Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for transferring image-forming layers from a carrier film to printing sheet according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • the transfer film has a carrier layer on which imaging layers such as metallic layers, for example of aluminum, can be applied. Between the metallic layer and the carrier film, a separating layer is provided, which ensures that the metallic layer can be removed from the carrier layer.
  • each sheet is given an adhesive pattern. Thereafter, the sheet is passed through the coating unit, wherein by means of the pressing cylinder of the resting on the impression cylinder printed sheet with the film material in combination is brought. In this case, the downwardly lying metallic layer enters into a close connection with the areas provided with adhesive on the printed sheet. After the further transport of the printing sheet, the metallic layer adheres only in the area provided with the adhesive pattern. The carrier film is thus removed from the metallic layer in the region of the adhesive pattern. The used in this way transfer film is wound up again. The print sheet is laid out in the coated state.
  • a method and apparatus for applying a lacquer layer to the top of a print medium known.
  • a coating layer is produced on a roller, dried there and the dried coating film thus produced is transferred to the wet surface of a fresh color print by permanent bonding.
  • an adhesive layer may be used, wherein prior to the transfer of the paint film an adhesive applied to the printing medium, then the paint film will be applied.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a device by means of which a protective coating can be done safely, economically and accurately, the device should be easy to handle.
  • a clear protective layer is applied to a finished printing sheet in the manner of a lamination by means of the described coating method of a transfer film.
  • the method is economical because it can be executed in a printing unit and can thus be integrated inline into a printing process.
  • a control of the transfer film can be made such that when passing through a gripper of the sheet-guiding impression cylinder receiving cylinder channel of the film feed is stopped, wherein the pressing cylinder then passes under the transfer film sliding.
  • an elevated, contoured pressing surface may be provided, which is limited to the area to be coated.
  • a cut-out blanket, a plastic printing form or a stick-on press-on segment is suitable.
  • the image-forming layer can be applied by means of so-called UV negative-pressure ink.
  • the UV negative pressure ink is applied by means of the printing unit for the adhesive in a corresponding manner via an offset printing plate.
  • the coating unit can advantageously be placed anywhere on the machine.
  • the coating unit is designed as a coating module in the manner of a transportable unit.
  • the application of various coatings or metallization layers within of a subject in succession It is also possible to provide a first adhesive pattern in a first coating unit with a first image-forming coating or metallization layer and, in the following, superimposing another, the first enclosing adhesive pattern and to provide it with a different coating or metallization layer.
  • the film supply roll 8 is assigned to the coating unit 2 on the sheet feed side.
  • the film supply roll 8 has a rotary drive 7.
  • the rotary drive 7 is required for the continuous controlled feeding of the transfer film to the coating unit 2, and is therefore controllable.
  • a deflecting or tensioning roller is provided in the region of the film feed.
  • the film web of the transfer film is always held in the same voltage relative to the press cylinder 3.
  • a film collection roller 9 is shown on the downstream side of the printing unit.
  • the used film material is wound up again.
  • a rotary drive 7 is provided for the optimized production, which is controllable.
  • the transfer film 5 could also be moved by the rotary drive 7 on the discharge side and kept taut on the inlet side by means of a brake.
  • the transfer process of a transparent protective layer on the printing paper takes place in the transfer nip 6 between the pressing cylinder 3 and the impression cylinder.
  • the pressing cylinder 3 may be a blanket cylinder of an offset printing unit.
  • the pressing cylinder 3 may also be the forme cylinder of a paint module. It is essential that the surface of the pressing cylinder 3 so the blanket cylinder or forme cylinder is equipped by means of a compressible, damping element.
  • a limited pressing surface can be provided directly on the pressing cylinder 3 or on the press fabric. This can be worked out of the surface of the press fabric or it can be additionally attached as a partial surface of the material of the press fabric on the press cylinder 3.
  • a printed sheet with a transparent protective layer By means of such a device is provided to provide a printed sheet with a transparent protective layer.
  • the coating process takes place in the manner described above and serves the full-surface or partial-area sealing of a printed surface.
  • the method may be referred to as a laminating process within a printing press.
  • the protective layer may be visible, invisible, clear, colorless or colored. Likewise, textured layers can be applied.
  • the protective layer can be applied directly to the color print or a painted color print.
  • a contoured pressing surface can be provided as the surface of the pressing cylinder 3.
  • a pressing surface limited to the area to be coated is used on the pressing cylinder 3.
  • a cut-out printing blanket, an imageable plastic printing plate or a pressure pad which is preferably releasably fastened to a smooth base, possibly stickable or magnetically attachable, can be used to support the limited pressing surface.
  • a further improvement of the film utilization of the type described results from the fact that the transfer film 5 is divided into one or more Partfolienbahnen lesser width.
  • the protective layer can be applied by means of an adhesive reacting to ultraviolet radiation.
  • so-called UV negative pressure ink by means of the applicator 1 for the adhesive applied in a corresponding Weise_über an offset printing plate.
  • a UV dryer 15 is to be provided either after the applicator 1 for predrying the adhesive application.
  • a protective layer penetrating the UV dryer 15, for example, on the impression cylinder 4 of the coating unit 2 are arranged.
  • the transfer of a first adhesive pattern in a first applicator 1 can also take place and be provided in a first coating unit 2 with an imaging metallization layer. Overlaying this, in a following application unit 1 another, the first enclosing or overlapping adhesive pattern can be applied and provided in a second coating unit 2 with the protective layer. In this way, for example, first an image pattern of a silver-colored layer and then a full-surface protective layer can be produced in a coating pass.
