Anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles soll die Erfindung nachfolgend näher erläutert werden.Reference to an exemplary embodiment, the invention will be explained in more detail below.

Die dazugehörige Zeichnung zeigt ein Druckwerk 1 einer Mehrfarben-Bogenoffsetrotations-druckmaschine. Jedes Druckwerk 1 enthält als bogenführende Zylinder einen Gegendruckzylinder 2 und einen Übergabezylinder 3 und als druckbildübertragende Zylinder einen Druckformzylinder 4 und einen Gummizylinder 5. Der Gummizylinder 5 ist vom Gegendruckzylinder 2 und/oder vom Druckformzylinder 4 abstellbar.The accompanying drawing shows a printing unit 1 a multicolour Bogenoffsetrotations printing machine. Each printing unit 1 contains, as a sheet-guiding cylinder, a counter-pressure cylinder 2 and a transfer cylinder 3 and a printing form cylinder 4 and a blanket cylinder 5 as a printing image-transferring cylinder. The blanket cylinder 5 can be turned off by the impression cylinder 2 and / or the printing form cylinder 4.

Jedem Druckformzylinder 4 ist ein Farbwerk 6 und ein Feuchtwerk 7 zugeordnet. Diese sind mit hier nicht dargestellten Einrichtungen ausgestattet, die deren Abheben vom Druckformzylinder 4 möglich machen. Auf dem Druckformzylinder 4 kann auch eine (hier nicht dargestellte Druckform) aufgespannt sein.Each printing form cylinder 4 is assigned an inking unit 6 and a dampening unit 7. These are equipped with facilities not shown here, which make their withdrawal from the plate cylinder 4 possible. On the printing form cylinder 4, a (not shown here printing plate) can be clamped.

Dem Druckformzylinder 4 ist weiterhin eine Bebilderungseinrichtung 9 zugeordnet. Die Bebilderungseinrichtung 9 zur Bebilderung des Druckformzylinders 4 ist als eine Lasereinrichtung ausgeführt, die die bildtragenden Elemente aushärtet. Nach einem anderen Verfahren kann auch ein Ablations-Einrichtung auf Laser-Basis angewendet werden.The printing form cylinder 4 is further associated with a Bebilderungseinrichtung 9. The imaging device 9 for imaging the printing form cylinder 4 is designed as a laser device which cures the image-carrying elements. According to another method, a laser-based ablation device may also be used.

Dem Gummizylinder 5 sind eine Beschichtungseinrichtung 8 und eine Wascheinrichtung 10 zugeordnet. Die Beschichtungseinrichtung 8 ist hier als ein Kammerrakel ausgebildet. Darüber hinaus ist auch der Einsatz von Sprüheinrichtungen und Streicheinrichtungen zum Aufbringen der Schicht möglich. Die Wascheinrichtung 10 kann verfahrbar ausgeführt sein, so dass diese neben der Reinigung des Gummizylinders 5 auch für die Reinigung des Druckformzylinders 4 einsetzbar ist.The blanket cylinder 5 is assigned a coating device 8 and a washing device 10. The coating device 8 is designed here as a chambered doctor blade. In addition, the use of spraying and coating facilities for applying the layer is also possible. The washing device 10 can be moved be executed so that it can be used in addition to the cleaning of the blanket cylinder 5 for the cleaning of the printing forme cylinder 4.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren wird wie folgt realisiert:The process according to the invention is realized as follows:

Bei abgestelltem Gegendruckzylinder 2 und abgestelltem Farb- und Feuchtwerk 6; 7 wird durch die Beschichtungseinrichtung 8 ein Medium auf die Oberfläche des Gummizylinders 5 aufgebracht. Das erfolgt durch ein Kammerrakel oder andere geeignete Einrichtungen. Da der Gummizylinder 5 mit dem Druckformzylinder 4 in Kontakt steht, wird dieses Medium auf diesen übertragen und dort eine bebilderbare Beschichtung aufgebaut. Während des Beschichtungsvorgangs wird für die Drehzahl des Gummizylinders 5 und des Druckformzylinders 4 ein Wert gewählt, der von den rheologischen Eigenschaften des Beschichtungs-Materials abhängig ist.When the counter-pressure cylinder 2 and parked inking and dampening unit 6; 7, a medium is applied to the surface of the blanket cylinder 5 by the coating device 8. This is done by a chambered doctor blade or other suitable means. Since the blanket cylinder 5 is in contact with the printing form cylinder 4, this medium is transferred to this and built there an imageable coating . During the coating process, a value is chosen for the rotational speed of the blanket cylinder 5 and the plate cylinder 4, which depends on the rheological properties of the coating material.

Ist die für die Bebilderung erforderliche Schichtstärke erreicht, wird der Kontakt zwischen dem Gummizylinder 5 und dem Druckformzylinder 4 aufgehoben. Die Bebilderung kann nun durchgeführt werden. Das kann je nach Beschichtungsmaterial und Beschichtungsverfahren auf unterschiedliche Art und Weise erfolgen.If the layer thickness required for imaging is reached, the contact between the blanket cylinder 5 and the plate cylinder 4 is released. The illustration can now be done. This can be done in different ways depending on the coating material and coating method.

In der bevorzugten Variante wird das Medium durch den Laser der Bebilderungseinrichtung 9 an den die Bildinformation tragenden Stellen ausgehärtet, so dass druckende oder nichtdruckende Stellen an der Oberfläche des Druckformzylinders 4 bzw. an der Oberfläche der Druckform entstehen.In the preferred variant, the medium is cured by the laser of the imaging device 9 at the points carrying the image information so that printing or non-printing areas are formed on the surface of the printing form cylinder 4 or on the surface of the printing form.

In einer anderen Variante ist das Medium für die Beschichtung selbsthärtend. Ist die Aushärtung des Mediums nicht selbsttätig möglich, kann parallel zur Beschichtung die Aushärtung über UV-Licht (Polymerisation) oder über eine Laserstrahltrocknung und Einbrennen erfolgen. Nach einer anderen Variante ist es auch möglich, das Medium zu erhitzen, auf den Druckformzylinder 4 aufzubringen und die Verfestigung durch Kühlung zu erreichen. Der nach dem Aufbringen des Mediums derart präparierte Druckformzylinder 4 kann nunmehr durch die Bebilderungseinrichtung 9 nach dem Ablationsverfahren bebildert werden. Im Ergebnis des Bebilderungsprozesses wird die Oberfläche der Schicht mit einer Bildinformation beaufschlagt, so dass druckende und nichtdruckende Stellen entstehen. Je nachdem, ob die Schicht farbfreundlich oder feuchtmittelfreundlich ist, führt die Ablation der Schicht zu druckenden oder nichtdruckenden Stellen auf der Oberfläche des Druckformzylinders 4.In another variant, the medium for the coating is self-curing. If the curing of the medium is not possible automatically, the curing can take place parallel to the coating via UV light (polymerization) or via laser beam drying and baking. According to another variant, it is also possible to heat the medium, applied to the printing form cylinder 4 and to achieve the solidification by cooling. The printing form cylinder 4 prepared in this way after application of the medium can now be imaged by the imaging device 9 according to the ablation method. As a result of the imaging process, the surface of the layer is subjected to image information so that printing and non-printing areas are formed. Depending on whether the layer is color-friendly or humectant-friendly, the ablation of the layer leads to printing or non-printing areas on the surface of the printing forme cylinder 4.

Während und/oder nach der Bebilderung wird das auf der Oberfläche des Gummizylinders 5 verbleibende Beschichtungsmaterial abgewaschen oder abgerakelt. Bevorzugt wird dabei eine Wascheinrichtung 10 verwendet, deren Position verfahrbar ist. Dadurch kann nach dem Abwaschen des Beschichtungsmaterials vom Gummizylinder 5 auch das auf dem Druckformzylinder 4 bzw. auf der Druckform durch die Bebilderungseinrichtung 9 nicht ausgehärtete Material abgewaschen werden.During and / or after the imaging, the coating material remaining on the surface of the blanket cylinder 5 is washed off or doctored off. Preferably, a washing device 10 is used whose position is movable. As a result, after washing off the coating material from the blanket cylinder 5, the material not cured on the printing form cylinder 4 or on the printing form by the imaging device 9 can also be washed off.

In einer anderen Variante wird der Kontakt zwischen dem Gummizylinder 5 und dem Druckformzylinder 4 nach dem Erreichen der erforderlichen Schichtstärke nicht unterbrochen. Während der Bebilderung wird durch die Wascheinrichtung 10 gleichzeitig das Material vom Gummizylinder 5 und vom Druckformzylinder 4 abgewaschen.In another variant, the contact between the blanket cylinder 5 and the plate cylinder 4 is not interrupted after reaching the required layer thickness. During imaging, the material is simultaneously washed off the blanket cylinder 5 and the printing form cylinder 4 by the washing device 10.
