Abstract

A method of forming an image information-carrying print form on a cylinder (1) in a printing machine comprises polarizing image regions (3) on a semiconductor layer (2) on the cylinder. Toner (7) is then firmly bound to the polarized regions and is removed using a laser after the printing process.

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Erzeugung einer eine Druckbildinformation tragenden Druckform auf einem Druckformzylinder in einer Druckmaschine.The invention relates to a method for generating print image information load-bearing printing form on a printing form cylinder in a printing press.

Es ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Druckform für Flachdruckmaschinen, insbesondere für Offsetdruckmaschinen mit Feuchtwerk, mit hydrophoben, die Druckfarben aufnehmenden Bildbereichen und hydrophilen, die Wasseraffinität beeinflussenden Bereichen in einer Druckmaschine bekannt DE 4119111A1. Dabei werden mit mindestes einer an ein Reservoir angeschlossenen Düse kleine Tröpfchen eines oleophilen, wasserresistenten Beschichtungsmediums in Punkt- oder Matrixform erzeugt und bildadäquat auf Teile einer hydrophilen Druckformzylinderoberfläche aufgetragen, die Düse in Zeilenrichtung und der Druckformzylinder senkrecht verschoben, durch eine zentrale Steuereinheit digitale Bildinformationen von einem Informationsträger übernommen und die Steuersignale über eine Übertragungseinheit und eine Steuereinheit der Düse und dem Druckformzylinder zugeführt.It is a method of making a printing form for planographic printing machines, in particular for offset printing machines with dampening system, with hydrophobic, which absorb the printing inks Image areas and hydrophilic areas affecting water affinity in one Printing machine known DE 4119111A1. At least one is attached to a reservoir connected nozzle small droplets of an oleophilic, water-resistant Coating medium generated in dot or matrix form and image-appropriate on parts of a hydrophilic printing form cylinder surface applied, the nozzle in the line direction and the Printing form cylinder shifted vertically, by a central control unit digital Image information taken from an information carrier and the control signals over a transfer unit and a control unit of the nozzle and the printing form cylinder fed.

Des Weiteren ist das Xeroxkopierverfahren allgemein bekannt. Bei diesem Kopierverfahren wird auf eine Halbleitertrommel ein latentes Bild erzeugt, dieses Bild mittels eines pulverförmigen Toners auf den Papierbogen übertragen und das latente Bild gelöscht. In Druckmaschinen ist dieses Verfahren nicht anwendbar.Furthermore, the xerox copying process is generally known. With this copying process a latent image is generated on a semiconductor drum, this image by means of a powdered toner on the paper sheet and erased the latent image. In This method is not applicable to printing presses.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist die Schaffung eines Verfahrens zur Erzeugung einer löschbaren Druckform auf dem Druckformzylinder in einer Druckmaschine mit geringen Aufwand und hoher Standzeit.The object of the invention is to provide a method for generating an erasable Printing form on the printing form cylinder in a printing press with little effort and long service life.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch das Kennzeichen des ersten Patentanspruches gelöst, zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen offenbart.According to the invention the object is characterized by the characterizing part of the first claim solved, expedient embodiments are disclosed in the subclaims.

Nachfolgend wird die erfindungsgemäße Lösung an einem Ausführungsbeispiel näher erläutert. The solution according to the invention is explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment explained.

Zu Fig. 1 ist ein Druckformzylinder einer Druckmaschine dargestellt. Der Druckformzylinder 1 ist mit einer Halbleiteroberfläche 2 ausgestattet, wobei die Halbleiteroberfläche 2 zweckmäßigerweise hydrophile Eigenschaften aufweist.
Die Halbleiteroberfläche 2 ist mit bildtragenden Stellen 3 eines vorherigen Druckauftrages versehen, wobei die bildtragenden Stellen hydrophob sind.1 shows a printing form cylinder of a printing press. The printing form cylinder 1 is equipped with a semiconductor surface 2, the semiconductor surface 2 expediently having hydrophilic properties.
The semiconductor surface 2 is provided with image-bearing areas 3 from a previous print job, the image-bearing areas being hydrophobic.

Bevor auf dem Druckzylinder 1 neue bildtragende Stellen 3' aufgebracht werden können sind die bildtragenden Stellen 3 des vorherigen Druckauftrages zu entfernen. Die Entfernung der bildtragenden Stellen 3 des vorherigen Druckauftrages erfolgt mit einer dem Druckformzylinder 1 zugeordneten Löscheinrichtung 4, diese Löscheinrichtung 4 arbeitet auf Laserbasis. Die Löscheinrichtung 4 ist über die Breite des Druckformzylinders 1 traversierend angeordnet oder reicht über die gesamte Breite des Druckzylinders 1.Before new image-bearing points 3 'can be applied to the printing cylinder 1 to remove the image-bearing areas 3 of the previous print job. The removal of the Image-bearing points 3 of the previous print job is carried out with a printing form cylinder 1 assigned extinguishing device 4, this extinguishing device 4 works on a laser basis. The quenching device 4 is arranged traversing across the width of the printing form cylinder 1 or extends across the entire width of the impression cylinder 1.

In Fig. 2 ist der Verfahrensschritt Polarisation der neuen bildtragenden Stellen 3' der Halbleiteroberfläche 2 dargestellt. Die neuen bildtragenden Stellen 3' eines neuen Druckauftrages werden mittels einer Polarisationseinrichtung 6 polarisiert.
Polarisation bedeutet, daß die polarisierten Stellen 5 für den später aufzubringenden Toner 7 empfänglich gemacht werden. Die Polarisationseinrichtung 6 ist mit einer nicht dargestellten Speichereinrichtung für die digital vorliegende Matrix der bildtragenden Stellen verbunden. Die Polarisationseinrichtung 6 ist wie die Löscheinrichtung 4 traversierend oder über die gesamte Breite des Druckformzylinders 1 reichend angeordnet. 2 shows the process step polarization of the new image-bearing locations 3 ′ of the semiconductor surface 2. The new image-bearing points 3 'of a new print job are polarized by means of a polarization device 6.
Polarization means that the polarized points 5 are made receptive to the toner 7 to be applied later. The polarization device 6 is connected to a storage device (not shown) for the digital matrix of the image-bearing points. Like the extinguishing device 4, the polarization device 6 is arranged traversing or extending over the entire width of the printing form cylinder 1.

In einem weiteren Verfahrensschnitt, in Fig. 3 dargestellt, wird auf die Halbleiteroberfläche 2 des Druckformzylinders 1 Toner 7 aufgebracht. Der Toner 7 ist vorzugsweise pulverförmig, kann aber auch pastös oder flüssig sein. An den polarisierten Stellen 5 haftet der Toner 7, an den nichtpolarisierten Stellen 8 kann der Toner nicht haften, d. h. diese Stellen bleiben frei von Toner. Das Aufbringen von Toner 7 erfolgt mittels einer Einrichtung zum Aufbringen von Toner 9. Diese Einrichtung ist wie die Polarisationseinrichtung traversierend oder über die gesamte Breite des Druckformzylinders 1 angeordnet.In a further method section, shown in FIG. 3, the semiconductor surface 2 is of the printing form cylinder 1 toner 7 applied. The toner 7 is preferably powdery, but can also be pasty or liquid. The toner 7 adheres to the polarized points 5 the toner cannot adhere to the non-polarized areas 8, i. H. these positions remain vacant of toner. The toner 7 is applied by means of an application device of toner 9. This device, like the polarization device, is traversing or over arranged the entire width of the printing form cylinder 1.

In Fig. 4 ist der letzte Verfahrensschnitt dargestellt. Mittels einer Verfestigungseinrichtung 10 werden die an den polarisierten Stellen 5 der Halbleiteroberfläche haftenden Tonerpartikel verfestigt. Die verfestigten Tonerpartikel sind nunmehr identisch mit dem bildtragenden Stellen 3'. Die Druckform ist nach Abschluß dieses Verfahrensschrittes für den Druckprozess vorbereitet. The last process section is shown in FIG. 4. By means of a consolidation device 10 become the toner particles adhering to the polarized points 5 of the semiconductor surface solidified. The solidified toner particles are now identical to the image-bearing ones Digits 3 '. After the completion of this process step, the printing form is for the printing process prepared.
