Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and an apparatus for determining the position and / or shape of marks on a printed paper web.
  • the color registration is influenced, for example, by the spacing of the printing units, the paper properties, the water used in printing, the color, the roll change, the paper web tension or the printing speed, color register controls being used to correct for color filter aberrations.
  • Marks and mark fields are defined for each color register controller make. It is assumed that in the case of board production the marks are applied in the specified position and size and the required white space has been taken into account.
  • tag fields are always attached at the same location, for example at the edge of the plate outside the type area mirror, the handling in the plate production is simple.
  • a sensor used to detect the marker fields only has to be set to predefined discrete positions in the case of printing units of various widths in order to reliably detect the marker fields.
  • the presetting system calculates z. B. due to the placed outside of the type set stamps or z. B. due to a small brand area for the color screw zones of the brands no color loss. In this case, if the printer does not open the color screws, the marks will not be printed. The controller can then not fulfill its function.
  • WO 95/00336 A2 a method for controlling operations of a printing machine is known, wherein from image information representing at least the surface of a printed product, coordinates of measurement locations are determined for an image pickup device, wherein the image pickup device at each location a measurement field of defined size detected on the surface of a printed product.
  • trademarks or brand fields are arranged in the printed image itself, the position and / or the shape being at least used for determining the shape and / or position of marks on a printed web, for example a printed paper web in a printing press, such as a rotary press for newspaper printing a mark is obtained on the web to be printed from digital or analog image data of the prepress or of the printing originals.
  • the use of these prepress data enables, for example, automatic determination of one or more suitable positions and / or shapes of marks, such as register marks, in an image to be printed.
  • a suitable or advantageous position and / or shape of one or more marks or one or more mark fields in an image can be determined both in the horizontal and in the vertical direction.
  • an image area can be searched that can already be used as a measurement area for color and / or registration control without the additional insertion of a mark, such as an area containing many or significant color information or cross-shaped structures.
  • an image area may be searched in which marks or trademark fields having a shape suitable for the image can be inserted at a position suitable in the image without disturbing the overall impression of the image by the inserted mark.
  • the marks can be defined directly as objects in the layout.
  • Postscript allows the naming of objects. Examples of such objects are brands, brand field and white space. In this way, the number, size and location of the marks, the mark field and the white space can be determined.
  • the brands can thus z. B. directly as objects in the layout, ie defined before the actual printing.
  • a tag field and a white area or white space required by the tag field can also be defined as objects, such that the number, size, shape, and / or location of the tags, tag fields, and white space or white area using the prepress data in the layout, for example the actual printing process are defined so that when printing the marks, brand fields and white areas are generated together with the actual print image and it is no longer necessary to additionally provide mark fields on the plate edge outside the type area.
  • the location and / or shape of at least one marker, one marker field, and / or the white area surrounding a marker field may be determined from raster image processor (RIP) data or another source of prepress data for each printing plate.
  • RIP raster image processor
  • the location of a mark or trademark field in a print image or on a printing plate the location of a mark or a mark field to another mark or mark field, the shape of a mark or a mark field, so that, for example, a mark field well can be inserted into a motif to be printed, the minimum and / or maximum extent of the mark field and / or the white area around the mark or the mark field around determined and / or checked.
  • the brand or brand field does not meet certain predetermined criteria, then in another step before the printing process, other positions for the brand or brand field may be searched, advantageously providing an automatic algorithm containing one or more positions for a brand and / or or suggests a brand field or even automatically selects. For example, if due to production data such. B. the color and disk occupancy or due to other, for example, externally entered specifications no suitable brand field can be found, it is possible to automatically issue a corresponding error message.
  • the brand field and / or brand coordinates or positions can advantageously be used to check the quality of the printed product, in particular for positioning one or more sensors for detecting the printed marks or brand fields.
  • the so-called horizontal mark field position ie the position of the marks forming the mark field or a mark can be checked transversely to the running direction of the paper web.
  • the vertical marker field position ie the position of a marker or a marker field in the direction of a printed web is determined by the inclusion of an image by a sensor to a specific Time determined.
  • the image recording is synchronized, wherein the position data of the inventively inserted marks can also be used for synchronization, so that determines the vertical position of a brand or a brand field and thus the reference position or the color registration or the registration from the image taken at a given time can be.
  • the assignment of the individual brands to the actuators and sensors or Sensorpositionierettin be made automatically.
  • production data can be web guidance, plate and / or color assignment.
  • the shapes and / or positions of one or more marks in a printed image determined according to the invention using pre-press data can be selected largely freely depending on the content of the image to be printed and the color. It is possible, but no longer necessary, for marks to be arranged on the margin outside the type area. For example, in accordance with the invention, a mark or a trademark field may be placed so that the same color screws can be used for a color image to be printed as for printing the marks or the mark field. If the marks are placed near a color image, they can better reflect the color registration, i. H.
  • a mark or brand field near a color image provides more accurate information relative to the color passport relevant to the image than a mark spaced from a color image at a greater distance because of potential errors due to the spatial and / or temporal distance can affect.
  • marks and / or mark fields are advantageously positioned in the vicinity of images to be printed.
  • a brand or a brand field or a brand arrangement can be adapted to the circumstances of an image to image dependent a brand or to arrange a trademark field with a shape advantageous for the image and / or the brand recognition in a place which is advantageous for the image.
  • brands or trademark fields can be arranged arbitrarily, for example, side by side or in a semicircle, care should be taken to ensure that the distances between the marks required for the secure registration of trademarks or trademark fields are maintained.
  • the brand coordinates of the prepress data are used to determine the reference position of the individual marks.
  • the reference position describes the brand reference on the printed paper web, where a certain registration error is expected.
  • a mark may be placed near a larger blue area to verify the correct location of blue image components, while a mark may be placed near a larger red image subject, if any, for example, to verify the correct location of red image components.
  • trademarks or brand fields can be arranged on advantageous and also distributed over a print image lying positions, whereas previously so-called color measurement fields were printed at fixed positions, whereby the available printable area was reduced.
  • the position of one or more stamps or stamp fields is no longer dependent on the printing unit, so that no printing-related adjustments are required if the color sequence in the printing units of a printing press is changed.
  • the prepress data by comparing the prepress data with the images captured by a sensor, such as a camera or a CCD element, the degree of contamination a lens, a camera or a change in the illumination detected and, if necessary, also regulated and corrected to ensure a continuous reliable detection of marks.
  • a sensor such as a camera or a CCD element
  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for determining and / or determining the shape and / or position of at least one mark or a marker field in an image to be printed using pre-press data.
  • the device is designed so that at least one of the method steps described above can be performed.
  • FIG. 2 shows an image to be printed by way of example, wherein at the edge of the plate 3 outside the type area 4 a brand field 1a is arranged at a fixed position.
  • a marker field 1b with a shape which does not disturb the viewer of the motif 2 is arranged in the vicinity of the colored motif 2 in order to obtain registration deviations of the colored motif 2 to be able to measure as accurately as possible.
  • FIG. 3 shows an exemplary arrangement of a plurality of individual markers 5 in a marker field 1, wherein the individual markers 5 have a predetermined minimum distance from one another in order to ensure the secure registration of a single mark 5.
  • the white space or white area 6, which is arranged around the dotted line mark field 1, which passes through the solid line ensures that the individual marks 5 can be detected precisely and the position detection of the marks 5 is not affected by surrounding subjects.
