Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and an apparatus for producing a Printing form according to claims 1 and 21.
- the printing form it can z. B. act as a flexible or flexographic printing plate, the high pressure or Gravure form can work.
- a conventional CO 2 laser to burn material directly out of a printing plate, which can be a polymer plate, for example, in order to produce a relief in this way in the printing plate in order to produce a flexographic printing plate.
- the CO 2 laser is permanently power-modulated in order to obtain recesses in the surface of the printing plate that limit the relief.
- the prior art also includes methods for inserting small halftone dots to lower a relief. This happens because of focused rays striking each other in corresponding areas and that Remove material in accordance with the focused course of the rays.
- the result is a kind of cone, the cone tip of which is more or less is deep in relief. Will later be printed below the printing form an offer arranged, so a kind of pad, so can through this pad the cone tip can be raised again in the area of the pressure surface. Printing material adheres poorly to this cone tip, so that an unclean print image results.
- Cone tips representing halftone dots this type z. B. provided in the area of solid areas to the To be able to better emphasize solid areas in later printing.
- the invention has for its object a method for producing a Specify printing form, in particular a flexographic printing form with which have fine relief structures to be produced during subsequent printing be made in such a way that they lead to a perfect printed image. Beyond that created a corresponding device for producing such printing forms become.
- One method of making a printing form is in the surface of a printing blank, a relief is introduced in that material of Printing form blanks removed along traces by radiation to form recesses between which plateaus come to rest. According to the invention, there is now also between the recesses lying surface of the printing form blank by radiation so ablated that lower plateaus are obtained.
- the depth of the lower lying plateaus the surface lying between the recesses of the printing form blank in accordance with its intensity or performance adapted radiation are removed. So should those between the Recesses lying plateaus are burned away over a greater depth, the intensity or power of the beam must be increased, and vice versa.
- the Depth of the lower plateaus is the one between the recesses Surface of the printing form blank also removed by repeated irradiation become.
- This repeated irradiation of the printing form blank in the area the plateaus for generating the lower lying plateaus thus take place staggered in time or one after the other, so that a lower lying plateau virtually is obtained by repeatedly peeling off the printing plate material.
- the beam power be relatively small, which means that even very fast modulators can be used to switch the beam power on and off, when using the beam power must be limited, to prevent the modulators from being destroyed, such as acousto-optic modulators.
- the printing plate material after each removal process cools down again before it is removed again, which leads to that the printing form material does not heat up so much in the plateau region and thus the relief is extremely precise and true to form can be.
- the material can be removed between the individual burning processes also be dissipated, e.g. B. be sucked off, which is a more accurate Working at the next removal process enables and better quality Structures leads.
- Irradiation of the plateaus along a respective track can also occur and the same beam that is repeatedly guided along a track becomes. But it is also possible that the irradiation along a track with several Rays are carried out, which are guided in succession along the same track.
- several beams can be juxtaposed in one direction be arranged horizontally, which runs transversely to the longitudinal direction of the track, if there is a corresponding relative shift between trace and rays he follows.
- several beams can also be juxtaposed in one direction be used lying, which runs in the longitudinal direction of the track.
- the depth of the lower one Plateaus can be set differently depending on their location in relief. So z. B. the depth of the lower plateaus towards one full area lying in the surface of the printing form blank to ensure that when printing later the near the full area existing deeper plateaus only raised into the printing area if there is an offer or underlay under the full surface located.
- the printing blank is irradiated with laser radiation, because in this way the required radiation energy can be easily provided.
- laser radiation In this regard focused laser radiation are used.
- the Beams or laser beams are moved relative to the printing form blank, or the procedure is such that the printing form blank is relatively stationary Blasting is moved.

- FIG. 11 shows a cross section through a flexographic printing forme, which is a larger one Has full surface U, which is surrounded by a grid of points, the through several small mountain-like structures with plateaus P2a, P2b, P2c and P2d is formed, which are separated from one another by recesses V.
- the full surface U lies in the surface 2 of the printing form blank 1, while plateaus P2a, P2b, P2c and P2c lie below surface 2, and the closer they are to the full surface U, the deeper.
- the printing form shown in Figure 11 for the purpose of printing on the Surface of a roller 53 is placed, and is between the full surface U and Roller 53 a pad 54 (addition) arranged, the printing form in Area of the full surface U is relatively strongly compressed when this against a Printing surface 55 is pressed.
- the pad 54 is limited to the area of the full surface U, the pressing force against the pressure surface 55 being so is chosen that the surface 2 lying outside the full surface U of the Printing form just comes into contact with printing surface 55 and is practical is not pressed or only slightly. Due to the existence of the document 54 of course, the lower lying plateaus during the pressing process P2a, P2b, P2c and P2d increased, the latter more than the former.
