Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for correcting local, machine-related dyeing errors on rotary printing presses, which can occur as striping, color waste or as stenciling in the finished printed product whose quality.
  • the offset printing process does not offer the possibility of uniformly coloring a printed sheet or coloring the screen dots with a constant layer thickness for a given subject.
  • the inking of the printing form mounted on the circumference of a plate cylinder is effected continuously via an offset printing unit with a color film which has previously been reduced to a specific ink film thickness by a multiplicity of friction or bridge rollers.
  • the color decrease takes place discontinuously, because on the one hand, the color decrease is dependent on the subject and on the other hand, the peripheral surfaces of the printing plate receiving plate cylinder is discontinuous by the clamping channels.
  • Disturbances in the color transfer for example, at the interface of the inking unit to the surface of the color cylinder to the transfer cylinder plate cylinder, at the interface between the printing forme cylinder and transfer cylinder surfaces and at the interface between the surface of the transfer cylinder, which is usually given by a rubber blanket-like elevator, with the printing substrate lead to non-uniformities, which can affect both the transferred ink layer thicknesses as well as with respect to the grid areas on the generated dot size.
  • the resulting effects are banding, ink drop in the printing direction and stenciling effects.
  • the connections between these phenomena in the inking unit are quite complex and can not be viewed in isolation from each other.
  • the inking unit is optimized in terms of the effects mentioned.
  • the selection of suitable transfer elevator surfaces, such as blankets, acting as transfer cylinder elevators allows the occurrence of dynamically induced streaks to be reduced.
  • a targeted local correction of inking color irregularities in the print is not achievable with these measures.
  • a method for the production of printing forms which makes a correction of halftone dots in the exposure of a printing plate depending on Tonwertstörssenn.
  • the method is used to correct partial areas, so-called benefits, on printing forms to a normal tone value, if deviations are to be expected in certain areas due to disturbances in the printing press. This ensures that the individual faces on the printing form have the same tonal values. This is important because the faces usually have the same print image as the benefit, so the benefits cut later would have a different appearance if tone differences persisted between each benefit.
  • the equalization of the benefits among each other ensures that they are indistinguishable from each other and that the entire print production is colored identically.
  • the object of the invention is to locally correct machine-related coloring errors.
  • machine-specific properties can be maintained not only in global form but locally depending on the location of their occurrence as a function of the halftone tone values and thus significantly increase the quality of the printed product to be produced.
  • the inking behavior of the printing units is determined by means of test forms for the maximum format.
  • the determination for the maximum format offers the advantage of being able to use this as a reference or reference printed product and from this to be able to convert the determined inking irregularities to smaller formats.
  • the inking non-uniformity of the rotary printing press can be ascertained on merely one printing unit.
  • This offers the advantage that only one of several printing units must be selected, so that can be achieved in the calibration of a time advantage within the prepress by merely the evaluation of a printing unit.
  • a multi-color printing machine for example, 4, 6 or 8 printing units connected in series in series, this represents a significant time advantage.
  • the color separations of a printing form can be made depending on the subject in the case of image-dependent dyeing irregularities on the basis of the data of the raster image processor.
  • Subject-dependent staining irregularities occur especially when areas with high halftone tone values and areas with extremely low halftone screen values are in close contact in the print.
  • the determined coloring characteristics of the printing units or of the individual printing units of a multicolour rotary printing machine can be transmitted in the form of a profile to the prepress.
  • the profiles can be transmitted in particular in tabular form, which makes their further processing easier in the increasingly digital pre-press.
  • the solution proposed according to the invention can be used to modify the halftone tone values when specifying the halftone color value fluctuations within the prepress stage during the printing plate production.
  • the modification of the raster tone values during the imaging process in the digital printing form imaging process eg in computer-to-press (direct imaging) imaging in the printing press as well as in the digital exposure of films or printing plates.
  • the inking behavior of a multicolour rotary printing press whose individual printing or finishing plants are connected in series, is sufficiently well known after evaluation of test prints on the basis of previous print jobs.
  • the data available from test prints or already from the preceding print jobs for inking nonuniformities with regard to ink drop in the printing direction, self-adjusting stenciling effects depending on the ink coverage and the banding are coupled by means of the proposed method according to the invention with the data incurred in the printing forme production of each print job to be executed.
  • the inking nonuniformities resulting from the offset process are due to the general effect that, in this printing process, the production of the ink is continuous, but the color decrease of the ink film carrying surfaces within the printing unit is discontinuous.
  • the machine-related errors in the production of printing form in the form of local Rasterertonwertver modus be kept so that they no longer in the print image to be created, which after passing through the substrate by a number of successive printing units in the overlaid printed image of multiple color separations produced or are only partially visible.
  • the inking irregularities that occur are identical from one printing unit to the next, then only one printing unit can be selected for a 2, 4, 6, 8 printing units and one or more finishing units and representative of the other printing units with regard to the transfer of the data to the self-adjusting dyeing nonuniformity be transferred to the prepress. It is irrelevant whether the pre-press works in digital form or whether the individual printing forms or the color separations per printing unit are exposed or produced in a conventional manner with films.
  • the dyeing irregularities occur as a function of the product, as is the case, in particular, with the stenciling effect, then the corrections concerning the dyeing nonuniformities must also be made as a function of the image.
  • the subject is sufficiently well known in the production of the color separations. Since the data for sujser production, i. are known from the imaging of the printing plate in the prepress, it can be determined from the inking irregularities of the printing units of a multicolor rotary printing machine, the corresponding corrections of Därbungsun Dermat and taken into account in the production of the corresponding printing form per printing unit.
  • other effects e.g.
  • the drop in color of the printed product to be produced be independent of theterm.
  • the corrections can be made globally, i. regardless of the print image. This means that in the corresponding printing plate production, the raster tone value generation seen over the print length compensates for the color drop that occurs in the case of the image independently of the printing length, i. holds.
  • the transfer of the coloring characteristics of the individual printing units of a multi-color rotary printing press, or the required corrections, can be transmitted to the prepress in the form of a profile of, for example, a multi-dimensional look-up table. It is conceivable to couple the profile to an ICC profile of the printing machine describing the coloring behavior to which the data to be transferred to the prepress can also be attached in the form of an appendix. If a transfer of the correction data to compensate for the occurring coloring irregularities per printing unit can be standardized, a further processing of this data within the prepress stage in the printing plate production is likewise to be carried out as standard and generates there substantially less effort.
  • the resolution of the dyeing irregularities to be transferred in tabular form can be adapted to the respective occurring error gradients.
  • the color decay, stenciling, streaking effects can also be characterized in detail by occurring amplitude, gradients and the location of their occurrence.
  • the correction of the halftone tone values in screen printing processes can be carried out at the prepress stage at two points of the printing plate production.
  • both planar printing forms and sleeve-shaped printing plates can be exposed.
  • the machine states i. Printing unit states are largely identical when recording the error image and the later printing, if they have influence on the fault location. If there is no influence on the location of the occurring error, it is irrelevant to take into account the respective prevailing machine states when taking the defect image and during subsequent printing.
