Abstract

An offset printing blanket is used in the reproduction of surface structures liable to damage under cylinder pressure. The blanket has a base layer (1) in contact with the print cylinder, an intermediate compressible layer (2) incorporating fine gas pores (5), and an outer layer (3) in contact with the print web. Under compression during the print run the compressible (2) and contact layers (3) spread to cover and effect uniform pressure on the print web surface. The compressible layer has closed pores. Under a calibration pressure of 1350 kPa the compressible layer reduces in thickness by 20-50 per cent i.e. 0.45 to 0.9 mm. The printing blanket is pref. 2.5 to 3.0 mm thick. The compressible layer is 1-2 mm thick. The ratio of outer layer to intermediate layer thickness is in the range 1: 2.5 to 1:7. The outer layer has a Shore hardness of 55 ShA. The compensation layer (7) incorporates a fabric with stretch factor of more than 7 per cent under a load of 500N/5cm.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Drucktuch für Offset-Druck-Anwendungen, vorzugsweise für den Einsatz zum Bedrucken von oberflächenstrukturierten und insbesondere deformationsgefährdeten Bedruckmaterialien gemäß Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a printing blanket for offset printing applications, preferably for use in the printing of surface textured and especially printing materials at risk of deformation according to the generic term of claim 1.

Drucktücher sind in der Vergangenheit immer wieder speziellen Einsatzfällen angepasst worden. Schwierigkeiten dabei entstehen immer dann, wenn die auf das Drucktuch wirkende, vom Druckzylinder ausgehende Reaktionskraft im Zeitverlauf nicht stetig ist, was regelmäßig beim Bedrucken von strukturiertem Bedruckmaterial der Fall ist. Des Weiteren existieren Bedruckmaterialien wie Kartonagen, Wellpappe oder dergleichen, bei denen im Zusammenhang mit dem Druckvorgang Kräfte auftreten, die zu Formänderungen dieser Bedruckmaterialien führen, wodurch das Druckergebnis beispielsweise hinsichtlich eines registerhaltigen Druckes über die gesamte Fläche negativ beeinflusst wird.Printing blankets have always been special applications in the past been adjusted. Difficulties always arise when on the printing blanket acting reaction force from the printing cylinder in Time course is not steady, which is regular when printing structured Printing material is the case. There are also printing materials such as Cardboard, corrugated cardboard or the like, in connection with which Printing process forces occur which lead to changes in the shape of these printing materials lead, whereby the printing result, for example with regard to a register pressure over the entire area is negatively affected.

In der DE 30 27 549 A1 ist ein Drucktuch aus einem elastischen, zusammendrückbaren Druckelement mit geschlossenzelligem Schaum beschrieben. Der Aufbau eines solchen Drucktuches läßt eine Eignung für den Lithographiedruck erkennen, dagegen ist es für Anwendungen zum Bedrucken von strukturierten Oberflächen nicht einsetzbar, wenn hohe Qualitätsanforderungen zu erfüllen sind.DE 30 27 549 A1 describes a printing blanket made of an elastic, compressible pressure element with closed-cell foam described. The construction of such a blanket makes it suitable for Recognize lithographic printing, however, it is for printing applications of structured surfaces cannot be used if high quality requirements are to be fulfilled.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Drucktuch für den Offsetdruck bereitzustellen, mit dem spezielle Anwendungsfälle hinsichtlich der Auswahl des betreffenden Bedruckmaterials erschlossen werden.

Lokale Unebenheiten des Bedruckmaterials führen, wenn überhaupt, nur zu geringen Unterschieden in der Druckpressung. Damit wird ein gleichmäßiges Druckergebnis gewährleistet.The invention is associated with the advantage that as a result of a comparatively highly elastic deformable outer layer and one during the Printing process in the compressed state resilient Intermediate layer the relevant surface areas of the printing blanket with the Printing material come into defined, large-area contact without that Exposing media to forces that cause non-reversible deformation of the printing material would lead. Local bumps of the If at all, the printing material leads to only slight differences in the Printing pressure. This ensures an even print result.

Für die kompressible Zwischenschicht können NBR-Mischungen, Polyurethane oder andere Elastomere zum Einsatz gelangen.For the compressible intermediate layer, NBR mixtures, polyurethanes or other elastomers are used.

Die Basisschicht des Drucktuchs enthält zweckmäßigerweise einen Festigkeitsträger aus Baumwolle. Bevorzugt werden die Festigkeitsträger, die auch aus anderen Materialien bestehen können, in Form von zwei Gewebelagen eingebracht.The base layer of the printing blanket advantageously contains one Reinforcements made of cotton. The strength members are preferred can also consist of other materials, in the form of two layers of fabric brought in.

Das Verhältnis der Dicke der Außenschicht zur Dicke der kompressiblen Zwischenschicht kann 1 : 2,5 bis 1 : 7 betragen.In a further embodiment of the invention, the thickness of the compressible Intermediate layer 1 - 2 mm. The ratio of the thickness of the outer layer to the thickness the compressible intermediate layer can be 1: 2.5 to 1: 7.

Zur Erzielung hochwertiger Druckergebnisse, insbesondere beim Bedrucken deformationsgefährdeter Bedruckmäterialien weist die Außenschicht zweckmäßig eine Shore-Härte kleiner als 55 ShA auf.To achieve high quality printing results, especially when printing The outer layer has deformation-prone printing materials expediently a Shore hardness less than 55 ShA.

Weiterhin kann in die Ausgleichsschicht ein Gewebe mit hoher Dehnung eingelagert sein, wobei die Dehnung vzw. größer als 7% bei einer Belastung von 500N/5cm ist. Furthermore, a fabric with high elongation can be placed in the compensation layer be stored, the expansion vzw. greater than 7% with a load of Is 500N / 5cm.

Das Drucktuch besteht im Wesentlichen aus einer Basisschicht 1, einer kompressiblen Zwischenschicht 2 und einer dem Bedruckmaterial zugewandten Deckgummischicht 3. In die Basisschicht 1 ist ein Festigkeitsträger 4 in Form eines zweilagigen Baumwollgewebes eingebracht. Es können jedoch auch andere Festigkeitsträger wie Folien, Bleche und Gewebe aus anderen Materialien sowie Gewirke Bestandteil der Basisschicht 1 sein. An die Basisschicht 1 schließt sich die kompressible Zwischenschicht 2 an, die gasförmige, in sich abgeschlossene Poren 5 enthält, die eine ausreichend hohe Kompressibilität der Zwischenschicht 2 gewährleisten.The printing blanket essentially consists of a base layer 1, one compressible intermediate layer 2 and one facing the printing material Cover rubber layer 3.
