Definitions

  • the invention relates to a paper for coating a surface, in particular a wood-based panel, with a top having a digitally applied decor produced from at least one binder containing ink, wherein the decor is coated with a protective layer, and a method for applying a Decor on a top of a wood-based panel by means of a decorative paper, which is connected to the wood-based panel, and on the digital printing process a decor is printed.
  • a support panel for example made of a wood material such as MDF, HDF or OSB, is coated with several layers of possibly different materials. In this case, a large variety of surfaces can be reproduced by a printed decor and possibly by an embossed, with the decor corresponding structure.
  • a common floor covering is prepared, for example, by providing a wood-based panel and optionally pretreating it, applying a printed paper imprinted with a pattern of printed wood, applying at least one additional wear layer and compressing the applied layers in a press under pressure and temperature influence with the wood-based panel , The plate is then divided into individual panels, which in turn are provided with connecting elements. At the installation site, the floor covering can then be assembled from the individual panels.
  • an expedient wear layer can consist, for example, of a melamine resin to which abrasion-resistant particles (eg corundum) are mixed in order to make the surface of the finished panel more resistant to the loads occurring during walking.
  • the decor is printed by gravure printing, for example by means of one or more pressure rollers on the decorative paper.
  • gravure printing for example by means of one or more pressure rollers on the decorative paper.
  • digital printing process is used.
  • composition of an ink for ink-jet printers is known, which can be provided with pigments for printing a decoration and is also useful as a protective layer when formed colorless or almost colorless.
  • the US 2005/0203210 A1 describes the composition of a transparent ink provided with fine polymer particles which can be used in an inkjet printer. With this ink, the gloss level of a printed decor can be improved.
  • the use of a digitally printed paper often requires one compared to the use of one in the conventional one Gravure printing of printed paper an extreme variation of the process parameters.
  • the load on the decor paper used can be reduced by using adhesives which can be processed at significantly lower temperatures than the adhesives used as standard, so that the temperature load is reduced.
  • the printed paper can be provided with a protective lacquer as a protective layer in a separate step before further processing.
  • a protective lacquer as a protective layer in a separate step before further processing.
  • other problems such as penetration problems during impregnation or adhesion problems during painting, may result in later stages of the production process due to the protective coating. This is to be expected in particular when the protective layer / resist is chemically very different from the binder of the printing ink or the binders of the printing inks.
  • a too dense protective layer may e.g.
  • a protection layer / lacquer layer consisting of an unfavorably selected material can lead to adhesion problems when applying further layers, for example a lacquer layer, which may necessitate the additional application of a primer.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to reduce the expense of processing a printed in the digital printing process decorative paper and reduce the costs incurred.
  • the paper printed in the digital printing process should be just like a gravure printing process printed decorative paper can be processed.
  • a generic paper for coating a surface characterized by the fact that the protective layer consists entirely of one or all binders of at least one ink with which the decor was created.
  • the properties of the protective layer are largely determined by the binder (s) contained in the printing ink.
  • the protective layer thus contains no further components except the binder (s).
  • the binders of several printing inks can be combined.
  • the protective layer can be applied either directly from the digital printer through the existing printheads or directly to the printing process then by an additional device which is integrated in the digital printer or on the Digital printer is attached.
  • the protective layer can be applied directly after the printing of the decor.
  • the protective layer causes the following, sometimes associated with high temperatures, high pressures or friction Production steps have no influence on the adhesion of the color pigments to the paper.
  • the printed decor paper can be used in the further process just as a conventional, printed in the gravure decorative paper.
  • the application of the protective layer takes place in the shortest possible time interval for printing on the paper, preferably immediately after the printing process.
  • a separate device can be used, which is attached to or in the digital printer.
  • Print head of the digital printer is used to apply the protective layer.
  • This structure is particularly cost-effective and reduces the footprint of the entire system.
  • the protective layer can consist of a binder or substantially of a binder of one of the printing inks
  • the use of a printhead of the digital printer for applying the protective layer is simplified.
  • Both water-based and UV-reactive inks can be used as printing ink for printing the decoration on the paper.
  • the proposed technology is thus not limited to a particular color, as well as the other process parameters remain unchanged in the further processing of decorative paper compared to a printed in decorative printing paper decor paper.
  • the application amount of the protective layer is preferably between 3 and 20 g / m 2 and can be adapted to the paper quality and the intended use of the finished product.
  • the protective layer can be dried to allow a quick and easy processing of the printed and coated with the protective layer paper.
  • the drying can be done for example by means of UV or infrared light. Often already in the existing production facilities a corresponding drying section provided, so that even the drying of the protective layer requires no costly reconstruction of the production plant or other fundamental changes in the production process.
  • one or more further layers are applied to the printed decorative paper coated with the protective layer. This is independent of the drying process and can thus be done before or after the drying of the protective layer.
  • transparent layers which are particularly resistant to abrasion, such as e.g. a layer of resin mixed with corundum or other hard particles, an overlay paper or similar layers is conceivable.
  • the protective layer is applied by a digital printer or by a method similar to digital printing, it is also possible to match the protective layer to the decor with regard to the pattern, the color or the circumference of the printed surface.
  • FIG. 1 shows schematically the structure of a paper according to the invention 1, which is connected to a wood-based panel 5 (not shown to scale).
  • the bottom layer in the figure is formed by the paper layer 2, on which a decor 3 is printed.
  • the protective layer 4 is transparent and covers the decor 3.
  • FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of a method according to the invention.
  • a paper which is suitable for printing a decoration in the digital printing process, preferably a paper which is compacted or sealed on the surface.
  • the paper is printed with an inkjet printer using digital printing.
  • an inkjet printer using digital printing.
  • a protective layer is applied to the printed paper.
  • the protective layer is preferably applied by the print heads of the digital printer used for printing on the paper and preferably consists essentially of a binder of one of the printing inks.
  • the paper is connected to a provided wood-based panel by being pressed in a press under pressure and temperature influence with the wood-based panel.
  • a drying of the protective layer can be carried out.
  • FIG. 3 shows a digital printer 6, in which the paper layer 2 is transported by means of transport 9 in the figure from left to right.
  • the print head 7 of the digital printer 6 prints the decor 3, and the additional device 8 arranged in the digital printer 6 then applies the protective layer 4 to the decor 3.
  • additional device 8 is indicated. This can, as well as the print head 7 of the digital printer 6, are used for applying the protective layer 4.
