  • the high-pressure method is known, in which the printing elements of the printing form are raised, while the non-printing parts are recessed. These include, for example, the book printing and the so-called flexo or anil impression.
  • planographic printing processes are known in which the printing elements and the non-printing parts of the printing form lie substantially in one plane. These include the offset printing but also more known in the art field methods such. B. the lithography.
  • the inked drawing on the printing plate is not printed directly on the printing substrate, but is first transferred to a blanket cylinder or blanket and then the substrate is first printed on it.
  • a blanket cylinder or blanket If in the following of printing material is mentioned, but both the actual substrate, i. the material to be printed, as well as any transfer means, e.g. a rubber cylinder, to be understood.
  • a third method is the so-called gravure printing process, in which the printing elements of the printing form are recessed. These include a number of manual techniques, such as: B. the copper engraving and the etching. An industrially applied gravure printing process is the gravure printing.
  • a through-printing method which is sometimes also referred to as a screen printing method, is known in which the ink is transferred to the printing material at the printing sites through sieve-like openings of the printing form.
  • printers are already used, which are generally connected to an electronic data processing system. These generally use digitally controllable printing systems that are capable of printing individual pressure dots as needed. Such printing systems use different methods with different printing substances on different substrates. Some examples of digitally controllable printing systems are: laser printers, thermal printers and inkjet printers. Digital printing processes are characterized by the fact that they do not require printing forms.
  • a laser beam On the side facing away from the film of the ink carrier for printing a laser beam is directed, which penetrates the ink carrier to an absorption layer on the ink-facing side of the ink carrier.
  • the laser beam triggers an acoustic pulse on this absorption layer which causes a transfer of an ink droplet from the ink carrier to the printing material.
  • a cylindrical body which preferably rotates about its own axis.
  • the substrate z.
  • paper plastic film, metal foil, but also rigid materials such as glass or metal, moved past with a transport speed which corresponds approximately to the peripheral speed of the cylindrical body.
  • the peripheral speed of the cylindrical body can also be greater than the feed speed of the printing material.
  • the energy is first transferred from the energy-emitting device into a mediating material and subsequently from the mediating material to the printing substance.
  • the mediating material is preferably a light-absorbing material, which is advantageously arranged in the form of a layer on the ink carrier.
  • the energy transfer from the switching material to the printing substance can be done for example by transfer of heat energy. D. h. That is first heated by the energy-emitting device at the relevant desired location, the switching material, which in turn emits heat energy to the printing substance.
  • the energy transfer takes place by a momentum transfer. Ie.
  • a position and / or volume change of the material is induced within the mediating material, so that a pulse is transmitted to the printing substance by the movement or expansion of the mediating material.
  • the energy absorbing layer is optimally adapted to the absorption of the energy beam, so that the energy to be used for the transmission of a pressure point can be further lowered.
  • the inventive method is not necessarily a printing forme in the classical sense necessary.
  • the cylindrical ink carrier with depressions forming a printing plate, the so-called wells, which are applied substantially on the outer surface of the ink carrier, but having a connection with each other, so that the printing substance, which is located in adjacent recesses who has a connection.
  • the replacement does not have to be done solely because of the induced energy, but it is sufficient if the printing material is sufficiently close to the printing substance approached, completely, if the induced energy position change of the printing substance, so that by the local collection of the printing substance This touches the substrate and it comes thereby to the detachment.
  • the "printing form” is formed due to the inertia of the remaining printing substance quasi of the surrounding printing substance.
  • the thickness of the pressure point can be adjusted here preferably via the variation of the laser energy and / or via the variation of the pulse length.

  • the resolution of the printing process can therefore be set almost arbitrarily.
  • the positioning of the pressure point can be freely selected.
  • the known method according to DE 197 46 174 only defined positions, namely the positions of the wells, are available. Even if, with a good resolution, the number of wells on the color carrier can well be more than 100 million, the dot pattern and the size of the points are predetermined by such a color carrier.
  • a distance between ink carrier and printing material or printing substance on the ink carrier and printing substrate is maintained, which is preferably at least 10 microns, more preferably about 50 microns.
  • the printing material does not touch the "printing form" or the ink carrier. This has the advantage that expensive squeegee devices are not needed.
  • the pulse length of the laser pulse used is less than 1 ⁇ s, preferably less than 500 ns, more preferably between 100 to 200 ns. Due to the very short pulse length (with sufficient total energy), the laser energy is very well localized and thus achieves a clean printing of pressure points, without the capillary forces of a continuous film-forming printing substance have a negative impact.
  • laser pulses with a pulse duration of a few femtoseconds have already been used.
  • a laser beam is focused on the color carrier or in the printing substance. If the laser light is absorbed, heat is generated in the printing substance, which causes the solvent to evaporate almost abruptly and some of the printing substance is thrown off the ink carrier. In order for the process to function optimally, care must be taken that the energy from the laser beam into the printing substance is fast and efficient is transmitted precisely. This energy transfer can be achieved either by using printing inks that are not absorbing for the laser beam, z. As pigmented paints, done because the laser light is absorbed directly on the pigment surface of the printing substance, or it must be provided an absorption layer, which initially absorbs the laser light and then transfers the energy to the printing substance.
  • the Lichstraht is not directed at the printing machine according to claim 13 through the ink carrier, but directed by the printing substance-prone side of the ink carrier on the absorption layer.
  • the light beam is initially directed through the (non-absorbing) printing substance and then impinges on the absorption layer. It has surprisingly been found that in such an arrangement, the risk of detachment of the absorption layer of the ink carrier is significantly reduced.
  • the direction of movement of the energy-absorbing ink droplet only very weakly depends on the angle at which the light beam impinges on the surface of the printing substance. It is therefore not absolutely necessary, as in the above-described embodiment, the case that the color carrier opposite a translucent transfer means is arranged, through which the light beam is passed, so that it impinges approximately perpendicular to the surface of the printing substance.

  • an absorption layer is arranged on the ink carrier, which preferably has a thickness of less than 10 .mu.m, preferably less than 5 .mu.m, more preferably less than 1 .mu.m or even better less than 0.5 .mu.m is.
  • color carrier surfaces are still considered to be "substantially smooth" in the sense of the present invention, in contrast to surfaces specifically provided with macroscopic depressions (cups or grooves) or elevations.
  • 'print' a plurality of color layers in succession. Characterized in that the surface of the ink carrier is not completely smooth, the ink carrier is able to absorb an increased amount of printing substance. The 'printing' of a point then has the consequence that at the same place enough printing substance remains on the ink carrier to print more pressure points.
  • the printing form may be in the form of a net, so that so-called meshes are provided instead of cells or grooves.

  • the laser beam 7 is focused through the transparent glass cylinder, which here merely serves as transfer means, through the printing ink 8 onto the absorption layer 10 applied to the ink carrier 2 at the point 9.
  • the absorption layer 10 absorbs at least part of the energy from the laser beam 7 and forwards it into the printing substance 8. This leads to a sudden local heating of the printing ink and an ink droplet 11 is explosively dissolved out of the ink layer 8. This ink drop 11 reaches the glass cylinder 12. In this way, a glass cylinder could be printed. In general, however, should be printed on non-transparent substrates 34, so that the placed on the glass cylinder 12 pressure point must be transferred to the substrate 34.
  • FIG. 9 schematically shows the structure of a printing press using the arrangement just described.
  • a laser beam 7 is focused through the glass cylinder 12 onto the optionally provided with an absorption layer 10 ink carrier 2, which is formed here in roll form.
  • the ink carrier 2 equipped with a printing plate 1 so can Touch glass cylinder 12 and ink carrier 2.
  • the ink carrier does not have a specially designed printing form 1, but is merely wetted by the printing substance 8, then, as described above, glass cylinders 12 and ink carrier 2 should be spaced apart from one another.
  • the ink carrier 2 is integrated in an inking unit 20 which, in addition to the ink carrier 2, also has a dipping roller 19 and a printing substance bath 8.
  • the fountain roller 19 dives with its outer contour in the printing substance 8 a. If the fountain roller 19 is rotated, this ensures that the surface of the fountain roller 19 is afflicted with printing substance.
  • the fountain roller is at least so far approximated to the ink carrier 2, that a transfer of the printing substance 8 from the fountain roller 19 takes place on the print substrate 2.
  • the inking unit 20 is thus ensured that at any time printing substance 8 is located on the surface of the ink carrier 2. If the laser beam now drifts onto the surface of the ink carrier 2, a change in volume and / or position of the printing substance 8 is induced locally, either directly or via an absorption layer 8, so that a drop of printing substance 8 is transferred from the ink carrier 2 to the glass cylinder 12
  • the glass cylinder is rotated in the arrangement shown in Figure 9 in a clockwise direction, so that the surface portion of the glass cylinder 12 was transferred to the pressure drops, at some point with the running between the support cylinder 35 and glass cylinder 12 printing material 34 comes into contact. Similar to the offset printing, therefore, the ink is first positioned on the glass cylinder 12 and positioned on the actual substrate 34 in a subsequent step.
  • a cleaning roller 14 is advantageously used with which the glass cylinder 12 is cleaned.
  • the laser beam 7 encloses an angle ⁇ with the normal on the color carrier surface. It has surprisingly been found that the angle ⁇ between the ink carrier surface and the direction of the dissolved from the printing ink ink dot is almost independent of the angle ⁇ .
  • the printing substrate 34 approximates the ink carrier 2, the laser beam 7 being laterally concentrated between the printing substrate 34 and the ink carrier 2 on the focal point 9 in the absorption layer 10 or the printing substance 8 in order to print a printing dot.
  • a drop 11 of the printing substance 8 undergoes a change in volume and / or position due to the evolution of heat in the printing substance 8, so that it leaves the printing substance film 8 almost perpendicular to the ink carrier surface.
  • FIGS. 11 a) and 11 b an example of a printing machine is shown which implements the laser arrangement just described.
  • a ink fountain roller 2 is integrated in an inking unit, which in addition to the ink fountain roller 2, the transfer roller 36 and the storage bath with ink 8 comprises. With the help of the inking unit ensures that the ink fountain roller 2 is always wetted on its surface with printing substance 8.
  • the laser beam 7 is directed directly onto the printing substance or the absorption layer on the ink fountain roller 2. In contrast to the previously described arrangements, the laser beam 7 is not initially guided through a transparent body, so that it impinges perpendicular to the surface of the printing substance on this or the underlying absorption layer.
  • the laser beam 7 impinges on the absorption layer of the ink carrier roller 2, which is inked continuously with an ink which is transparent to the laser beam.
  • the focus of the laser beam 7 is projected at a certain angle on the surface of the ink roller. This angle is advantageously chosen so that the distance between the focus point and substrate is optimal.
  • the laser beam is guided line by line in the manner described above the inking roller and transmitted by switching on and off the laser, the information or the pressure points.
  • the laser is on, the laser light is absorbed in the absorption layer, the solvent evaporates in the ink, and it is locally induced a change in volume and / or position of the printing substance, so that the resulting ink droplets sets the desired pressure point.
  • the web support roller guides the substrate so that the distance between the substrate and the focal point is as small as possible, but the substrate neither interrupts the laser beam nor touches the ink roller.
  • the ink carrier roller 2 has a smaller diameter than the web support roller 35.
  • a digital printing method is provided which permits printing or printing of virtually all imaginable printing substances or substrates.
  • conductive coatings or corrosive substances can be applied to printed circuit boards.
  • Another application is rapid prototyping.
  • the ink rollers can be made of almost all materials, preferably metal or ceramic. Furthermore, they may be porous or have rough surfaces.
