Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for imaging a predetermined desired printing characteristic during printing, namely a predetermined relationship between prepress-based printing surface coverage values and print image area coverage values that actually form during printing, and thus a defined dot gain, ensuring print image carriers such.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates the known from the prior art approach for producing offset printed products.
  • a so-called RIP file 12 is generated in a raster image processor 11, wherein the RIP file 12 is used in an imagesetter 13 to print forms such.
  • For each ink involved in printing a printing plate 14 is produced, which are used in the printing units of a printing machine 15 to print a printed product 16.
  • a so-called printing characteristic plays an essential role, wherein a printing characteristic describes the relationship between the areal coverage values of the file 10 and thus the artwork and the areal coverage values that actually form during the printing of the printed copies 16. So shows Fig.
  • a printing characteristic 17 is plotted on the horizontally extending axis 18 of the printing surface cover values of the file 10 and on the vertical axis 19 of printed image surface coverage values of the printed copy 16.
  • the so-called dot gain 20 which depends, inter alia, on the type and setting of the printing press used for printing, the quality of the printing material used for printing and on the properties of the ink used for printing.
  • an actual pressure characteristic forming during printing must correspond as far as possible to a predetermined desired pressure characteristic. Otherwise, z. B. in the print image, a so-called color cast or other color errors occur, which adversely affects the print quality and can lead to the printing of waste.
  • the present invention is based on the problem to provide a novel method for imaging printed image carriers.
  • This problem is solved by a method according to claim 1.
  • the method according to the invention comprises at least the following steps: a) a test print image carrier is produced for at least one printing ink, namely such that a RIP file is produced from a test print original which images a gradation fine wedge with a defined number of gradation levels for the respective printing ink is generated, based on which the respective test print image carrier is imaged; b) the or each test print image carrier produced according to step a) is used to print a test print image, the test print image for at least one ink involved in printing comprising the respective gradation fine wedge having the defined number of gradation levels; c) the print image printed in step b) with the or each test print image carrier is measured such that for each gradation level of the or each gradation fine wedge an actual test print image area coverage value is determined, from the test artwork area coverage values of each gradation step of the grad
  • the method according to the invention can be carried out fully automatically or semi-automatically.
  • the method is for all known printing form based printing methods, such. B. for offset printing, gravure, planographic printing, book printing or through-pressure.
  • the method according to the invention can also be used for digital printing systems according to the direct imaging method. It is suitable for use with sheetfed presses and web presses.
  • the invention relates to a method for imaging or producing print image carriers which guarantee a predetermined desired printing characteristic during printing, wherein a predetermined desired characteristic describes a predetermined relationship between pre-print-based print cover area values and print image area coverage values actually forming during printing, and thus a defined tone value increase.
  • the method is not limited to this. Rather, the method can also be used for imaging other print media.
  • the predetermined desired pressure characteristic may be a normalized nominal pressure characteristic or a desired pressure characteristic defined in-house by a printing company in order to produce printed products in a desired print quality.
  • Fig. 2 shows such a predetermined target pressure characteristic 21, wherein in Fig. 2 on the horizontally extending axis 22, in each case printed copy surface coverage values X n and on the vertically extending axis 23, in each case print screen area coverage values Y n are plotted. Print image area coverage values of the desired pressure characteristic 21 are marked Y n-SOLL .
  • a test printing plate is produced in a first step for at least one printing ink, namely such that a preferably linear test printing original, which images a gradation fine wedge with a defined number of gradation levels for the respective printing ink, preferably a linear RIP Is generated, based on which the respective test pressure plate is preferably exposed linearly.
  • the number of gradation levels for the gradation fine wedge of the respective printing ink is arbitrary.
  • a gradation fine wedge of an ink can comprise up to 100 gradation levels, which then each represent a gradation of the area coverage values of 1%. It is also possible for a gradation fine wedge to comprise 20 gradation levels, with each gradation grade then grading area coverage values by 5%.
  • Such a non-linear RIP file is preferably generated using a pre-determined corrected target pressure characteristic stored in the raster image processor.
  • the previously determined target pressure characteristic z. B. also be determined by this method, but under no longer valid printing conditions such as a different temperature, using a different ink type, another type of printing material or the like.
  • the test printing plate or plates produced in the first step are used to print a test print image, the test print image for at least one ink involved in printing, namely the or each ink for which in the first step a corresponding test printing plate is exposed linearly was included a gradation fine wedge with the defined number of gradation levels.
  • the or each linearly exposed test printing plate is used for printing, the printing in the second step of the method according to the invention being used on the printing machine to be used for printing the actual printed image, on the printing substrate to be used for printing the actual printed image, and under Use of the print to be used for printing the actual image to be used ink and possibly the dampening solution to be used.
  • the printed image printed with the or each test printing plate is measured, namely such that for each gradation level of the or each printed gradation fine wedge, a test print image area coverage value actually formed during printing is determined.
  • an actual pressure characteristic is determined for the respective printing ink.
  • Such an actual pressure characteristic curve 24 is shown by way of example, such an actual pressure characteristic line 24 thus showing for a printing ink the relationship between the print image area coverage values and the print surface area coverage values which occurs when printing a gradation fine wedge with a linearly exposed test printing plate.
  • the metrological evaluation of the gradation levels of the or each printed gradation fine wedge for determining the respective Istdruckkennline for each ink is preferably carried out using a densitometer. Alternatively, however, another color measuring device can be used.
  • the measurement of the gradation levels of the or each printed gradation fine wedge may be offline for printing e.g. with the help of handheld instruments or fully automated measuring instruments or inline for printing with the help of fully automated measuring instruments.
  • the actual printing characteristic curve 24 determined for a printing ink is subsequently compared with the desired printing characteristic curve 21 specified for the respective printing ink such that for each printing image area coverage value Y n-SOLL specified in the nominal printing characteristic curve 21 for a defined printing surface area coverage value X n
  • Fig. 2 this is illustrated by way of example for the print original area coverage value X n of 40%, which should guarantee a print image area coverage value Y n-SOLL of 65% according to the target print characteristic 21.
  • the test printing original area coverage value X n corresponding to 40% of the printing original area coverage value X n is determined as 40% of the test printing image area coverage Y n-IST which forms in the printing and which corresponds to the actual printing characteristic 24 of FIG Fig. 2 here is 53%.
  • corrected target pressure curve for the respective ink is generated from the artwork of the actually printed image in the raster image processor a corrected RIP file used to expose the printing plates required for printing the actually printed image becomes.
  • the determined, corrected target pressure characteristic therefore represents a correction characteristic for the raster image processor, using the same for a print job printing plates are generated, by means of which then the predetermined target pressure curve 21 can be maintained for the respective ink, so which can be ensured that the actual pressure characteristics correspond to the respective desired pressure characteristics.
  • an ink-specific actual printing characteristic is determined, on the basis of which an ink-corrected corrected desired printing characteristic for the raster image processor is determined.
  • a corresponding test printing plate with a corresponding gradation fine wedge is then generated for each ink involved in the printing, in which case the respective gradation fine wedges printed with the aid of the test printing plates for the determination of the actual pressure characteristics are metrologically evaluated.
  • test printing plates would be generated with corresponding gradation fine wedges for all six inks to a corrected target pressure characteristic for the raster image processor for each of the inks to determine ink individually.
  • ink colors it is also possible for ink colors to be used for only a subset of the printing inks used for printing the actual printed image in the sense of the invention, as well as for individual printing ink-specific actual printing characteristics and for individual printing ink corrected nominal printing characteristics.
  • a corrected nominal pressure characteristic can be determined on the basis of the nominal pressure characteristic correction of a reference ink, for which an actual pressure characteristic and an ink corrected corrected nominal pressure characteristic were determined.
  • the method described above is for all known printing form based printing methods, such. B. for offset printing, gravure, planographic printing, book printing or through-pressure.
  • the method according to the invention can also be used for digital printing systems according to the direct imaging method. It is therefore not limited to the production of printing plates, but rather can also be used in the production or imaging of other print media or printing plates.
