Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for printing a substrate.
- the substrate is printed indirectly, usually by transferring the decorative motifs and colors of the respective printing forme on a suitable transfer roller, such as from DE 10 2004 037 892 B3 is known.
- decor patterns usually divided into motif-related partial prints or sub-images and produce on this basis printing forms for dosing the quantities of ink to be printed.
- Such partial images are also called separations below.
- Techniques for mechanical and control technology synchronization of the individual partial images, so that the entire decor is created by superposition of these, are known in the art.
- pressure-formless processes such as inkjet technology
- inkjet technology can be used for true-to-the-original decorative reproduction when the décor to be printed is divided into color and motif-related suitable separations and then printed separately and sequentially on the substrate to produce the entire decoration become.
- a partial image decomposition into usually different contoured separations and there are those true colors determined with which, based on the printing device used in each case, the most favorable conditions for generating the individual sub-images so that through the contour - And the color overlay of the individual partial images gives the entire decor.
- the true colors are usually not basic colors, but are created by mixing different primary colors.
- Each sub-picture print has correspondingly lower requirements for the print settings, so that the individual sub-pictures can be printed with high precision.
- Techniques for synchronizing the individual partial images, so that the entire decor is created by superposition of these, are known in the art. The result is a printing process in which a decor template can be reproduced true to color with relatively little effort.
- the motif elements are determined in such a way that the most favorable conditions for producing the overall image from the individual partial images result for the printing formless printing device.
- partial images are preferably produced in color separations in such a way that they correspond to the printing units and true colors used in the rotary printing and thus permit an analogue workflow and, if necessary, recourse to existing data, for example the separations, from the prepress stage of the rotary printing.
- the inventive adaptation of the device structure or the respective pressure-free decoration process for generating and applying in particular color-homogeneously partial images can be reproduced in color without compromising a decorative template with comparatively little effort without printing form.
- a decorative dissection and color provision according to claim 2 is completely automatic.
- a color provision according to claim 3 is particularly well suited for decors that can be composed of area-contoured partial images.
- An ink supply according to claim 4 enables indirect contact printing without the need for elaborate color adjustment preparatory work.
- a color drying according to claim 5 enables a fixation and evaluation of individual colors before the next step of decoration production.
- a color provision according to claim 6 makes it possible in particular to print elaborately contoured and difficult-colored partial images.
- color drying according to claim 7 prevents the basic colors from converging when the partial images are formed.
- a transfer body according to claim 8 is particularly advantageous for non-planar substrates.
- Transmission bodies which can be used with corresponding substrates are known, for example, from DE 10 2004 037 892 B3.
- endless plastic profiles can be printed, which are used as edge bands or as window profiles.

- an empty reserve reservoir 55 is still provided.
- the primary color reservoirs 49-54 cooperate with two primary color dispensers 56, 57, which are portions of the color providing devices 47, 48.
- Each basic ink metering device has six metering valves 58. Each of these metering valves 58 is arranged in a paint line 59 between one of the primary ink reservoirs 49 to 54 and one of two mixing chambers 60, 61.
- the mixing chambers 60, 61 are each part of one of the color supply devices 47, 48.
- the metering valves 58 are in signal connection with the control device 10 via a control line 62.
- the latter is in the embodiment of FIG. 2 in two sub-control devices 10a for controlling the metering valves 58 and 10b for controlling two field-inkjet printing devices 63, 64 divided. The latter are constructed according to the pressure devices 23 to 26.

- a printing method with the printing device 1 according to FIG. 1 with the use of color supply devices 15 to 18 in the manner of the color supply devices 47, 48 of the embodiment according to FIG. 2 operates as follows:
- the decorative template 6 is detected by the image capture device 4.
- the acquired image data for the decorative template 6 are separated into separations, which overlay and give the decoration 3 in accordance with the coloring.
- FIG. 2 two such true-color partial images 66, 67 are shown very schematically.
- the partial image 66 generated by the printing device 63 consists of a first zigzag pattern of successive squares, which are adjacent one another over the corner.
- the partial image 67 consists of a further zigzag sequence of squares of different color, which partially overlap with the squares of the partial image 66.
- the partial images 66, 67 represent schematic representations of partial images present in reality.
- the partial image 66 may, for example, consist of a dot pattern of a first color and the partial image 67 of a dot pattern of a second color.
- a stone decor can be produced on a substrate, for example an edge band or a window profile.
- a wood decor is possible, which can be generated with two partial images, one of the partial images creates a background color and the other partial image a wood grain.
- the decomposition of the decorative template 6 in partial images is done by a Dekormotiv- and color analysis, the basic sequence is known by public prior use.
- the color composition as well as the contouring of the individual partial images naturally depends on the number of pressure devices present in the printing device 1.

The latter are driven by the substrate or the drive means and roll off on the substrate 2, transferring the printed partial images to the substrate 2. This produces the printed partial image on the substrate 2. On each section of the substrate 2, which contains all four printing devices 23 to 26, the entire decor is then formed by superimposing. Printing by the printing devices 23 to 26 is controlled by the control device 10. Between the individual partial image prints, the freshly printed partial images are dried by the dye-drying devices 41 to 44.

- Each of the printing units 70 to 75 has a metering valve 78 assigned to the respective primary ink reservoir 49 to 54 in the manner of the metering valve 31 of the embodiment according to FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 shows by way of example only the metering valve 78 of the printing unit 70 of the partial image printing device 68 shown.
- the ink supply takes place in the printing device 1 according to FIG. 3 by providing the primary colors 49 to 54 via the metering valves 78 of the printing units 70 to 75. These metering valves 78 are actuated by the control device 10.
