Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of printing based on photosensitive inks, that is to say, inks that are dryable or polymerizable by light radiation, especially ultraviolet radiation.
  • a crippling disadvantage of solvent-based inks is the harmfulness of the solvents employed, of the acetone type. Printing with such inks requires complex devices collecting rejected solvents and important precautions of implementation.
  • Polymeric inks do not have these disadvantages of use and are particularly suitable for point-to-point printing, particularly by inkjet printing.
  • these inks In the liquid phase, these inks have a fluidity which makes it possible to mechanically deposit, especially in an offset process, ink drops of very fine size or to project drops point by point on a support.
  • the final fixing of the polymer inks is carried out during a so-called ink-curing step which follows the deposition of the ink drops.
  • the crosslinking consists in polymerizing or crystallizing the ink, the polymers constituting the ink binding together to form longer polymeric chains and attach to the support.
  • a crosslinking step thus makes it possible to solidify the ink and fix it to the support.
  • Plastic such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), poly-ethyl tetraethylene (PET), polycarbonates (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and Other organic polymers are quite naturally suitable for printing with polymer ink, the ink polymers and the carrier polymers being firmly attached to each other during crosslinking.

  • PET poly-ethyl tetraethylene
  • PC polycarbonates
  • ABS acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene
  • Other organic polymers are quite naturally suitable for printing with polymer ink, the ink polymers and the carrier polymers being firmly attached to each other during crosslinking.
  • the crosslinking is obtained by exposing the inked support under ultraviolet radiation.
  • ultraviolet radiation curable ink abbreviated UV ink.
  • the energy of ultraviolet photons allows the polymerization of the polymer chains together.
  • the substrate must be exposed under ultraviolet light and for a sufficient time, so that the ink is fixed to the support and hardens completely.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show schematic known printing techniques based on crosslinkable UV ink.
  • Figure 1 shows a polychrome offset printing of a support.
  • the carrier 10 advances between a drive roll 15 and contact rolls 11, 12, 13, and 14.
  • Each roll 11 or 12 or 13 or 14 contains a frame of the image to be printed.
  • the hollows of the frames of each roll are inked with a black or colored ink, in particular cyan, magenta or yellow ink.
  • Several color frames are thus deposited on the support to constitute a final image in polychromy.
  • the inking step is followed by a step of crosslinking by continuous exposure 19 of the support 10 under an ultraviolet lamp 18.
  • the offset printing can be monochrome by providing a single black or color ink roll. .
  • Figure 2 schematizes a polychrome inkjet printing process.
  • Several reservoirs 21, 22, 23 and 24 containing the black polymer inks of different colors feed at least one ink drop ejection nozzle, each reservoir preferably having its own line of ejection nozzles, the line of impression being transverse to the direction of movement of the support.
  • the drops of ink are deposited point by point on the support, a device for moving the support and computer programming of the print image controlling the ejection of the drops by each nozzle of the line with a possible control of drop volume ejected.
  • the computer system defines the spatial locations of the points to be inked and controls the ejection or non-ejection of the drops according to this location.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a printing alternative in which each inking step is followed by a crosslinking step to dry each ink before subsequent inking of different color.
  • the printing device of FIG. 2 thus comprises in this example four ultraviolet lamps 25, 26, 27 and 28 for drying each ink individually.
  • US-A-5,502,310 discloses a UV irradiation apparatus and a photosensitive ink crosslinking process, comprising a step of inking a plastic support, followed by a step of irradiating the entire surface of the support with a UV light source constituted by a lamp tube disposed in a two-part reflective housing.
  • GB-A-203/298 discloses a laser apparatus which can produce a coherent beam of light.
  • the coherent beam is directed at a selected drawing to dry or crosslink.
  • ultraviolet lamps give off a lot of heat.
  • the polymerizable ink printing devices must therefore include a costly and bulky cooling system.
  • so-called cold UV lamps designed to emit less infra-red radiation and therefore less heat, does not eliminate the need for cooling when high print speeds are desired.
  • a disadvantage of known ultraviolet radiation curable ink printing devices is therefore high heat generation at the crosslinking steps.
  • Another disadvantage is the premature aging of the supports and their yellowing under the effect of ultraviolet radiation crosslinking.
  • An object of the invention is to provide an ink curing process for printing at a high rate, without the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • a particular object of the invention is to avoid the yellowing of the support in order to allow a lasting impression of quality.
  • crosslinking is carried out by an ultraviolet laser beam concentrated on the drops of ink deposited on the surface of the support, the white surfaces of the support not being scanned by the laser beam.
  • the invention is particularly applicable to the printing and the crosslinking of ink on a plastic support.
  • the ink crosslinking according to the invention is particularly applicable to point-to-point inkjet printing and / or a polychromatic printing process.

  • the invention thus comprises a preliminary step of anchoring the support, the inking being carried out with a photosensitive ink of the type ultraviolet radiation crosslinkable ink.
  • the inking is carried out according to the invention by depositing drops of ultraviolet radiation polymer ink point by point on a printing medium.
  • the support 38 comprises inked surfaces and non-inked surfaces, the inked surfaces being constituted by inked points 31 arranged contiguously or in isolation.
  • the method according to the invention provides for applying a concentrated ultraviolet beam to the inked dots, excluding non-inked surfaces of the support.
  • FIG. 3 thus shows an optical device 33 34 schematically provided with an ultraviolet light source 33 and a beam concentrator 34 for concentrating the ultraviolet rays on an inked dot 31.
  • An advantage of the invention is that the light power of the ultraviolet light source 33 is concentrated on the single point 31 whose crosslinking is then very fast. Therefore, one can provide a very fast scanning inked dots, applying the concentrated beam on each point for a period of time corresponding to the energy that must receive the ink drop to be fully crosslinked.
  • An advantage of such an arrangement is that aging and yellowing of the support is avoided, especially on non-inked surfaces.
  • Another advantage is that the applied light energy is lower compared to the methods of exposure to ultraviolet lamps, no radiation power being dispensed unnecessarily on the non-inked surfaces.
  • Such an arrangement is easily achieved by providing that the beam 32 is concentrated on a surface substantially equal to the surface of a drop of ink. Scanning means of the support and distribution of the beam will be detailed below in two preferred embodiments of device implementing the method according to the invention.

  • an ultraviolet laser can have a very intense light power, which allows a very fast exposure of each point to be crosslinked.
  • crosslinking time of a support having few inked dots is thus advantageously reduced compared to known methods.
  • a laser emission device 43 emitting a beam continuously or by pulse.
  • the exposure time of a drop under the continuous beam or the number of laser pulses applied to the drop is determined so that the drop receives the light energy of crosslinking.
