Abstract

A method is used to identify a single panel or proof copy that has a printed image of defective quality on printed material that includes several such panels or proof copies. An image of at least part of the printed material is captured photographically. Data, that correlates with the captured image, is analyzed to determine if a defect exists which reduces the quality of the printed image on the printed material. Information with respect to the specific location of the proof copy which contains the defect is determined by comparing the data which correlates with the captured image, to an electronically generated data record which includes information, with respect to the arrangement, form or size of the individual panel that is located on the printed material. An image processing system may perform the comparison of the data record for the form of the individual panel or proof copy on the printed material. That data record may originate from a punching die which is used for separating the individual panels or proof copies of the printed material.

Durch den Fachartikel von Dieter Kleeberg, "Die vernetzte Druckerei", in der Beilage zur Kundenzeitschrift KBA Report Nr. 14, Koenig & Bauer AG, Würzburg 2000, Seiten 4, 6, 7, ist bekannt, Positionsdaten der Weiterverarbeitung und Daten zur Inline-Qualitätskontrolle durch ein einheitliches Dateiformat in einem Datensatz zusammenzustellen (CIP3-PPF-Dateien). Durch dieses Vorgehen ist ein Datensatz zur Identifikation einzelner fehlerhafter Nutzen und zur Weiterverarbeitung nur einmal zu erstellen.By the article by Dieter Kleeberg, "The networked printing", in the supplement to Customer magazine KBA Report No. 14, Koenig & Bauer AG, Würzburg 2000, pages 4, 6, 7, is known to compile positioning data of further processing and data for inline quality control by a single file format in a record (CIP3-PPF files). Through this procedure, a data record for the identification of individual erroneous uses and for further processing must be created only once.

Durch die DE 203 03 574 U1 ist ein Bildinspektionssystem für eine Druckmaschine bekannt, bei welcher der im Nutzendruck bedruckte Bedruckstoff durch eine Bildaufnahmeeinrichtung erfasst und die gewonnenen Bildsignale in einer nachgeschalteten Bildverarbeitung verarbeitet werden, wobei der Bildaufnahmeeinrichtung eine entsprechend der Bildsignale ansteuerbare Druckeinrichtung nachgeordnet ist, durch welche an vorgesehenen Stellen des Bedruckstoffes Markierungen zur Kennzeichnung von als fehlerhaft festgestellten Bereichen erzeugbar sind, infolge dessen fehlerhaft gedruckte Nutzen in einer entsprechend ausgebildeten Einrichtung einer Weiterverarbeitung ausschleusbar sind.By the DE 203 03 574 U1 an image inspection system for a printing press is known, in which the printing material printed in the user recorded by an image pickup device and the image signals obtained are processed in a downstream image processing, wherein the image pickup device is arranged according to the image signals controllable printing device, through which at designated locations of the printing material markings can be generated for the identification of identified as defective areas, as a result of which incorrectly printed benefits are ausschleusbar in a suitably trained device further processing.

Durch die nachveröffentlichte EP 1 403 045 A2 ist ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Position und/oder Form mindestens einer Marke auf einer zu bedruckenden Bahn bekannt, wobei die Position und/oder Form der mindestens einen Marke im zu druckenden Bild unter Verwendung von Prepressdaten ermittelt wird.By the post-published EP 1 403 045 A2 For example, a method for determining the position and / or shape of at least one mark on a web to be printed is known, wherein the position and / or shape of the at least one mark in the image to be printed is determined using prepress data.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Verfahren zur Identifikation eines einzelnen Nutzens mit einem Druckbild von fehlerhafter Qualität auf einem Bedruckstoff mit mehreren Nutzen zu schaffen, bei denen die Identifikation des das Druckbild von fehlerhafter Qualität aufweisenden Nutzens ohne Zuhilfenahme eines gedruckten Referenzbedruckstoffes erfolgt und bei denen sich für die Identifikation einzelner fehlerhafter Nutzen und für eine Beschaffung eines Datensatzes zur Durchführung dieser Identifikation ein rationeller Herstellungsablauf ergibt.The invention has for its object to provide methods for identifying a single benefit with a print image of faulty quality on a substrate with multiple benefits, where the identification of the print image of defective quality benefits without the aid of a printed Referenzbedruckstoffes takes place and in which for the identification of individual erroneous benefits and for obtaining a record for performing this identification a rational production process results.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 oder 11 gelöst.The object is achieved by the features of claim 1 or 11.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielbaren Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, dass ein von einer Druckmaschine bedruckter Bedruckstoff, insbesondere ein Bogen, mit mehreren Nutzen nicht als Ausschuss zu behandeln ist, wenn ein einzelner Nutzen des Bedruckstoffes ein Druckbild von fehlerhafter Qualität aufweist. Der Nutzen mit dem Druckbild von fehlerhafter Qualität ist in einem dem Druckprozess nachgeordneten Arbeitsschritt separierbar, sodass alle anderen Nutzen mit einem Druckbild von guter Qualität der zugedachten Verwendung zugeführt werden können. Mit den vorgeschlagenen Verfahren ist ein einzelner Nutzen mit einem Druckbild von fehlerhafter Qualität eindeutig identifizierbar. Es ist sehr vorteilhaft, dass jedes der vorgeschlagenen Verfahren geeignet ist, einzelne Nutzen beliebiger Form und beliebiger Orientierung auf dem Bedruckstoff zu identifizieren. Eine Einrichtephase der Druckmaschine bleibt von dem Verfahren zur Identifikation eines einzelnen Nutzens mit einem Druckbild von fehlerhafter Qualität unberührt, sodass in der Einrichtephase der Druckmaschine ein zusätzlicher Arbeitsschritt nicht erforderlich ist, der z. B. in einer Auswertung eines speziell anzufertigenden Einrichtebogens bestehen könnte.The advantages which can be achieved with the invention are, in particular, that a printing material printed by a printing press, in particular a sheet, is not to be treated as scrap with several benefits if a single use of the printing material has a printed image of faulty quality. The benefit with the print image of faulty quality is separable in a subsequent process of the printing process, so that all other benefits can be fed with a print image of good quality of the intended use. With the proposed methods, a single benefit with a printed image of defective quality is uniquely identifiable. It is very advantageous that each of the proposed methods is capable of identifying individual benefits of any shape and orientation on the substrate. A set-up phase of the printing press remains unaffected by the process for identifying a single benefit with a print image of faulty quality, so that in the setup phase of the printing press, an additional step is not required, the z. B. could consist in an evaluation of a specially prepared Einrichtebogens.

Ein insbesondere für eine Druckbildkontrolle geeignetes Inspektionssystem weist gemäß seiner schematischen Darstellung in der Fig. 1 eine Kamera 01, z. B. eine oder mehrere miteinander gekoppelte Farbzeilenkameras 01 oder eine Farbflächenkamera 01 auf, die ein von einer Beleuchtungseinrichtung 02 beleuchtetes Bild von einem vorzugsweise als Bogen 03 ausgebildeten Bedruckstoff 03 aufnimmt, nachdem der z. B. aus Papier bestehende Bedruckstoff 03 von einer Druckmaschine, z. B. einer Rotationsdruckmaschine, insbesondere einer Bogen-Offsetrotationsdruckmaschine, mit mindestens einem Druckbild bedruckt worden ist. Vorzugsweise wird der Bedruckstoff 03 bei seinem Durchlauf durch die Druckmaschine im Mehrfarbendruck bedruckt, sodass an der Herstellung des Druckerzeugnisses mehrere übereinander zu druckende, sich im Farbton der jeweils verdruckten Druckfarbe unterscheidende Farbauszüge beteiligt sind.A suitable in particular for a print image inspection inspection system has according to its schematic representation in the Fig. 1 a camera 01, z. B. one or more coupled color line cameras 01 or a color area camera 01, which receives an illuminated by a lighting device 02 image of a preferably formed as a sheet 03 substrate 03 after the z. B. made of paper substrate 03 from a printing press, z. As a rotary printing machine, in particular a sheet offset rotary printing machine, has been printed with at least one printed image. Preferably, the printing material 03 is printed in its passage through the printing press in multi-color printing, so involved in the production of the printed product several superimposed to be printed, differing in hue of the respective printing ink color separations.

Das von der Kamera 01 aufgenommene Bild bildet zumindest einen Teil des Bedruckstoffes 03 ab. Von der Kamera 01 aus der Aufnahme des Bildes ermittelte Daten, die z. B. mit Amplitudenwerten einzelner Farbkanäle korrelieren, werden in einem Bildverarbeitungssystem 04 verarbeitet. Die Ausgabe des Ergebnisses erfolgt z. B. auf einem mit dem Daten verarbeitenden Bildverarbeitungssystem 04 verbundenen Monitor 06. Eingaben, z. B. dem Bildverarbeitungssystem 04 für seine Berechnungen notwendigerweise mitzuteilende Parameter, werden über eine an das Bildverarbeitungssystem 04 angeschlossene Tastatur 07 eingegeben.The image taken by the camera 01 forms at least part of the printing material 03. From the camera 01 from the recording of the image detected data z. B. correlate with amplitude values of individual color channels are processed in an image processing system 04. The output of the result is z. B. on a connected to the data processing image processing system 04 monitor 06. inputs, z. B. the image processing system 04 for its calculations necessarily be notified parameters are entered via a connected to the image processing system 04 keyboard 07.

Der Bedruckstoff 03, hier z. B. der Bogen 03, wird bei seinem Durchlauf durch die Druckmaschine im Nutzendruck bedruckt und weist gemäß der Fig. 2 mehrere in einem Verbund stehende einzelne Nutzen 09 auf. Bei den einzelnen Nutzen 09 kann es sich um wiederholende, z. B. auch identische Druckmotive handeln, die vorzugsweise strukturiert, z. B. gitterförmig, d. h. in Reihen und Spalten, auf dem Bogen 03 angeordnet sind, wobei die auf dem Bogen 03 angeordneten Nutzen 09 in der bevorzugten Ausführung nicht die gesamte bedruckbare Fläche des Bogens 03 abdecken müssen. Zur Durchführung der vorgeschlagenen Verfahren besteht jedoch keine Notwendigkeit, dass die auf dem Bogen 03 angeordneten Nutzen 09 in ihrer Kontur identisch sind oder dass die jeweilige Kontur im Wesentlichen rechteckförmig ist oder dass die auf dem Bogen 03 angeordneten Nutzen 09 nahtlos aneinander angrenzen oder dass die Nutzen 09 auf dem Bogen 03 in einer regelmäßigen Struktur, d. h. einem Gitter mit einer festen Orientierung, angeordnet sind.The substrate 03, here z. B. the sheet 03 is printed in its passage through the printing press in the Nutzendruck and has according to the Fig. 2 several individual benefits 09 in a composite. The individual benefits 09 may be repetitive, z. B. also identical print motifs, preferably structured, z. B. grid-like, ie arranged in rows and columns, on the sheet 03, wherein arranged on the sheet 03 benefits 09 in the preferred embodiment does not have to cover the entire printable area of the sheet 03. However, in order to carry out the proposed methods, there is no need for the benefits 09 arranged on the sheet 03 to be identical in their contours, or for the respective contours to be substantially rectangular, or for those arranged on the sheet 03 Benefits 09 are adjacent to each other seamlessly or that the benefits 09 are arranged on the sheet 03 in a regular structure, ie a grid with a fixed orientation.

Wenn mehrere Nutzen 09 beliebiger Form, d. h. beliebiger Gestalt, und auch beliebiger Orientierung auf dem Bogen 03 angeordnet sind, ergibt sich auf dem Bogen 03 zumindest ein Bereich 11, z. B. ein Rand 11, in welchem sich ein die Qualität des Druckbildes mindernder, insbesondere vom Druck resultierender Fehler nicht nachteilig auswirkt, weil dieser Bereich 11 oder Rand 11 in einem dem Druck nachfolgenden, den bedruckten Bogen 03 weiter verarbeitenden Prozessschritt entfernt wird. Daher wird das von der Farbzeilenkamera 01 oder der Farbflächenkamera 01 vom Bogen 03 fotografisch aufgenommene Bild im Bildverarbeitungssystem 04 vorzugsweise nur hinsichtlich der auf dem Bogen 03 angeordneten Nutzen 09 ausgewertet, sodass der auf dem Bogen 03 außerhalb der Nutzen 09 befindliche Bereich 11 oder Rand 11 hinsichtlich eines die Qualität des Druckbildes mindernden Fehlers nicht ausgewertet wird.If several benefits 09 of any form, d. H. arbitrary shape, and also any orientation are arranged on the sheet 03, resulting on the sheet 03 at least one area 11, z. As an edge 11, in which a quality of the print image reducing, especially from the printing resulting error does not adversely affect because of this area 11 or edge 11 in a printing subsequent, the printed sheet 03 further processing process step is removed. Therefore, the image photographically taken by the color line camera 01 or the color area camera 01 from the sheet 03 in the image processing system 04 is preferably evaluated only with respect to the utility 09 arranged on the sheet 03, so that the area 11 or edge 11 located on the sheet 03 outside the utility 09 one of the quality of the printed image mitigating error is not evaluated.

Die selektive Auswertung des Bogens 03 hinsichtlich mindestens eines die Qualität des Druckbildes mindernden Fehlers, z. B. eines Farbfehlers, einer Verschmutzung oder irgendeines anderen vor oder insbesondere während des Druckprozesses dem Bogen 03 zugefügten Fehlers, ist derart ausgebildet, dass ermittelt wird, welchem der auf dem Bogen 03 angeordneten Nutzen 09 der von der Farbzeilenkamera 01 oder der Farbflächenkamera 01 detektierte Fehler zuzuordnen ist. Dazu wird in dem Bildverarbeitungssystem 04 durch eine entsprechende Auswertung der mit dem aufgenommenen Bild korrelierenden Daten vorzugsweise zunächst eine Information zum Ort des detektierten Fehlers mit Bezug auf die vom Bogen 03 vorgegebene Fläche, insbesondere dessen bedruckbare Fläche, ermittelt, sodass der die Qualität des Druckbildes mindernde Fehler z. B. in seinen Koordinaten lokalisiert wird, und dann wird von den auf den Bogen 03 gedruckten Nutzen 09 derjenige Nutzen 09 identifiziert, innerhalb dessen Kontur der Ort des detektierten Fehlers liegt.The selective evaluation of the sheet 03 with respect to at least one of the quality of the printed image mitigating error, eg. As a color error, contamination or any other before or especially during the printing process the bow 03 added error is designed such that it is determined which arranged on the sheet 03 benefits 09 of the color line camera 01 or the color surface camera 01 detected error is to be assigned. For this purpose, information about the location of the detected error with respect to the surface predetermined by the sheet 03, in particular its printable surface, is preferably initially determined in the image processing system 04 by a corresponding evaluation of the data correlated with the recorded image, so that the quality of the printed image is reduced Error z. B. is localized in its coordinates, and then of the printed on the sheet 03 benefits 09 of the benefits 09 is identified within the contour of the location of the detected error is located.

Ein einzelner Nutzen 09 wird dadurch identifiziert, dass das Bildverarbeitungssystem 04 in seinen Daten verarbeitenden Prozessschritten auf das von der Farbzeilenkamera 01 oder der Farbflächenkamera 01 vom Bogen 03 aufgenommene Bild sozusagen eine Schablone auflegt, wobei die Schablone aus einem elektronischen generierten Datensatz besteht, wobei dieser Datensatz nicht einem fotografisch aufgenommenen Bild entnommen und insbesondere nicht innerhalb der Druckmaschine gewonnen wird, sondern z. B. in einer Druckvorstufe gespeicherten Daten entnommen ist. Der die Schablone bildende Datensatz wird z. B. mit einem CAD-System (computer-aided design) erzeugt und einem Speicher z. B. in der Druckvorstufe zugeführt, wobei dieser Datensatz eine Information zur Position, Form bzw. Gestalt oder Größe, z. B. Durchmesser, der einzelnen auf dem Bogen 03 angeordneten Nutzen 09 enthält oder wobei diese Information diesem Datensatz zumindest entnehmbar ist. Statt auf eine absolute Position kann sich die Information auch auf die Anordnung einzelner Nutzen 09 in der Gesamtheit aller Nutzen 09 beziehen und damit über die Lage eines einzelnen Nutzens 09 relativ zu einem oder mehrerer anderer Nutzen 09 Auskunft geben. Die Form eines Nutzens 09 charakterisiert dessen Typ oder Art, z. B. Kreis, Rechteck oder eine andere beliebige geometrische Gestalt. In der bevorzugten Ausführung wird der Datensatz in Verbindung mit einer Herstellung von einer Stanzform zum Separieren der Nutzen 09 aus dem Bogen 03 generiert und dem Bildverarbeitungssystem 04 zugeleitet. Diese Maßnahme ist vorteilhaft, weil dadurch auf einen ohnehin vorliegenden Datensatz zurückgegriffen wird, sodass zusätzlicher Aufwand zur Generierung dieses Datensatzes nicht entsteht. Wenn auf dem Bogen 03 in der Gesamtheit aller dort angeordneten Nutzen 09 ein einzelner Nutzen 09 mit einer sich vorzugsweise signifikant von den anderen Nutzen 09 unterscheidender Form oder Gestalt angeordnet ist, kann bei Ermittlung eines die Qualität des Druckbildes mindernden Fehlers an diesem andersartigen Nutzen 09 direkt auf den auf den Bogen 03 bezogenen Fehlerort geschlossen werden, weil sich dieser andersartige Nutzen 09 in einem festen Verbund mit den anderen auf dem Bogen 03 angeordneten Nutzen 09 befindet.A single benefit 09 is identified by the fact that the image processing system 04, so to speak, hangs up a template in its data processing process steps on the image taken by the color line camera 01 or the color area camera 01 from the sheet 03, the template consisting of an electronically generated data record, this data record is not taken from a photographically recorded image and in particular is not obtained within the printing press, but z. B. stored in a pre-press data is taken. The template forming the record is z. B. generated with a CAD system (computer-aided design) and a memory z. B. fed in the prepress, this record information about position, shape or shape or size, z. B. diameter, the individual arranged on the sheet 03 benefits 09 contains or wherein this information is at least removed from this record. Instead of referring to an absolute position, the information can also refer to the arrangement of individual benefits 09 in the totality of all benefits 09 and thus provide information about the location of a single benefit 09 relative to one or more other benefits 09. The shape of a benefit 09 characterizes its type or type, e.g. As circle, rectangle or any other geometric shape. In the preferred embodiment, the data set is generated in conjunction with a production of a die for separating the benefits 09 from the sheet 03 and fed to the image processing system 04. This measure is advantageous because it makes use of an already existing data record, so that additional expenditure for generating this data record does not arise. If a single benefit 09 with a preferably significantly different from the other benefits 09 different form or shape is arranged on the sheet 03 in the totality of all arranged there benefits 09, when determining a quality of the printed image mitigating error in this different use 09 can directly be closed on the error 03 related to the bow, because this other benefits 09 is in a solid composite with the other arranged on the bow 03 benefits 09.

Mit dem die Schablone bildenden Datensatz ist ein fester Bezug zwischen einem von der Farbzeilenkamera 01 oder der Farbflächenkamera 01 detektierten Fehler zu einem einzelnen Nutzen 09 auf dem Bogen 03 herstellbar, indem die Information z. B. zur Anordnung, Gestalt oder Größe der einzelnen auf dem Bogen 03 angeordneten Nutzen 09 den Daten von dem von der Farbzeilenkamera 01 oder der Farbflächenkamera 01 aufgenommenen Bild oder zumindest der Information zum Ort des detektierten Fehlers zum Zweck eines Vergleichs überlagert wird. Denn mit Hilfe des die Schablone bildenden Datensatzes kann nun z. B. von dem Bildverarbeitungssystem 04 durch einen Vergleich der Information zum ermittelten Ort des Fehlers mit der Information zur Anordnung, Gestalt oder Größe der einzelnen auf dem Bogen 03 angeordneten Nutzen 09 eindeutig festgestellt werden, welchem der auf dem Bogen 03 angeordneten Nutzen 09 ein auf dem Bogen 03 detektierter und lokalisierter Fehler zugeordnet ist.With the template forming the record is a fixed reference between a detected by the color line camera 01 or the color area camera 01 error to a single use 09 on the sheet 03 produced by the information z. B. the arrangement, shape or size of the individual arranged on the sheet 03 benefits 09 is superimposed on the data from the color line camera 01 or the color area camera 01 image or at least the information on the location of the detected error for the purpose of comparison. Because with the help of the template forming the record can now z. B. by the image processing system 04 by comparing the information to the determined location of the error with the information on the arrangement, shape or size of the individual arranged on the sheet 03 benefits 09 are clearly identified, which arranged on the sheet 03 benefits 09 a on the Sheet 03 is associated with detected and localized error.

Ein derart hinsichtlich eines von der Farbzeilenkamera 01 oder der Farbflächenkamera 01 detektierten Fehlers identifizierter Nutzen 09 kann von einer z. B. von dem Bildverarbeitungssystem 04 gesteuerten Markiereinrichtung 08 z. B. durch Auftragen einer Nummerierung oder einer andersartigen Kennzeichnung markiert oder auch auf dem Monitor 06 angezeigt werden, sodass die Markierung des betreffenden Nutzens 09 mit einem Druckbild von fehlerhafter Qualität auch beispielsweise durch das Bedienpersonal der Druckmaschine erfolgen kann.A benefit 09 identified in such a way with regard to a fault detected by the color line camera 01 or the color area camera 01 can be detected by a user. B. controlled by the image processing system 04 marker 08 z. B. marked by applying a numbering or a different type of label or displayed on the monitor 06, so that the marking of the relevant benefit 09 can be done with a printed image of faulty quality, for example, by the operator of the printing press.

Der auf dem Bogen 03 identifizierte Nutzen 09, innerhalb dessen Kontur der von der Farbzeilenkamera 01 oder der Farbflächenkamera 01 detektierte Fehler liegt, ist in einem dem eigentlichen Druckprozess nachfolgenden Verarbeitungsschritt von den übrigen Nutzen 09 separierbar, indem die auf dem Bogen 03 angeordneten Nutzen 09 z. B. mit einem Stanzwerkzeug ausgestanzt werden und der den detektierten Fehler aufweisende, vorzugsweise markierte Nutzen 09 z. B. durch Ausschleusung extrahiert wird. Im Ergebnis sind somit alle auf dem Bogen 03 angeordneten Nutzen 09 mit Ausnahme der markierten Nutzen 09 der zugedachten Verwendung zuführbar, was insbesondere für hochwertige Druckerzeugnisse von Vorteil ist.The identified on the sheet 03 benefits 09, within the contour of which is detected by the color line camera 01 or the color surface camera 01 error is separable from the other benefits 09 in a process subsequent to the actual printing process processing by arranged on the sheet 03 benefits 09 z , B. are punched out with a punch and the detected error having, preferably marked benefits 09 z. B. is extracted by discharge. As a result, all the benefits arranged on the sheet 03 are 09 except for the marked ones Benefit 09 of the intended use fed, which is particularly advantageous for high-quality printed products.
