Definitions

  • the invention relates to an additional device for a printing press operating according to the offset printing principle in the form of an inkjet printing system according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • inkjet printing devices which are preferably used for the individualization of printed products produced by offset printing, e.g. Address printing, barcodes, numbering or other markings.
  • Such inkjet printing systems have at least.
  • An inkjet printhead the so-called. Continuous inkjet principle, the drop-on-demand inkjet principle, the thermal inkjet principle, the bubble inkjet principle or any other inkjet principle can be formed.
  • the inkjet printheads usually have a nozzle row of a plurality of juxtaposed nozzles, via the inks on a printing substrate, such. a paper web can be addressed.
  • the inkjet technology is widely used in the state of the art both in private areas as well as in industrial areas (digital proof systems, which directly use the data of the computer / digital printer).
  • inkjet printing systems for the areas of the printing industry.
  • inkjet systems for the production of pressure equipment (proofs) for imaging of printing plates or printing plates or explicitly for the digital printing of small special editions (eg body shape printing) and special formats (eg large format posters or textiles) used.
  • industrial inkjet printing systems are primarily used for very short print runs and the cost of printing inks is very high.
  • the inkjet printing for the print run is not economical because it is very slow at high print resolutions.
  • an inkjet printing system which is used as a painting unit, such that a separate inkjet printer in the form of an inkjet head array or an inkjet head bar is used for line by line loading of the preferably large-sized substrate, wherein the substrate is carried out below the outlet openings of the inkjet heads.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to make it possible for a printing press operating according to the offset printing principle that additional, variable information as well as frequently changing information during a print run can be added at any point within the printed product.
  • an inkjet printhead mounted on a crosshead transversely to the printing direction in a working position to a paper web within the printing press, preferably in one or at least arranged near a printing unit.
  • Inkjet printing is a printing technology that belongs to the category of non-impact printers. This is understood to mean a non-contact printing process in which a tiny amount of ink is electronically controlled from one or more extremely small nozzles (such as in the DE 27 04 514 C2 is described) is shot on the substrate.
  • the advantage of non-contact printing processes is that upstream drying processes can be eliminated if necessary, which can save on energy and material costs.
  • the inkjet printing process can be controlled digitally via so-called print image data.
  • the print image would be variable shaped.
  • the proposed invention has the advantage over the prior art that an inkjet system is already integrated directly into the offset printing press and can be mounted or implemented at various points on different paper webs of the printing presses. As a result, it is possible to add additional information, even variable information, as well as frequently changing information at any point within the printed product during a print run.
  • the web guide is shown with color assignment in a web offset newspaper printing press, the plurality of printing towers (1, 2) for the 4 + 4 pressure with two stacked 9-cylinder satellite (3, 4, 5, 6) with vertical web run each printing tower (1, 2) and a folding unit (7).
  • each printing unit tower (1, 2) an additional device in the form of a respective inkjet printing system (8, 9) is provided.
  • each inkjet printing system (8, 9) comprises in each case an inkjet print head (10, 11) mounted on a crossmember (12, 13) transversely to the printing direction in a working position to a paper web (20) within the printing towers (1, 2) is arranged.
  • the inkjet print head (10, 11) is adjustably mounted on the traverse (11, 13), so that its position in the usual way via a control signal, but of course, if necessary, manually adjustable.
  • the traverse (11, 13) can be located at any point of the printing press, preferably in the printing unit tower opposite the paper web (20), preferably at a point where the paper web (20) is flat.
  • the paper web (20) is moved past the inkjet print heads (10, 11) in a transport direction visualized by the arrows (30).
  • Each inkjet printhead (10, 11) comprises in a known manner a row of nozzles of juxtaposed nozzles, via the ink to a cylinder or to a curved guide element, such as. Paper guide rollers, guided, to be printed paper web (20) are directional.
  • each print head (10, 11) is arranged in the region of a flat (i.e., vertical) course of the paper web (20) within a printing unit tower (1, 2).
  • the inkjet printhead (10, 11) can be mounted in working position on a curved surface of a printing cylinder, such as a printing cylinder. be arranged a pulley or a pressure cylinder.
  • each inkjet printhead (10, 11) there is provided a drive unit (40, 41) or control unit which is located in the printing engine assembly (i.e., for example, printing unit sidewall) in the vicinity of the associated printhead (10, 11).
  • a drive unit (40, 41) or control unit which is located in the printing engine assembly (i.e., for example, printing unit sidewall) in the vicinity of the associated printhead (10, 11).
  • the inkjet drive units (40, 41) are thus located in the printing press assembly in the immediate vicinity of the print head, preferably behind a web guide plate.
  • the entire inkjet unit, i. Traverse (12, 13), printhead (10, 11) and control (40, 41) and the required controller hardware are modular and portable, so that when needed quickly the positions of the inkjet printing systems can be changed within the press.
  • Each inkjet drive unit (40, 41) can receive a speed signal (encoder signal) and a start signal (zero pulse) for better synchronization of the impression location in the space provided for the artwork and the dimensional representation of the impression of the printing press control.
  • Each inkjet unit (8, 9) (or more in each case) can be integrated so that it can be operated separately as a separate unit and the data can be fed asynchronously to the rest of the data workflow of the printing press during the printing process.
  • each inkjet unit (8, 9) can also be integrated into the control of the printing press itself (control station) and can obtain the print data via the control of the printing press. In this case, a completely integrated workflow from print preparation to printing can be realized.
