Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of offset printing systems and more particularly the field of control devices of the material deposition step (s) 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.

  • 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 makes it possible to limit the wear of the printing over time, it nevertheless implies a considerable cost when a piece 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. a new image.
