Definitions
- the invention relates to a method in which print data the picture elements of one to be printed on the carrier material Define print image.
- print image As a hydraulic fluid water-based or solvent-based colored liquids used.
- the carrier material is, for example white paper or plastic wrap.
- the print data included one or more bit positions per picture element. For example the value one in a bit position indicates that a black picture element is to be printed. The value Zero in a bit position indicates that on the picture element no hydraulic fluid should be applied.
- the picture element retains the color of the carrier material.
- thermoelectric printing unit for transferring an ink known on a record carrier.
- the printing unit contains a printing drum with printing elements arranged in a matrix, which each have a recess for receiving Ink included.
- the ink gets into the wells from the outside brought in.
- thermoelectric inkjet described in which ink is heated in wells is what their surface tension and volume changes. The ink flows in opposite to a recording medium ordered extensions. One yourself there forming meniscus colors the record carrier.
- thermoelectric from US-A-4,675,694 Ink printing unit known, heated in the solid ink becomes.
- the ink that has become liquid expands and wets a record carrier depending on the character.
- thermoelectric ink printing unit described with a Hollow roller with recesses arranged in a matrix.
- a laser creates a gas bubble in the ink produces, whereupon the ink expands and a recording medium wetted.
- a printing device and a Print roller specified to carry out the process are suitable.
- the invention is based on the knowledge that at a change in the surface tension of a liquid, which is adjacent to a solid, one through which Interfacial tension between the surface of the liquid and contact surface and by the contact surface itself Contact angle also changes. Is the Liquid in a vessel, forcing the change of the Contact angle a change in curvature on the liquid surface.
- the change in curvature has the consequence that at least partial areas of the surface around a certain one Move difference path, e.g. Raise or lower.
- the difference way depends on the vessel size and is, for example 10 ⁇ m to 30 ⁇ m with a print resolution of 600 dpi (dots per inch).
- the carrier material is on one Pick-up unit for transporting the hydraulic fluid for the individual picture elements or becomes the carrier material arranged at a distance from the hydraulic fluid, that corresponds to the difference path, so it depends on the surface tension with a large contact angle or large curvature for wetting and thus for coloring of the carrier material when the hydraulic fluid moved up to the carrier material. Is the contact angle or the curvature is small, however, so the carrier material not reached by the hydraulic fluid. A wetting does not occur and the carrier material retains its basic color in the opposite of the hydraulic fluid Area at.
- This principle is used in the method according to the invention when printing a picture element depending on one to the relevant image element the print date belonging to the surface tension a hydraulic fluid affected. That too printing carrier material becomes the printing fluid in a distance at which hydraulic fluid with a first surface tension wetted the carrier material and with the hydraulic fluid with one of the first Surface tension deviating second surface tension the carrier material is not wetted.
- the inventive Procedure to change the Surface tension requires far less energy than that Accelerate a drop of ink.
- the process fluid arrives after wetting of the carrier material due to the adhesive effect between Carrier material and hydraulic fluid to the carrier material.
- the first surface tension is greater than the second Surface tension. Which is at the first surface tension resulting surface curvature is greater than the resultant at the second surface tension Curvature.
- the hydraulic fluid at the first surface tension further out than with the second surface tension.
- the first surface tension has a first Value at which the surface of the hydraulic fluid bulges outwards.
- the second surface tension has against it a value at which the surface of the hydraulic fluid is flat or even curved inwards. The direction the curvature is seen from inside the liquid.
- the difference in this training is very large, so that it is possible to enlarge the support material Distance from a vessel to hold the hydraulic fluid passing out. This will result in an abrasion of the carrier material and avoid wear on the edges of the vessel.
- the surface tension is changed in that the Temperature of the hydraulic fluid is changed.
- the warming the liquid usually leads to a decrease the surface tension.
- Flash lamps laser beams or laser diodes are used. Evaporation when changing the temperature in the Fluid additives containing hydraulic fluid, e.g. Surfactants, this leads to an increase in the surface tension.
- Surfactants are surfactants, which lower the surface tension. To increase the surface tension consequently it happens when these liquid additives be removed.
- the surfactants can evaporate already forced by a relatively small change in temperature become.
- By removing the liquid additives the surface tension increases more than it does through the Warming drops. This is the opposite process So the increase in surface tension that leads to a Increasing the contact angle and thus increasing the Curvature on the surface of the hydraulic fluid leads.
- the surface tension by changing the ionization in the hydraulic fluid changed.
- the ionization can be done by the Introducing ionized particles or by electromagnetic Change fields. Changing ionization also allows the use of heat sensitive Hydraulic fluids.
- the method according to the invention becomes the surface tension of a given volume the hydraulic fluid changed.
- the given Volume can be the printing fluid to be used per picture element be specified precisely.
- the volume is at a next embodiment so dimensioned that it on an image element with the color of the printing fluid to be applied Volume pressure fluid corresponds.
- the entire specified hydraulic fluid is used. This leads to an economical printing process. A collection of hydraulic fluid not required is not required.
- the volume through the Given the volume of a recess that's it Filling the volume is easy because of the hydraulic fluid runs over the edge of the well once the well is filled with hydraulic fluid.
- the depression is the one to be used for each picture element Amount of liquid precisely specified and independent of the Print speed. Since the hydraulic fluid after a Wipe off any excess liquid that protrudes beyond the recess localized by the edge of the depression , the boundaries of the picture elements can be exactly pretend.
- the depression forms a vessel that is very good is suitable to change the surface tension the largest possible path of difference on the surface the hydraulic fluid.
- the depressions are arranged in a matrix, preferably on a drum-shaped surface.
- the Resolution of the printing device i.e. the Number of picture elements to be printed per unit area.
- the surface tension by the action of a the opening of the depression into the interior of the depression directed radiation source affected is the surface tension by the action of a the opening of the depression into the interior of the depression directed radiation source affected.
- This training is based on the knowledge that the Surface tension changes only with a certain inertia.
- the surface tension remains unchanged, so that dependent wetted by the surface tension of the carrier material becomes or remains unwetted.
- the radiation from the radiation source reaches the liquid surface in this training without first passing through the liquid.
- the direct irradiation of the surface results in that there are liquid additives on the surface of the liquid influence with a small amount of energy to let.
- the liquid additives are surfactants, that evaporate when the temperature rises slightly.
- the radiation source is in this training arranged outside the vessel for the hydraulic fluid. As a result, there are no internals in the material of the vessel are necessary for supplying the energy.
- the next step is the surface tension with the help of a time and location controllable Radiation source changed. If the radiation source is in accordance clocked at a time interval, so the Surface tension set for different picture elements become. Are several radiation sources side by side arranged, so can the surface tensions at the same time different picture elements can be set. With a combination of timed and locally controlled Radiation source can be the printing speed increase using reasonable clock rates if, for example Radiation sources for exposing the picture elements two or more lines arranged in a row are and operated simultaneously.
- a smaller surface tension depending on the Print data is increased.
- Increasing the surface tension can be implemented in a simple manner, for example by evaporation of contained in the hydraulic fluid Surfactants or by introducing ions into the Hydraulic fluid. In this configuration, the surface tension not be reduced during printing.
- methods are also used in which the pressure fluid for all picture elements first one has greater surface tension and then depending on the Print data is decreased when certain printing fluids be used where reducing the Surface tension is easier to do than that Increase the surface tension.
- the task relating to a printing device is accomplished by a printing device with the features of the claim 15 solved.
- the printing device according to the invention serves to carry out the method and its further training.
- the above stated apply technical effects also for the printing device.
- the printing device contains a unit for changing the surface tension a source of radiation, thermal radiation and / or electromagnetic radiation and / or particle radiation generated. Is the unit for changing the Surface tension outside the acquisition unit for the Pressure fluid arranged, so this receiving unit just be set up.
- the invention also relates to a Pressure roller for applying a hydraulic fluid. On the Printing roller are matrix-shaped recesses for receiving arranged the hydraulic fluid.
- the print roller is free from institutions assigned to individual wells Influencing a physical property of the hydraulic fluid in the respective specialization. That means, that there are no heating elements or within the pressure roller similar elements for energy supply exist.
- the print roller can be made homogeneously from a uniform material.
- the surface of the pressure roller can be in areas where there are no depressions, with a hydrophobic Coating to be coated with a wetting Prevent pressure fluid at these points.

- the wells are all constructed the same way, so that in the following only the Structure of the recess 12 is explained.
- the recess 12 is in the form of a truncated cone trained (see outline 20) and thus has a circular shape Cross-sections.
- the axis of the truncated cone is in the direction the normal of the surface 8.
- the frustoconical Outline 20 tapers with increasing distance from the Surface 8 of the pressure roller 10.
- a bottom surface 24 of the Well 12 has a smaller diameter than that on the surface of the pressure roller 10 lying opening 26 of the Indentation 12.
- the circumference of the opening 26 lies on a Circle and gives the shape of the picture elements to be printed in front.
- a circumferential side wall of the recess 12 is oblique arranged to the surface 8 of the pressure roller 10.
- Through the frustoconical formation of the recess 12 is that Filling a colored ink 30 easier.
- frustoconical Circular cross-section depressions are also depressions with elliptical or polygonal cross section used.
- the ink 30 is within the depression, so it is caused by capillary forces within the depression 12 held.
- the capillary forces are greater than those on the Ink 30 has a gravitational pull so that the ink 30 also remains within the recess 12 when the opening 26 is directed downwards, i.e. to the center of the earth.
- its surface has 32 a surface tension that results in a concave curvature leads, i.e. surface 32 of ink 30 is inward arched.
- the surface 32 is in a state I, in which a contact angle RI has a value of approximately 45 ° Has.
- the contact angle 30 lies between a vector V1 Surface tension on surface 30 and the sidewall 28.

- the ink 34 also had an inwardly curved, ie concave surface after being filled into the depression 14.
- one of the measures explained below with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4 increased the surface tension of the ink 34, as a result of which the surface 36 bulged outwards.
- a contact angle RII between a surface tension vector VII and the side wall of the depression 14 has a value of a little over 90 °.
- the vector VII begins on the side wall of the depression 14 and runs in the direction of the surface tension of the surface 36.
- the starting point of the surface tension vector VII lies at the boundary between the pressure fluid 34 and the side wall of the depression 14.
- a central region 38 of the surface 36 protrudes above the surface 8 of the printing roller 10 by a distance B. If the depression 14 is guided past the paper to be printed at a distance which is smaller than the distance B, the paper is wetted.
- the adhesive forces between the paper and the printing fluid 34 are greater than the capillary forces between the printing fluid 34 and the depression 14. Therefore, the entire printing fluid 34 is sucked out of the depression 14 and colors an area on the paper that is provided for a pixel.

- eine nach dem Abtastprinzip arbeitende Bestrahlungseinheit zum Verändern der Oberflächenspannung der Druckflüssigkeit.
An Hand einer Druckflüssigkeit 34 innerhalb der Vertiefung 14 soll im folgenden erläutert werden, wie sich ein Zustand II der Oberfläche 36 der Tinte 34 auf den Druckvorgang auswirkt. Auch die Tinte 34 hatte nach dem Einfüllen in die Vertiefung 14 eine nach innen gewölbte, d.h. konkave Oberfläche. Durch eine der unten an Hand der Figuren 2 bis 4 erläuterten Maßnahmen wurde die Oberflächenspannung der Tinte 34 jedoch erhöht, wodurch sich die Oberfläche 36 nach außen gewölbt hat. Ein Randwinkel RII zwischen einem Oberflächenspannungsvektor VII und der Seitenwand der Vertiefung 14 hat einen Wert von etwas über 90°. Der Vektor VII beginnt an der Seitenwand der Vertiefung 14 und verläuft in Richtung der Oberflächenspannung der Oberfläche 36. Der Startpunkt des Oberflächenspannungsvektors VII liegt an der Grenze zwischen Druckflüssigkeit 34 und der Seitenwand der Vertiefung 14. Ein mittlerer Bereich 38 der Oberfläche 36 ragt über die Oberfläche 8 der Druckwalze 10 um einen Abstand B hinaus. Wird die Vertiefung 14 an zu druckendem Papier in einem Abstand vorbeigeführt, der kleiner als der Abstand B ist, so kommt es zu einem Benetzen des Papiers. Die Adhäsionskräfte zwischen Papier und Druckflüssigkeit 34 sind größer als die Kapillarkräfte zwischen Druckflüssigkeit 34 und Vertiefung 14. Deshalb wird die gesamte Druckflüssigkeit 34 aus der Vertiefung 14 abgesaugt und färbt einen Bereich auf dem Papier ein, der für einen Bildpunkt vorgesehen ist.
An einer Position P3 befindet sich eine Rakel 64, mit der die Oberfläche der Druckwalze 10a überstrichen wird, so daß keine Tinte außerhalb der Vertiefungen auf der Oberfläche der Druckwalze 10a verbleibt. Nach dem Überstreichen mit der Rakel 64 hat die Tinte in allen Vertiefungen jeweils eine nach innen gewölbte Oberfläche.
