Definitions
- the invention relates to a method, a device and a printing form for transferring flowable printing ink to a printing material.
- liquid printing ink e.g. ink
- the patterns to be printed are applied to the printing form.
- the patterns can be applied to a surface in the form of depressions or elevations.
- Printing ink is then applied to the elevations (high pressure) or pressed into the depressions (gravure printing) and transferred to the printing material by contact with the printing material.
- the object of the invention is therefore to create a method and a device for printing on printing materials in which different patterns can be printed with only one printing form.
- the invention proposes a printing form according to claims 1 to 19, a device according to claim 30 and a method according to claim 31. Additional developments of the invention result from the subclaims.
- the object is achieved in that a grid of fine openings is embedded in the surface of the printing form.
- the fine openings form the halftone dots from which a pattern to be printed can be built.
- individual openings gen - halftone dots - selected, into which printing ink is sucked according to the method according to the invention.
- Each of the openings opens into a cavity located behind, which can be heated and cooled by suitable devices, as a result of which the gases in the cavity are heated or cooled, and as a result of which the gas temperature in the cavity changes.
- the gas pressure in front of an opening and in the cavity behind it is the same when the opening is free.
- Printing ink is drawn into an opening in that after the gases in a selected cavity have been heated, the opening is covered in a gastight manner with printing ink, and the gas temperature in the cavity is then reduced again. Lowering the gas temperature in the cavity reduces the gas pressure in the cavity. This causes the outer, now higher gas pressure, to press printing ink into the opening.
- the surface properties of the printing form and the properties of the printing ink are expediently coordinated with one another in such a way that the printing ink does not wet the fine openings in the printing form, and thus no printing ink can get into the associated opening without a pressure difference between a cavity and the external environment.
- the printing of a given pattern is carried out by specifically heating individual cavities of the printing form, then covering the surface of the printing form with printing ink and thus covering all openings with printing ink in a gastight manner, and then again cooling the gas temperature of the selected cavities lowers.
- openings are then filled with printing ink, or completely free of printing ink.
- Ink residues on the surface of the printing form, which are located between the openings, should be removed using a suitable device. This can be done, for example, with the aid of a squeegee or by designing the areas of the surface of the printing form located between the openings as printing forms. ben repellent.
- the printing can then take place by contact of the printing form with the printing material. The resolution with which the printed image is created depends on the distances between the openings.
- Residues of the printing ink can be removed from the printing form by a suitable device. Color residues can e.g. be wiped off.
- the printing method according to the invention makes it possible, depending on the specification, to transfer different amounts of printing ink per screen dot to the printing substrate by heating the gas in the cavities to different extents. This results in different gas temperatures in the heated cavities, which lead to the fact that with otherwise the same cavities, after cooling, different amounts of printing ink are pressed into the openings, and thus different amounts of printing ink per screen dot can also advantageously be transferred to the printing material.
- the openings in the printing form do not have to have a circular cross-sectional area, areas deviating from this are conceivable. There are upper and lower limits for the dimension of the opening.
- the opening must not become too small, since otherwise the pressure difference can no longer be sufficient to press printing ink into the opening against the effect of its surface tension. However, the opening must also not become too large, since otherwise the pressure difference can no longer be sufficient to hold printing ink in the openings against the effect of gravity.
- Printing ink can be applied to the printing form in different ways. You can spread or spray ink. However, the printing form can also be particularly advantageously immersed in the printing ink. It is important to cover openings of cavities with heated gas fillings in a gas-tight manner before the gas fill is cooled again. Printing ink only penetrates when the gas filling cools down an opening.
- the application of the printing ink, the size of the openings and the surface properties of the printing form and the printing ink should expediently be coordinated with one another such that no printing ink penetrates into the openings as a result of the application alone.
- An essential aspect of the invention is the generation of negative pressure by heating the gas filling in the cavities of the printing form and subsequent cooling.
- Different techniques are suitable to bring about heating.
- the heating can take place via an electrical resistance heater if each of the cavities of the printing form is equipped with a resistance heater which can be switched on and off individually.
- Energy for heating the gas filling can also be achieved by inductive or capacitive coupling of electrical energy into the vicinity of the cavities, which is ultimately converted into thermal energy.
- the transmission of energy for heating the gas filling by means of electromagnetic radiation and here in particular the transmission of energy with laser light is particularly suitable for the printing method according to the invention. In the last three cases mentioned, the energy is generated by elements in or adjacent to the cavities. Heat implemented.
- the gas filling can also be heated by the direct inductive, capacitive or resistive coupling of energy into the gas. It is also possible to heat gas fillings through the direct absorption of electromagnetic radiation by the gas.
- air as gas in the cavities has the advantage that two physical properties of air can be used advantageously for the invention. This is because air has a good thermal conductivity, which means that an air volume is very large. warms up quickly. This is advantageous in the invention in that the cavities into which printing ink is to be drawn can be heated very quickly, which leads to short printing cycle times. However, air also has a relatively poor rating Thermal conductivity, is therefore not well suited for heat transport. This effect, which has an insulating effect in this respect, has the advantage in the invention that the printing form in the vicinity of the cavities is exposed to only slight heating.
- the individual cavities of the printing form should be sufficiently thermally insulated from one another so that gas fillings in cavities can be specifically heated without the gas fillings of cavities in the immediate vicinity also being heated thereby, so that it can be reliably prevented that after covering the openings with Printing ink and the cooling of the gas filling, printing ink is sucked into openings that should not be filled with printing ink for printing the specified pattern.
- the measure for a sufficiently good thermal insulation is also influenced by the period between the beginning of the heating of the gas filling in a cavity and the covering of the associated opening with printing ink.
- An increase in the time period requires an improvement in the thermal insulation between the cavities in order to keep temperature changes in the cavities harmless as a result of thermal conduction between the cavities.
- the printing form can be a flat or curved plate, the design of the printing form as a hollow cylinder is particularly suitable.
- the heated gas fill After gas-tight covering of the openings to the cavities with heated or unheated gas fillings by means of printing ink, the heated gas fill must be suitably cooled.
- the cooling can take place, for example, via a gas flow which acts at least on parts of the outer surface of the cavities. Some of the cooling effect can also come from the printing ink if gas from a heated gas filling comes into contact with the cooler printing ink.
- the cooling should not drop below the gas temperature in the gas surrounding the printing form from the outside, since otherwise even in cavities with unheated gas fillings, after the gastight covering with printing ink, a negative pressure is created which can push the printing ink into openings.
- the transfer of printing ink from the printing form according to the invention to the printing material can be supported by heating gas fillings in the cavities of the printing form.
- the heating of the gas filling in a cavity leads to an increase in pressure in the cavity when the associated opening is filled gas-tight with printing ink. By increasing the pressure, the printing ink is then pressed out of the opening. The printing ink can then easily be absorbed by the substrate.
- a printing cycle consists of heating the gas fillings of selected cavities, then covering the openings with printing ink, then cooling the heated gas fillings, then removing unnecessary printing ink and finally transferring printing ink from openings in the printing form to the substrate.
- the transfer / discharge can be supported by heating gas fillings in cavities.
- a pattern can also be printed by first filling openings in the printing form with printing ink in the manner described above, and creating the pattern on the printing substrate by heating only selected cavities and, if appropriate, only printing ink from the openings belonging to them in different quantities - due to different heating - then reaches the substrate.
- a print made in this way presupposes that without the Heating of gas fillings in cavities means that no printing ink can get onto the substrate. This means that printing ink may only be present in the openings.
- a change in pressure in the cavity can be effected after the opening of the cavity has been covered with printing ink by changing the volume of the cavity.
- the volume change in the cavity can be achieved by means of a deformable and / or movable wall area (e.g. by means of a piston or membrane).
- An increase in the volume of the cavity after covering with printing ink leads to a reduction in pressure in the cavity. As a result, printing ink is sucked in.
- a pressure increase in the cavity is achieved by reducing the volume.
- the pressure increase in the cavity can support the ink transfer from the printing form to the printing material.
- the negative pressure generating device is expediently formed by a deformable and / or movable wall area of the cavity, the wall area being biased into a first position and being able to be moved out of it by means of an actuator into a second position and the volume of the cavity in the first position of the wall area is larger than in the second position.
- This device can also be used for dispensing or to support the dispensing of the printing ink from the cavity by reducing the volume of the cavity over the wall area.
- the invention can therefore be seen in a printing form which is provided with a body with a surface which has a multiplicity of openings, a multiplicity of cavities in the body which end in the openings in the surface of the body and contain gas , and Devices assigned to each cavity for generating a negative pressure in the cavity in question, wherein by creating a negative pressure in a cavity after the opening of the cavity has been covered with a printing ink, it can be sucked into the region of the cavity near the opening.
- the device for generating a negative pressure in a cavity therefore expediently has a cooling device for cooling and / or allowing the gas to cool in the cavity, so that by allowing the gas to cool and / or cool in a cavity with the opening of the Cavity, the gas in this can be exposed to a negative pressure sucking ink into the cavity.
- the heating required for this purpose is designed, for example, as a resistance heating element.
- the heater is in the cavity or in thermal contact with it or its wall.
- the heater in a cavity can be designed as a heating element that heats up by absorption of electromagnetic radiation, this absorption heating element in particular comprising a metal oxide.
- the heating is also possible for the heating to be implemented by an energy source, the energy of which is inductively, capacitively or resistively coupled into gas volumes in the cavities, or for the energy source to emit electromagnetic radiation which is absorbed by gas volumes in the cavities.
- the printing ink is thus sucked into cavities opening into the openings of the surface of the printing form, the printing ink being located within the openings and the areas of the cavities close to the opening, and - the printing ink is discharged from the cavities onto the printing material.
- printing ink previously sucked into the cavity can be discharged from the cavity onto the printing substrate or the discharge can be supported.
- printing ink is sucked into the openings and into the regions of all cavities of a group of cavities close to the opening and that the discharge takes place by selectively applying an overpressure within selected cavities of this group of cavities.
- the groups of cavities mentioned here are, for example, one or more rows of cavities arranged side by side or one above the other on the surface of the printing form.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 show two exemplary embodiments of the surface of a printing form, 3 shows a partially broken open view of the printing form,
- Fig. 4 shows an alternative embodiment of a printing form in longitudinal section
- Fig. 5 to 9 graphically describe the conditions in the area of a cavity and its opening during the individual steps of a printing cycle.
- the curved part of a printing form can also be part of a printing form in the form of a hollow cylinder.
- the printing form is characterized by a grid of openings 1, made in a flat or curved plate, or on the outside of a hollow cylinder.
- Cavities 2 are arranged behind the openings 1. Each cavity 2 has only the opening 1, so it is only open to the surface of the printing form. Ink can be sucked into the openings.
- One side of the cavities 2 is formed by a stopper 3 made of a good heat-conducting material. The heat conduction through the plug 3 ensures that thermal energy in the plug 3, applied e.g.
- the laser light is irradiated in troughs 4 which are each assigned to individual openings.
- a gas jet can be directed onto the troughs to cool the gas fillings.
- the individual openings 1, cavities 2, plugs 3 and troughs 4 are embedded in a matrix 5, which ensures the necessary thermal insulation between different openings 1, cavities 2, plugs 3 and troughs 4.
- FIG. 3 an embodiment of a printing device is shown.
- the printing form 6 in this example is a hollow cylinder according to FIG. 2, with the openings 1 for the ink entry on the outside of the hollow cylinder.
- Heating bar 7 and cooling bar 8 are arranged on the inside of the hollow cylinder. They extend over the full length of the printing form 6 and enable heating and cooling of cavities in the printing form 6.
- the printing form rotates about an axis 10 connected to a frame 9.
- the heating bar 7 and cooling beam 8 are connected to a frame 9.
- the heating bar 7 has the task of heating cavities 2 in the printing form 6 in accordance with the pattern to be printed, in this embodiment only a strip-shaped area of the printing form 6 lying under the heating bar 7.
- the heating bar 7 contains devices which direct laser light into depressions 4 in accordance with the pattern to be printed. Laser light is absorbed in a trough 4 and converted into thermal energy, and ultimately thereby heats a gas filling. The laser light is directed into the heating beam 7 by an externally arranged laser 11 via optical fibers 12. Control signals for deflecting the laser light into the individual depressions of the printing form are processed in an external device 13 and passed into the heating beam 7 via a cable 14. The printing form 6 moves past the heating bar 7 as a result of its rotation about the axis 10. After the passage of cavities 2 past the heating bar 7, the associated openings 1 are covered with printing ink 15 by immersing the outer surface of the printing form in printing ink 15.
- the printing ink 15 is located in a trough 16 under the printing form 6.
- cavities are cooled by the cooling beam 8.
- the cooling bar 8 covers a strip of the printing form 6, and the cooling takes place via a gas stream which is directed into the troughs 4 moving past the cooling bar 8.
- the cooling air is fed to the chilled beam 8 via a hose line 17. The cooling reduces the gas pressure in the previously heated cavities, thereby pushing printing ink into openings.
- the cavities can be heated to different extents, this advantageously means that different amounts of printing ink are pressed into the corresponding openings.
- a knife squeegee 18 strips off excess ink from the printing form 6 before the printing form 6 is brought into contact with the printing material 19, and printing ink reaches the printing material 19 from the openings 1.
- the roller 20 presses the printing material 19 against the printing form 6.
- the printing material 19 is guided through the rollers 21.
- the heating bar 22 which extends over the entire width of the printing form 6, the gas fillings in the cavities of the printing form 6 are heated with respect to the roller 20. This supports the transfer of the printing ink from the openings 1 of the printing form 6 to the printing material 19.
- a supply line 23 supplies the heating bar 22 with the necessary energy.
- the printing form is designed as a thin-walled tube, into which the cavities and openings are incorporated.
- the task then arises of mechanically stabilizing the printing form for the printing process.
- the printing form can be connected to the pipe ends with tensioning elements which exert a tensile stress on the printing form parallel to the pipe axis and thus align and mechanically stabilize the printing form.
- a thin-walled printing form can be particularly mechanically stabilized by a gas cushion.
- FIG. 4 shows a tubular, thin-walled printing form 6, which is connected at the ends to clamping elements 24.
- Printing form 6 and clamping elements 24 are pushed over a mandrel 25.
- the mandrel 25 is firmly connected to a frame 9.
- Clamping elements 24 and printing form 6 are rotatably arranged around the mandrel 25 and are guided through bearings 28. With the help of a clamping screw 29, a tensile stress can be exerted on the printing form 6, which aligns the printing form 6 and stabilizes it mechanically.
- the printing form 6 can be mechanically stabilized by a gas cushion between the printing form 6 and the opposite surface of the mandrel 25.
- the gas cushion is formed in a narrow gap between the printing form 6 and the outer surface of the mandrel 25 by compressed gas.
- the gas cushion can be subjected to pressure on the printing form 6 perpendicular to the surface and in the direction of the axis of rotation without the printing form 6 touching the mandrel 25.
- the pressure is transferred to the mandrel 25 through the gas cushion.
- Gas for the air cushion is pressed into the gap from fine nozzle openings 30 distributed over the outer surface of the mandrel 25.
- a supply channel 31 leads compressed gas to the nozzle openings 30.
- the heating and cooling devices required for the printing process can be installed in the mandrel 25. 4 shows a heating bar 7 with an optical fiber 12.
- a pressure cycle consists of heating the gas fillings (FIG. 5) of selected cavities - in this case by means of a resistance heater 32 -, then covering the openings with printing ink (FIG. 6), then cooling the heated gas fillings (FIG. 7) , the subsequent removal of unnecessary printing ink (FIG. 8) and finally the transfer of printing ink from openings in the printing form to the printing material (FIG. 9).
- the transfer / discharge can be supported by heating gas fillings in cavities. example

Through holes of the same type are drilled perpendicular to the surface in the Teflon plate. The through holes have a diameter of 0.4 mm up to a drilling depth of one millimeter. The bore diameter then widens from 0.4 mm to 0.9 mm.
- the holes in the plate form a grid with a hexagonal structure. There is a distance of 2 mm between the grid points.
- Glass tubes are inserted into the openings of the through holes with the larger diameters.

- the ohmic resistance of the bridge made of constantan wire is 4 ⁇ .
- the constantan wires are all completely in the glass tubes.
- An electrical current that flows from the outside via the copper wires through the constantan bridge heats the wire and causes the gas filling in the glass tube to heat up.
- the gas fillings in the cavities are heated, the associated openings of which are intended to draw in printing ink. This is done with an electrical voltage of 1.2 volts with which the resistance heaters of the selected cavities are supplied for 0.5 seconds.
- the openings in the printing form are covered with printing ink 0.1 seconds before the power supplies for the resistance heaters are switched off. Two seconds later, when the gas temperature in the gas fillings heated by the resistance heating has almost reached ambient temperature again, the printing ink can be wiped off the surface of the printing form with a rubber squeegee. Ink was only drawn from the openings with heated gas fillings.
