bottom edge) mounted on the correct plate cylinder Need to become.
  • the prepress area which is usually the preparation of the layout of the Newspaper pages, the transmission of the images contained on the individual newspaper pages on a film and transferring the images from the film to the printing plate, the printing plates are handled individually, which means that for large Newspaper printing machines in which e.g. B. a hundred pages and more, enormous Prepress capacities and facilities must be available and the Preparing the printing plates requires a lot of time.
  • a shortening of the resulting time span between the completion of the Newspaper layouts and the start of printing can only be achieved by increasing prepress capacities and the number of machine operators who assemble the printing plates, can be achieved.
  • Another option is automatic Use plate changing systems, which are expensive and for those in compact Printing presses often do not have enough space.
  • an offset printing plate for a rotary printing press in particular to create a newspaper printing press, which reduces the required prepress capacities and those for applying the printing plates to the Plate cylinder of a newspaper printing machine allows the time required.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a method for producing a to create such an offset printing plate for a newspaper printing press.
  • the printing plate according to the invention for a rotary printing press comprises a plate base body or a plate base and a plurality of them disposed Predetermined breaking points, which define the edges or edges of partial plates, which the wear respective print images assigned to a newspaper page.
  • the inventive method for producing an offset printing plate comprises the following steps: Provision of a plate base and creation of predetermined breaking points in the plate base, which define the edges or margins of partial plates, the one to wear printing image.
  • the method according to the invention for producing an offset printing plate includes: provision of at least two partial plates and joining the partial plates together so that they have a single pressure plate Form predetermined breaking points, which are in one piece on the plate cylinder Offset printing machine can be applied.
  • the rotary offset printing machine shown in Fig. 1 in particular for the Newspaper printing, comprises a plurality of printing units 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d and 4e with each at least one plate cylinder 6 and at least one blanket cylinder 8 for Printing a web 2 with a single or multi-color image.
  • Fig. 1 there is only one Lane 2 shown.
  • the rotary offset printing machine cannot be shown in FIG. 1 further printing units for printing a plurality of webs 2, z. B. two, five or eight lanes 2.
  • each of the plate cylinders 6 is formed to be a according to the invention, consisting of a plurality of partial plates 10A, 10B, 10C, 10D Offset printing plate 10 can accommodate.
  • An offset printing plate 10 comprises, as shown in FIG. 3, one Plate body 12, which as a conventional, e.g. B. between 0.2 mm and 0.5 mm thick aluminum plate coated with a photosensitive layer according to the state of the art Technology can be trained.
  • the photosensitive layer can be coated with a respective one A, B, C and D are printed on the newspaper page.
  • the printing plates 10 at least one formed in the base body 10 Predetermined breaking point 14a, 14b, 14c, which the edges or edges of the partial plates 10A, 10B, Define 10C, 10D.
  • the partial plates 10A, 10B, 10C, 10D are each with the in the Offset newspaper printing press 1 to be printed image A, B, C, D of a newspaper page illustrated.
  • the predetermined breaking points 14a, 14b 14c run z. B. from the front edge 16a to the rear edge 16b of the pressure plate 10.
  • the Front edge 16a and the rear edge 16b for fastening the pressure plate on one Plate cylinder chamfered portions 18a, 18b include, as in conventional Printing plates are known.
  • the folded portions 18a, 18b are preferred generated after imaging the printing plate 10, for. B. by means of a known Plate bending machine or a plate bending machine.
  • the solo break points 14a, 14b, 14c can be used as a series of holes 20 with connecting portions 22 (Fig. 4) as a notch 24 (Fig. 5), as a series of spot welds 26 (Fig. 6) or as any combination of Notches 24, welding spots 26 and holes 20 with connecting sections 22 be trained.
  • the holes or openings 20 can be made after imaging the plate 10 e.g. B. by means of a modified plate cutter or a plate punch before or after imaging into plate 10 while end portions 18a, 18b the pressure plate 10 are folded or the register perforation is punched into the plate 10 becomes.
  • the openings 20 or notches or notch-shaped grooves 24 can also on a other known ways, e.g. B. by means of a laser beam, a saw or a Drilling device, are introduced into the plate 10.
  • the predetermined breaking points 14 can also be generated by preferably before folding the end sections 18a, 18b two or more at the front edge 16a or the rear edge 16b of the plate 10
  • Sub-panels 10A, 10B, 10C, 10D are glued together, e.g. B. by means of a known glue, adhesive or filler such. B. epoxy or acrylate.
  • the welding points 26 of the predetermined breaking points 14 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 As an alternative to this, preferably before the end sections 18a, 18b are folded Sub-plates 14a-d z. B. by means of a known spot welding device in the partial plates 10A, 10B, 10C and 10D.
  • the solar break points 14 are preferably after imaging the plate 10 in the Plate base 12 are introduced, as already in connection with a known Plate folding machine or plate punch has been described, it is also possible to Predetermined breaking points 14 before imaging the printing plate or even before the application of Introduce photosensitive layer on the plate base 12 in the plate base 12.
  • the entire plate 10 After imaging the entire plate with the respective image A, B, C and D, the entire plate 10 then applied in one piece on a plate cylinder 6 and attached to it, e.g. B. with the aid of a known plate clamping device 30a-d, as shown in Fig. 2.
  • the first production start is started and the printing machine for so long kept in operation until the first production run is finished and another Production run- B. with a different front page for another local edition of the Newspaper - can be started.
  • the printing machine is stopped corresponding sub-plate 10A, 10B, 10C or 10D by breaking the plate 10 on the corresponding predetermined breaking point 14a, 14b, 14c removed and by another, with the replaced new image for the other edition of the newspaper illustrated partial plate.
