Definitions
- Device for controlling the deposition of colored material (s) and fountain solution for offset printing system and method of implementation of the device.
- the present invention relates to the field of offset printing systems and more particularly the field of control devices of the wetting step for these printing systems.
- Offset printing systems allow the implementation of a major process among the various current printing processes. This process stems directly from the prior lithography printing process, with the notable difference that it allows a greater flexibility of operation by allowing printing of several thousand copies on a wide variety of substrates (paper, cardboard polymeric .. .). Lithographic printing processes are flat printing processes. We consider here that the offset printing processes use bendable printing plates.
- the principle of offset printing is based on the principle of water-fat repulsion by creating an emulsion between an aqueous wetting solution and a fatty ink successively deposited on an engraved copper and aluminum offset plate.
- the engraved plate then comprises the image to be printed by the offset method.
- the aqueous solution during the wetting step is deposited to adhere to the aluminum parts of the surface of the plate while, during inking, the fatty ink is repelled by the water on the copper parts of the plate.
- the ink thus deposited on the offset plate is then transmitted to an intermediate printing roller called blanket before being transferred to the final substrate.
- blanket an intermediate printing roller
- this technique has the disadvantage of having an image to be printed which is dependent on the etching of the offset plate. Also, if this technique helps to limit the wear of printing in time, it nonetheless involves a significant cost when a piece of machinery must be replaced. This cost is therefore important for each replacement of the engraved offset plate, that is to say sometimes when it breaks, but especially more commonly whenever the image itself to be printed must be changed for printing. of a new one.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome this drawback of the prior art by proposing a device capable of implementing an impression which retains the advantages and properties of the offset process but which also makes it possible to reduce the production and printing costs. manufacturing machinery for printing a new image.

- the maiilage comprises unitary surfaces of rectangular shape arranged relative to each other so as to make a grid of the surface.
- the maiilage comprises hexagonal shaped unitary surfaces arranged relative to each other so as to achieve a honeycombing of the surface honeycomb.
- the value of the width of a lipophobic and hydrophobic peripheral surface corresponds to a value of between 5 and 50% of the width of a lipophilic and hydrophilic unit surface.
- the width of a unit surface capable of receiving the wetting liquid or the colored material is at least equal to or greater than 35 ⁇ .
- the width of a unit surface capable of receiving the wetting liquid or the colored material is at least equal to 5 ⁇ .
- the offset plate (s) are set in motion by displacement means, the displacement means setting in motion the offset plate incrementally between each deposition of fountain solution and / or colored material deposited by the the nozzles in the center of at least one unitary surface, each increment corresponding to the size of a half-cell.
- the number of offset plates corresponds to the number of fundamental colors.
- the invention also relates to a printing system characterized in that it incorporates a device for controlling the wetting according to the invention.
- the printing system further comprises a drying device for drying the fountain solution and / or colored matter deposited on the substrate.
- the system comprises a counterpressure cylinder for each offset plate, the substrate passing between the counterpressure cylinder (s) and the offset plate (s).
- the system comprises at least one blanket for each offset plate, the substrate passing between the counterpressure cylinder (s) and the blanket (s).
- the invention also relates to a printing method implementing at least one device according to the invention, characterized in that it comprises successively at least:
- the offset plate having a plurality of hydrophilic and lipophilic unit surfaces separated by hydrophobic and lipophobic peripheral surfaces by the at least one of the fountain solution deposition nozzles of the deposition means; an offset plate,

- the term “fountain solution” should be understood with a broad interpretation. This term thus denotes any hydrophilic aqueous solution capable of adhere appropriately to the offset plate on hydrophilic surfaces, to be repelled by hydrophobic surfaces and to repel the solution or solutions of fatty ink to be printed on the substrate.
- colors should be understood with a broad interpretation. This term may thus denote inks of different colors, for example, fundamental colors such as cyan, yellow and magenta.
- substrate should be understood in a broad sense, ie as any type of flexible or rigid substrate adapted to work with the printing system.
- substrates can thus be of cellulosic types (paper, cardboard, wood), composites, textile or synthetic in continuous mode or sheet-fed mode and whose thickness can vary from a few tens of micrometers to several centimeters.
- the present invention makes it possible to preserve the principle of the offset printing process by relying on the use of at least one universal offset plate (2) whose surface is arranged to receive and maintain the deposition of a layer of liquid wetting and coloring matter according to predefined arrangement.
- the arrangement of the wetting liquid layer and colored materials on the surface of the plate is defined by controlled deposition and not only by etching the surface of the offset plate (2).
- the device for controlling the deposition of colored material (s) and fountain solution is achieved thanks to the combination of two elements which allow on the one hand the precise deposition of the fountain solution and colored materials. on the surface of the offset plate and on the other hand maintaining the arrangement of the wetting liquid deposited on the offset plate.
- the device may comprise an offset plate (2) for each color to be reflected on the substrate.
- the device may comprise an offset plate for each fundamental color such that a first offset plate (2a) transfers a colored material of a fundamental color defined for this offset plate with the fountain solution, then a second offset plate (2b) transfers a colored material of another fundamental color defined for the second offset plate with the fountain solution and so on for each fundamental color.
- a first offset plate (2a) transfers a colored material of a fundamental color defined for this offset plate with the fountain solution
- a second offset plate (2b) transfers a colored material of another fundamental color defined for the second offset plate with the fountain solution and so on for each fundamental color.
- This example is not limiting.
- Other colors than the basic colors can be used.
- the deposition control device of colored material (s) and fountain solution of the invention is thus constructed with a deposition means (1, 1 a, 1 b, 1 c) associated with a plate (2 , 2a, 2b, 2c) controlled offset for each offset plate adapted to precisely control the deposition of the wetting liquid and the colored material on the surface of the corresponding offset plate (2) associated with the deposition means.
- the deposition means (1) controlled for the one or more materials and the fountain solution is produced, for example, by at least one group of heads comprising at least one deposition head comprising at least one nozzle (Ejection) projecting at least one fountain solution and a depositing head comprising at least one blast nozzle projecting at least one colored material.
- the ejection nozzle (100) projecting the colored material may be, for example, a thermal nozzle where the phenomenon of vaporization of the colored material or materials which are then deposited on the surface of the offset plate (2) is used. The material or materials are thus precisely deposited on the offset plate (2).
- each depositing head comprises at least one nozzle individually controlled by a computer system and a digital file.
- Each head of a deposition means is intended to project at least one fountain solution or a colored material onto a surface of an offset plate so that all the projections produce an image and / or a text on the surface of the offset plate corresponding to the image and / or the text of the digital file corresponding to the colored material projected by the depositing head projecting a colored matter and negative for the head or heads projecting a fountain solution.
- the device may be associated, for example, with at least one means (6,
- This cleaning means (6) may be intended for recovering the residues of colored matter and / or fountain solution projected remaining on the surface of the offset plate (2) and which have not been transferred to the substrate (4) .
- This means (6, 6a, 6b, 6c) of cleaning thus allows a permanent cleaning of the surface of the offset plate before projection of new jets of colored matter and fountain solution.
- This means (6, 6a, 6b, 6c) of cleaning may, for example, be composed of a set of squeegees and rollers. Some rollers and scrapers may be in direct contact with the surface of the offset plate (2).
- the cleaning device (3) may also comprise a blowing means such as a blower.
- this assembly may be completed, for example, and without limitation, by means of adding water, or solvents, by heating means or cooling means.
- the cleaning means (6, 6a, 6b, 6c) of the device may comprise a combination of these different devices so as to be versatile and able to clean different type of material residue.
- the device also rests on the surface of the offset plate which is arranged to allow accurate retention of the fountain solution and the colored material deposited on the surface of the plate.
- This maintenance of accuracy is ensured by an offset plate (2) which has a universal surface adapted to interact with the fountain solution and the colored material deposited by reversibly fixing it.
- the offset plate (2) has a surface comprising a mesh of a plurality of hydrophilic and lipophilic unit zones (9), each of these zones being surrounded by a delimitation or hydrophobic and lipophobic peripheral area (8) which separates it from its neighbors direct also hydrophilic.
- the surface of the offset plate (2) produces a mesh of hydrophilic and lipophilic unit zones (9) identical to each other and where each of them produces the smallest unit area capable of receiving a controlled deposition of wetting liquid and / or colored materials.
- Each of these hydrophilic and lipophilic zones (9) has a surface necessary and sufficient to receive a single dose of fountain solution and / or colored matter deposited by the deposition means (1).
- the deposition means (1) is positioned opposite a hydrophilic and lipophilic surface, for example by being centered on this surface, to project therein the wetting liquid or colored material.
- each deposition means (1) of the fountain solution is mounted to move along an axis (1a, 1his, 1bbis, 1cbis) to allow lateral displacements in a width of the offset plate.
- the axis carrying the deposition means (1) can be movable to allow the deposition means (1) to move in a length of the offset plate.
- the offset plate (2) is constructed in the form of a planar structure.
- the displacement of each deposition means (1) in the width of the offset plate (2) can be replaced by the use of a plurality of deposition means arranged side by side and positioned in such a manner to be facing a respective unit area (9).
- the displacement of the deposition means (1) in the length of the offset plate (2) can be replaced by a displacement of the offset plate itself, for example when the offset plate is formed by the surface of a cylinder.
- the cylinder when it is rotated on its axis, then allows the displacement of the offset plate relative to the deposition means (1).
- the deposition of the fountain solution and the colored material on some of the unit areas (9) is predefined according to the image to be printed.
- the preparation of the image to be printed at one or more adapted devices (10) may thus require programming, for example automated, of the projection of the fountain solution and of the colored material in correlation with the moving the deposition means (1) relative to the offset plate (2).
- the offset plate (2) has a surface comprising a mesh of a plurality of hydrophilic and lipophilic unit zones (9) capable of retaining or fixing a material, respectively aqueous and fatty. Each of these areas is surrounded by an at least lipophobic peripheral area, to repel fats such as ink.
- a hydrophilic peripheral zone may also be suitable, such as glass or stainless steel for example, because it will be constantly wetted by the aqueous material (Le., The fountain solution) and will not be invaded by the fat.
- a hydrophobic and lipophobic peripheral zone (8) capable of repelling the material, respectively aqueous and fatty, such as, for example, Teflon.
- the materials and / or the surface treatment of the materials within the mesh of the offset plate are adapted according to the type of material to be deposited, in particular its surface tension, so that the zones units confine the deposited material (either fountain solution or ink) and preferably that the peripheral areas are not invaded by the ink (fat in this case).
- the different unit zones (9) for fixing the wetting liquid deposits and colored materials are arranged on the surface of the offset plate (2) so as to produce a mesh.
- This mesh positions the unit areas (9) hydrophilic and lipophilic with respect to each other so as to allow cutting which divides the entire surface of the offset plate into a plurality of unit areas (9) respectively selected by the deposition means (1) of each offset plate .
- the unit areas (9) are of rectangular shape, or even square, so that the mesh of the offset plate makes a grid.
- the different unit areas (9) have a hexagonal shape to allow an arrangement between them that is honeycomb.
- This second embodiment has the advantage of providing unit areas whose shape is close to a circle. This shape is thus better adapted to receive the deposit of a drop of wetting liquid and / or colored material.
- the hexagonal shape of the different lipophilic and hydrophilic unitary zones (9) on the offset plate (2) makes it possible to reconcile an arrangement of these different zones with each other to allow an optimal mesh of the entire surface of the offset plate while being adapted to the roundness of drops of fountain solution and / or colored material which may be deposited therein.
- the different lipophilic and hydrophilic unit areas (9) on the surface of the offset plate (2) are separated by lipophobic and hydrophobic peripheral zones (8) which can, for example, provide continuity between them.
- a hydrophobic and lipophobic zone (8) which separates two consecutive lipophilic and hydrophilic zones (9) has a width of between 5 and 50% of the width of a lipophilic and hydrophilic zone ( 9).
- the hydrophobic and lipophobic zones (8) are arranged so that their width is on the one hand sufficiently wide to individualize each of the hydrophilic and lipophilic zones and to prevent a solution deposit of wetting and of colored material to move from one unit area to another, and secondly sufficiently restricted so that the repellent effect of the deposition of fountain solution or colored material on two consecutive unit areas has a sufficient repellent effect to prevent spreading of the fountain solution and / or colored material out of the unit area on which the solution or material has been deposited.
- the width of a unit area (9) is of the order of at least 10 ⁇ at 50 ⁇ , preferably 20 ⁇ at 40 ⁇ , ideally 35 ⁇ . This particular width makes it possible to produce a unitary zone which is adapted to optimally receive the deposition of a drop of fountain solution or of colored material. This width can also have a dimension of at least 5 ⁇ .
- Each offset plate is set in motion by displacement means which move the offset plate incrementally between each deposition of material (s) deposited (s) by the nozzle or nozzles in the center of at least one unit area.
- Each increment depends on the shape of the unit area so that each unit area can face a nozzle projecting a fountain solution or a color material.
- Each increment may correspond to the size of at least one half-cell.
- each increment (M) corresponds to the size of a cell.
- each increment (i2) corresponds to the size of a half-cell.
- the offset plate is moved longitudinally by an increment (i 2 ') the size of a cell so that each nozzle faces the center of a unitary surface.
- the group or groups of heads are moved longitudinally and parallel to the offset plate by one increment ( ⁇ 2 ') of the size of a cell so that each nozzle is in front of the center of a unitary surface.
- each group of heads has at least two separate nozzles of the size ( ⁇ 2 ') of one cell, one of the nozzles projecting material at one increment and the other nozzle projecting material at the next increment.

- the substrate thus passes between the counterpressure cylinder (s) (3a, 3b, 3c) and the offset plate (s).
- This or these cylinders can play the role of supporting the substrate at the time of transfer or transfer of the deposition of the fountain solution and colored materials.
- the printing system may further comprise a drying device (5) for drying the fountain solution and / or drying or polymerizing the colored material (s) deposited on the substrate (4) by the device according to the invention.
- the drying device (5) may be, for example, a heat source or any other drying means placed after the device according to the invention.
- the drying device (5) may, for example and without limitation, be a heat source, a system for polymerization by ultraviolet, infrared, electron beams, or any other source of polymerization. .
