Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for adjusting decorative prints according to claim 1 and an apparatus for carrying out this method according to claim 11.
  • Decorated backing materials e.g. Engineered wood panels are typically used as floor coverings or to cover walls and ceilings.
  • the wood-based panels used as support materials were usually coated in the past with a decorative paper, the variety of differently patterned decorative papers were no limits or are.
  • the printing techniques mainly used here are gravure printing and digital printing.
  • the gravure printing process is a printing technique in which the elements to be imaged are in the form of depressions in a printing form which is inked before printing.
  • the ink is primarily in the recesses and is due to contact pressure of the printing plate and adhesive forces on the object to be printed such. transfer a carrier material.
  • digital printing on the other hand, the print image is transferred directly from a computer to a press such as: transferred to a laser printer or inkjet printer. This eliminates the use of a static printing form.
  • digital printing is becoming more and more important. While digital printing processes were initially used mainly in the graphics industry, such as advertising agencies, advertising manufacturers or printers, it is now becoming apparent that digital printing processes are also more common in other industries. There are many reasons for this, but two major arguments can be identified. Thus, the digital printing allows the production of a printed image with a special high quality through a higher resolution and also allows a broader range of applications with high flexibility.
  • CMYK Digital printing today is performed almost exclusively using the CMYK color system.
  • the CMYK color model is a subtractive color model, where the abbreviation CMYK stands for the three color components cyan, magenta, yellow and the black component Key as color depth.
  • CMYK stands for the three color components cyan, magenta, yellow and the black component Key as color depth.
  • a color space (gamut) can be reproduced, which satisfies many requirements from various areas.
  • a decorative board manufacturer When redesigning a collection, a decorative board manufacturer must remove a minimum amount of printed decor paper or printed finish film from each decor.
  • the minimum amount of paper is usually about one ton, which is about 15,000 m 2 .
  • This decor paper must then be impregnated, pressed onto carrier plates and further processed. If exactly this décor does not succeed on the market, residual amounts are created at all stages of the value chain that can no longer be used. The resulting economic damage is significant.
  • the color of the decor was set for at least one ton of paper.
  • a further increasing trend is the ever smaller lot sizes.
  • digital printing technology can also take this trend into account. Due to the high flexibility of digital printing, it is not only possible to print on paper or film webs, but also directly on carrier plates, such as wood fiber boards. With that you can On the way to further finishing to semi-finished or finished products, such as furniture panels, laminate floors or facade panels some value-added levels are skipped, resulting in a further flexibilization and simplification of manufacturing processes.
  • a way out here is digital printing. This is currently almost exclusively used, such as indirect gravure, on decorative paper or prepregs, such as e.g. reserved papers, propagated.
  • decorative paper or prepregs such as e.g. reserved papers
  • water-based inks are used, which still have a certain water solubility even after the printing and the subsequent drying. Since in the subsequent production of the decorative surfaces at least in the decor papers still impregnation with water-soluble resins must be made, followed by a compression in a short-cycle press, the high resolution is partially degraded or destroyed by the dissolution of the colors.
  • a primer can be applied directly to a carrier plate. If a primer is applied directly to a support plate, preferably a wood-based panel, the primer on the support plate must not be made too thick, otherwise the later applied protective layers, preferably synthetic resins, the primer can not penetrate and thus after a compression in the Short-cycle press delaminations or bubbles may occur.
  • the primer should not be too thin. There is then the danger that the carrier is not completely covered, which has a negative effect on the overall color impression of the decor.
  • EP-A-2 452 829 discloses a method of applying a decor to a wood-based panel, wherein a second, digitally-printed decor is applied to a first decor produced by gravure printing (see the claims with paragraphs [0007], [0008] and [0017] of the document) ).
  • EP-A-2 636 531 also discloses a method for digital printing of wood-based panels (see Figure 1 and the claims).
  • the technical problem underlying the invention was therefore to offer a method for adapting decorative prints on carrier materials.
  • a method for the production of decorative prints of the same quality is provided on substrates whose brightness and or color are subject to fluctuations, with a consistent quality, especially color, the decorative prints is achieved regardless of fluctuations in the brightness and / or the color of the substrates ,
  • Color deviations in the print motif of decors printed by means of digital printing occur in the production process, in particular after the change from one batch of the carrier material to a new batch of the carrier material. However, color deviations can also occur between individual or several carrier plates of the same batch of carrier material.
  • the color values of the carrier plates of at least a first batch of the carrier material are first measured continuously in the method according to the invention and passed on to a computer program.
  • the color values of the carrier plates of at least one further batch of the carrier material are continuously measured and also passed on to the computer program.

If color deviations occur between the carrier plates of the at least one first batch and at least one further batch of carrier material, the color values of the digital printing for the decors of at least one further batch and / or the at least one first batch of the carrier material customized. This ensures that no color deviations occur between the printed decors of the at least one first batch of carrier material and each further batch of carrier material.
