Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a flexographic printing process.
  • Flexographic printing processes can also be carried out with printing machines that are otherwise used for offset printing, such as in US 7,934,450 B2 described. For this purpose, these offset printing machines are converted.
  • EP 0 895 858 B1 a flexographic printing method is described in which a flexographic printing plate is mounted on the printing form cylinder of an offset printing machine instead of the offset printing form.
  • the dampening unit of the offset printing machine has been removed and instead of a transfer roller of the dampening unit an anilox roller is inserted into the bearing point of the transfer roller.
  • the anilox roller is used for aniloxeinstaining in flexographic printing.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a flexographic printing process, which can be carried out by means of a less complicated conversion on an offset printing machine.
  • a coating fluid is transferred from an anilox roller directly to a rubber elastic peripheral surface of a transfer cylinder.
  • the coating fluid is transferred from the rubber elastic peripheral surface directly to a non-rubbery circumferential surface of a first cylinder, the coating fluid is transferred from the non-rubbery peripheral surface directly to a first cylinder Transfer flexographic printing on a second cylinder and the coating fluid is transferred from the flexographic printing directly to the substrate.
  • the flexographic printing process according to the invention can be implemented on an offset printing machine without complicated assembly processes. It can be used an offset printing machine, the dampening unit does not need to be removed and need only be disabled for flexographic printing. It is particularly advantageous that an anilox offset printing machine can be used, the anilox roller and / or doctor blade system both for dosing the offset ink in offset printing and for dosing the coating fluid -. As a flexo ink or a flexo - can be used multifunctionally in flexo printing. The conversion of the cylinders is also very uncomplicated.
  • a printing image-bearing offset printing plate when converting from offset printing to flexographic printing, can be removed from the first cylinder and a pressure-free cylinder winding can be clamped in place, and a blanket can be removed from the second cylinder and a flexographic printing plate can be mounted in its place.
  • the imprintless cylinder lift is square and can be a curved plate or a curved sheet of plastic or metal and can be formed by a full-color ink-carrying, imprintless offset printing plate. Such a pressure-free offset printing plate has no non-printing areas in contrast to a printing image-bearing offset printing plate.
  • the flexographic printing plate can be formed by a prepared blanket. During the preparation of the blanket, the remaining rubber layer is at least partially cut away and peeled off around the remaining printing stamp surfaces.
  • the flexographic printing plate can also be a full-surface printing form, z. B. in the form of a (not prepared) blanket.
  • FIG. 1 shows a printing machine with an anilox roller 1 to the anilox roller 1 is a transfer cylinder 2, at which a first cylinder 3 is applied. At the first cylinder 3 is a second cylinder 4, which forms a pressure gap together with a counter-pressure cylinder 5.
  • a doctor blade system 6 On the anilox roller 1 is located on a doctor blade system 6, in which a coating fluid 7 is stored.
  • the doctor blade system 6 is a chamber doctor blade and the coating fluid is a flexographic ink.
  • the coating fluid may be a UV color and may include pearlescent pigments or other specialty pigments (eg, opaque white, metallic pigments, liquid crystals, magnetic effect pigments, thermochromic inks).
  • the coating fluid may also be an electrical conductor or contain such as special pigments, for. B.
  • the transfer cylinder 2 has a rubber-elastic peripheral surface 9, and the first cylinder 3 has a non-rubber-elastic peripheral surface 10.
  • the non-rubber-elastic peripheral surface 10 is harder than the comparatively soft rubber-elastic peripheral surface 9 and may be metallic.
  • the non-rubber-elastic circumferential surface 10 is formed by a pressure-free offset printing plate which is mounted on the first cylinder 3.
  • a flexographic printing plate 11 is clamped, from which the coating fluid is transferred to the printing substrate 12 in the printing nip.
  • the printing substrate 12 may be a paper web or a paper sheet or a cardboard sheet or a film.
  • the printing press operates in flexographic printing operation.
  • FIG. 2 shows the printing press FIG. 1 after their conversion for offset printing.
  • this second setup state 18 is located on the first cylinder 3, a print image-bearing or imaged offset printing form 15 and is located on the second Cylinder 4 a blanket 16.
  • the doctor blade system 6 is an offset printing ink 14, which has been filled after removal of the coating fluid from the doctor blade system 6 in the latter during conversion.
  • one and the same doctor blade system 6 both for storing the coating fluid 7 in flexographic printing (see. FIG. 1 ) as well as for storing the offset ink 14 in offset printing.
  • the anilox roller 1 is used both in flexographic printing and in offset printing.
  • the anilox roller 1 used for flexographic printing (cf. FIG. 1 ) is replaced during conversion of the printing press to the offset printing by an offset roller for the use of anilox roller 13.
  • a first grid 19 (cf. FIG. 1 ) of the anilox roller 1 and a second screen 20 of the other anilox roller 13 differ from each other, for. B. with respect to their filling volumes or their grid structure.
  • the change of the anilox rollers 1, 13 is very inexpensive, since the necessary facilities are available anyway.
  • the anilox roller must be changed anyway for a variety of reasons, regardless of whether the anilox inking unit is a pure offset press, a pure flexographic press, or an offset / flexo press.
  • the anilox roller change is z. B. required to meet print jobs with different coating thickness or to clean the anilox roller outside the printing press.
  • FIG. 2 illustrated printing machine configuration otherwise those from FIG. 1 equivalent.
