Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating a printing press, namely for detecting and adapting a basic setting of ink zone setting elements of the inking unit of at least one printing unit of the printing press.
  • a printing ink is applied to the substrate.
  • the four scale colors black, magenta, cyan and yellow and, if appropriate, spot colors are generally printed, with a separate printing unit and therefore inking unit being present for each of these printing inks.
  • the inking unit of each printing unit has a Farbdosier driving, wherein the Farbdosier driving comprises a number of ink zones corresponding number of Farbzonenstellelementen.
  • the Farbzonenstellelemente are also referred to as a color slider or color meter.
  • printing ink is applied to a ductor roller and several of the ink fountain roller downstream inking rollers on a printing plate.
  • a learning color guide known. It describes a method for controlling printing presses, in particular for correcting incorrect settings or optimizing color guidance at the start of printing of a print job.
  • the set values for the ink feed and the ink metering which comprise the ink zone opening and the color strip width, are determined and transmitted to control means of the printing press.
  • the color guide is preset by means of previously stored print settings stored on the machine and corrected to optimize the print results for each print job. To determine the necessary corrections, an optical measurement of the color of a sample sheet should be made. The corrected setting values are saved for subsequent print jobs.
  • the present invention is based on the problem of providing a novel method for operating a printing press, namely for detecting and adapting a basic setting of ink zone setting elements of inking units of the printing press.
  • the inventive method comprises at least the following steps: a) it is a Provided with a printing unit ready for printing, wherein all Farbzonenstellelemente of the ready-to-print inking unit are set to an identical, predefined basic setting; b) at least one test print is printed with the dampening unit deactivated; c) at least one test pressure is measured, namely such that a color density is measured in each color zone of the test print in order to measure the basic setting of the ink zone actuator of each ink zone of the inking unit; d) the color densities of all color zones of the inking unit measured by a test pressure are compared with one another, the basic settings of the ink zone setting elements of the inking unit being changed as a result, until an identical color density results for each color zone.
  • the position accuracy of ink zone setting elements can be checked easily and reliably.
  • a basic setting of the ink zone setting elements is detected and adjusted so that when the ink zone setting elements of an inking unit occupy identical positions or positions, identical color densities also occur in the corresponding color zones of a printed print image.
  • the inventive method can be carried out fully automated or semi-automated.
  • Each printing unit of a printing press has, in addition to a transfer cylinder, which carries a transfer form, and a forme cylinder, which carries a printing form, via an inking unit, wherein ink is applied to the printing forme positioned on the forme cylinder with the aid of the inking unit.
  • an inking unit has a Farbdosier noticed and several inking rollers to apply the ink to the printing form.
  • the ink metering device of an inking unit has u. a. via an ink fountain and Farbzonenstellelemente, wherein for each color zone, a Farbzonenstellelement is present to set for each color zone, the amount of ink applied to the printing form by means of the inking unit individually.
  • the Farbzonenstellelemente are also referred to as a color slider or color meter.
  • the invention now proposes a method with the aid of which the positional accuracy of the inking zone adjusting elements can be checked, namely by detecting and adjusting a so-called basic setting of the inking zone adjusting elements, so that ultimately when all the inking element actuating elements of an inking unit have an identical setting or position assume that an identical color density is provided in all color zones of the printed printed image.
  • a printing unit is provided with a ready-to-print inking unit, wherein all Farbzonenstellelemente the print-ready inking unit are set to an identical, predefined basic setting.
  • this defined basic setting it may be z. B. to act as the so-called zero position of the Farbzonenstellelemente.
  • this setting of the ink fountain keys to an identical, predefined basic setting is preferably carried out so that the Farbzonenstellelemente the inking be brought from the same direction in the default, namely such that either all Farbzonenstellelemente starting from a more open state of the same or starting from a stronger closed state thereof are transferred to the identical, predefined basic setting.
  • At least one test print is then printed, in which case, if the corresponding printing unit comprises a dampening unit in addition to an inking unit, at least one test print is first printed when the dampening unit is deactivated.
  • the dampening unit is deactivated, printing is carried out with a faulty ink-dampening solution balance, so that the printing form positioned on the forme cylinder assumes or leads printing ink throughout.
  • the test print or each of these test prints is preferably also carried out when the traversing or rubbing of so-called distributor rolls or traversing rollers of the inking unit is deactivated.
  • a third step of the method according to the invention at least one test print printed with deactivated dampening unit is measured, whereby a color density is measured in each color zone of the test print so as finally to metrologically record the basic setting of the ink zone setting elements of the inking zones of the inking unit.
  • a fourth step of the method according to the invention the color densities of all ink zones of an inking unit measured at a test pressure are compared with one another, whereby the basic settings of the ink zone setting elements of the corresponding inking unit are adapted in such a way that an identical color density can be ensured for each ink zone.
  • the color densities of a printed under quasi-stationary pressure conditions test pressure are compared, with quasi-stationary pressure conditions are present when there is no significant change in color densities in the ink zones from test pressure to test pressure.
  • At least one test print is also printed with activated dampening unit after printing with deactivated dampening unit, wherein at least one printed with activated dampening unit under quasi-stationary pressure conditions test print is measured in terms of its color density in the individual color zones. From this measurement can then be concluded on the setting of the dampening unit. If, despite the adjusted basic settings of the ink zone control elements, there is a deviation for the ink density in the individual ink zones, then it can be concluded that with the dampening unit no uniform dampening can be provided over the entire width of the format Setting the dampening unit z. B. can be initiated by generating a corresponding warning.
  • a printing form to be used in this case must fulfill the condition of equal color reduction or area coverage in all ink zones.
  • the test pressure or each of these test prints is in turn preferably carried out when the traversing or trituration of so-called distributor rollers or traversing rollers of the inking unit is deactivated.
  • the metrological detection of the or each test print can either be done in-line for printing within the press or offline for printing outside the press. Then, when the metrological detection takes place in-line for printing within the printing press, a fully automated detection and adjustment of the basic setting of Farbzonenstellelementen of inking done. Then, when the measurement is taken off-line outside the printing press, a semi-automated detection and adjustment of the basic setting of the ink zone adjusting elements can be realized.
  • the basic setting of the inking zone actuation elements of the inking units of all the printing units involved in the printing can be carried out, wherein this is preferably carried out successively for each printing unit and thus inking unit.
