Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for applying a layer of lacquer to the upper side of a print medium, and a corresponding device.
  • the so-called lamination technique is conventionally used.
  • An adhesive layer is applied to hene cellophane or PVC film is applied to the printed surface of a print medium in order to obtain a high-gloss finish. This method is not easily possible within a printing press.
  • the provided with adhesive PVC or cellophane film is of a
  • dispersion varnish is applied to the still wet, i.e. freshly printed surface of a print medium. Drying under the action of IR rays then takes place over a relatively long distance of 4 to 8 m in length.
  • a matting of the paint surface very often occurs, namely due to dissolving of the paint layer from the color side:
  • the mechanical complexity is also extremely high with this procedure.
  • the corresponding devices with a drying section are correspondingly long, with the result that they can only be installed within correspondingly large buildings or production halls.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of creating a method and a device for applying a layer of lacquer to the upper side of a print medium, which can be applied over an extremely short processing distance
  • the core of the present invention is that within a printing machine by paint corresponding to a cellophane film, a paint film, in particular nitro or UV paint film, produced, this dried or cured under the action of heat and / or UV rays and is then transferred to the (fresh or still wet) printed top of a print medium with simultaneous adhesion to this top. It is easily possible to provide a facon coating, ie a coating only in partial areas of the printed upper side of the print medium. Drying or hardening of the paint gives a film of paint similar to a cellophane film, which does not "flow" with the still wet paint on the print medium.
  • An adhesive in particular a UV adhesive, can be applied to the dried or cured paint film to form a paint-adhesive composite film.
  • the composite film can then be transferred with the adhesive side to the printed top side of the print medium.
  • the adhesive is preferably hardened either immediately after application to the paint film or after the paint-adhesive composite film has been transferred to the upper side of the printing medium, in particular by means of infrared and/or ultrasound.
  • lacquer is applied to a highly polished transfer surface, in particular a ceramic-coated transfer surface, in particular a transfer roller, with the transfer to the upper side of the print medium then taking place in such a way that the side of the lacquer film lying against the highly polished, in particular ceramic surface is the upper or Visible side of the coated print medium defined.
  • a ceramic-coated transfer surface has the advantage that the paint film can be removed without any problems after it has hardened, without disturbing the high-gloss surface of the paint film.
  • Facon varnishing a varnish-adhesive composite film is only produced partially on the transfer surface in order to then be transferred or applied to the desired subregion of the printed upper side of the print medium.
  • the use of adhesive can be omitted if the paint film is set to a predetermined temperature, in particular about 80°-110° C., at which it hardens but is self-adhesive to surfaces at low temperatures, so that it can be transferred directly to the (fresh or still wet) printed top of the print medium with problem-free detachment from the highly polished transfer surface and can be intimately connected to it.
  • the dried or hardened paint film can also be transferred to a printed upper side of the print medium that has already been provided with adhesive.
  • the adhesive can be cured after application to the printed surface of the media. Curing preferably takes place by the action of heat and/or UV rays.
  • a preferred device for carrying out the method according to the invention comprises a paint transfer device intended for producing a paint film, to which a paint transfer station is assigned, with a station for curing the paint, in particular in the form of a heat or UV radiation device, being arranged after the paint transfer station is, and by means of which the paint film produced on it can be transferred to the upper side, namely the printed upper side of the print medium.
  • the paint transfer device comprises a highly polished transfer surface, in particular a ceramic, stainless steel or chrome surface, for the reasons set out above.
  • the paint transfer device is formed by a transfer roller, the surface of which consists either of highly polished stainless steel, chromium or of non-ferrous materials, in particular ceramics.
  • the paint transfer device is assigned an adhesive transfer station downstream of the paint transfer station.
  • the radiation device or a heat or UV radiator is arranged between the two stations. This forms a paint-adhesive composite film that can be transferred to the printed top side of the print medium.
  • an adhesive transfer station for transferring an adhesive film to the upper side of the print medium can also be arranged in front of the lacquer transfer device.
  • the paint film is applied by the paint transfer device to the upper side of the paint, which is already provided with an adhesive film
  • An adhesive hardening device is preferably also arranged between the paint transfer device and the adhesive transfer station.
  • An adhesive drying device is assigned to the paint transfer device downstream of the adhesive transfer station.
  • the adhesive drying device is preferably arranged downstream of the transfer station in which the paint film or the paint-adhesive composite film is applied with its adhesive side to the upper side of the printing medium.
  • the paint film or paint-adhesive composite film is preferably transferred in a gap between the transfer surface and a counter-roller.
  • the paint and, if necessary, the adhesive are applied in a corresponding manner, for example by means of a high-pressure roller, only in some areas of the transfer surface of the paint transfer device.
  • FIG. 1 shows a first exemplary embodiment of a device for transferring a paint-adhesive composite film following a printing unit, in a schematic longitudinal section;
  • FIG. 2 shows a second exemplary embodiment of a device corresponding to FIG. 1, but without a device for applying an adhesive, also in a schematic longitudinal section;
  • FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of the first exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 shows a schematic representation of the second exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2,
  • Fig. 5 shows a schematic representation of a third exemplary embodiment of the device in question here.
  • the reference numeral 1 indicates the output of a printing machine, not shown, to which a painting station 2 connects.
  • Printed sheets 4 that are printed on top are conveyed to the varnishing station 2 in the printing press by a so-called delivery 3, with the delivery 3 having an endlessly circulating conveyor belt 5 has, which transports the printed sheets 4 in the direction of arrow 6.
  • the painting station 2 comprises a housing 7 mounted on height-adjustable feet with a transfer roller 9 driven in rotation about a horizontal axis 10 in the direction of the arrow 11.
  • the peripheral surface 12 of the transfer roller 9 is preferably coated with a highly polished ceramic surface.
  • the peripheral surface 12 of the transfer roller 9 is preferably chromium-coated; However, if required, it can also be ceramic-coated or coated with another comparable material which allows the production of highly polished, closed surfaces, just like chrome or ceramic.
  • UV paint is first applied to the peripheral surface 12, specifically by means of a paint cylinder 13.
  • This is supplied with UV paint from a paint reservoir 16 by a scoop roller 14 and metering roller 15.
  • This construction is a generally known device-technical arrangement.
  • the lacquer applied to the peripheral surface 12 of the transfer roller 9 is cured to form a UV lacquer film, specifically by means of a UV radiator 17 arranged downstream of the lacquer cylinder 13.
  • the UV radiator 17 is followed by an adhesive cylinder 18 which is supplied with adhesive from an adhesive bath 21 by an adhesive scoop roller 19 and an adhesive metering roller 20 in a manner similar to the lacquer cylinder.
  • the adhesive cylinder is followed by an IR radiator 22 for pre-curing the adhesive layer applied to the paint film.
  • the paint-adhesive composite film produced on the peripheral surface 12 of the transfer roller 9 is then in a gap between the transfer roller 9 and the associated backing roller 23 on the upper pressure side of the Sheet 4 applied with intimate connection with the same.
  • the paint is only cured by an IR or UV radiator 17 , the curing or drying taking place on a transfer surface set to approximately 100° C., or here peripheral surface 12 of the transfer roller 9 .
  • the radiator 17 is preferably arranged directly in front of the gap between the transfer roller 9 and the associated backing roller 23 .
  • the aforementioned transfer gap which defines a so-called transfer station 25, is followed by a device for final curing of the paint film and/or adhesive, in particular an ultrasonic generator.
  • the final hardening of the paint and/or adhesive only takes place after the paint or paint-adhesive composite film has been transferred to the print side of the printed sheet 4.
  • This procedure has the advantage that any air pockets in the gap between the transfer roller 9 and the counter roller 23 can be easily removed can be squeezed out of the area between the paint or paint-adhesive composite film and the print side of the printed sheet 4.
  • the paint and/or adhesive layer that has not yet been pre-cured and is therefore still relatively soft does not provide any resistance to escaping air pockets.
  • a device downstream of the transfer station for final hardening of the paint and/or adhesive layer is shown in Figs Reference number 24 indicated.
  • the varnished printed sheets 4 are transported away in a conventional manner by a conveyor belt device 26 which is followed by a conventional stacking device 27 .
  • the two painting stations explained are shown again schematically in FIGS. It is easy to see that in the station in FIG. 4 the adhesive transfer station 18-21 and the IR radiator 22 as well as the device 24 for hardening the adhesive layer are omitted.
  • the station is therefore structurally less complex, although a device for heating the chrome-coated peripheral surface 12 of the transfer roller 9 is required.
  • FIG. 5 shows a third embodiment of a painting station that is an alternative to the embodiments shown schematically in FIGS.
  • Glue is here applied by means of a glue transfer station 18-21 to the top of print media 4 prior to the transfer of a varnish film.
  • the adhesive is hardened by means of an IR or UV radiator 17 immediately after application.
  • the paint film is then transferred to the adhesive upper sides of the print media 4 by means of the transfer roller 9, which has a peripheral surface 12 made of chrome or ceramic.
  • Device 24 is then cured of the adhesive or paint-adhesive composite film.
