Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for controlling or regulating a production process in the production of printed products from a printing substrate with a number of printed pages in a printing system.
  • a widespread method for controlling printed products and controlling the printing process is the application and detection of so-called print marks, via the positioning or design of which corresponding control commands for usually subsequent processing units of the printing press can be transferred.
  • An expression of such print marks are, for example, contrast marks, which are used for the cut of the printing substrate and further processing. About the position of the first edge of these contrast marks the right time for a cut can be transferred to a cutting device, so that it can be set as desired.
  • collection and stapling information for further processing can be stored and retrieved.
  • contrast marks are so far applied in a print-free track, and can be detected by means of a contrast reader. So that there are essentially no restrictions in the coding of the collection and stapling information over the length of the contrast mark, such contrast marks are usually arranged in the edge region of the printing substrate. However, this leads to the fact that the printing material web must be made significantly wider than would be given by the actual printed image or end product. Furthermore, this border area with the contrast marks must be removed in an additional processing step. In contrast, only very few information and control commands can be stored in such contrast marks, so that the scope is very limited.
  • Methods for controlling or monitoring the printing process via 2D codes are, for example, from the publications DE 10 2007 050 691 A1 .
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a method in which a plurality of pressure information for the control or regulation of a production process in a printing system can be stored on the substrate and retrieved.
  • the invention is based on the consideration that the amount of information can be increased by not only storing pressure information in one orientation over the position and length of the code, but also using the plane transversely thereto. For this reason, a 2D code is applied to the substrate containing the corresponding printing information.
  • a 2D code is defined as a code which consists of lines of different widths or points and intervening gaps with the highest possible contrast.
  • the data is not coded in one direction (one-dimensional), but in the form of an area over two dimensions.
  • 2D codes are the matrix codes (for example, the QR code, the DataMatrix code, the MaxiCode or the Aztec code), which have a two-dimensional matrix as their basic form.
  • All information about the print job and for further processing and finishing of the printed products can be stored in the 2D code as print information.
  • Information and control commands for the cutting device can also be stored in the 2D code.
  • additional print marks are provided, which control the cutting device as the previously known contrast marks on the leading edge. It is advantageous in the combination of a 2D code with the already known contrast marks that these contrast marks do not have to provide any further information about their length, since this information can be stored in the 2D code. Therefore, the use of much shorter and possibly uniform print marks is possible.
  • the position of the print mark is stored in the 2D code, so that the sensor device for the print mark can be targeted thereto. This has the further advantage that the print marks do not have to be arranged as before in a marginal area which is held pressure-free especially for the detection, but can also be arranged in the print image or in other areas of the printing material.
  • the 2D code is embodied in an advantageous embodiment as a QR code or DataMatrix code.
  • the 2D code is printed in a preferred embodiment in a print-free area of a leading or trailing edge of a printed page.
  • the Spitbar which is anyway removed in a later step.
  • the information for positioning the print marks in relation to the position of the 2D code are stored in the 2D code, so that a corresponding sensor device can determine the position of the print marks based on the position of the 2D code.
  • the print mark can be deposited in a preferred embodiment even in the 2D code, so as not to disturb the printed image and to spend any further steps in the removal of the print mark.
  • the printing information in a particularly preferred embodiment is stored multiple times or in a redundant manner in the 2D code. So that the evaluation of an area of the 2D code, the entire stored in the 2D code pressure information of the evaluation are available.
  • the 2D code is also evaluated in terms of print quality and these results used in the context of a rating on the print quality of the printed image.
  • appropriate control commands can be given to the printing units.
  • the print image can be controlled via the 2D code in the current printing and processing process and optionally regulated in order to obtain the highest possible print quality in the range of the printed image.
  • the advantages achieved by the invention are, in particular, that significantly more printing information can be stored by the extension to two-dimensional marks.
  • These two-dimensional codes are much better suited to their surroundings so that they can be detected more easily and no longer need to keep a large unprinted area around these marks.
  • the material waste during production is also considerably reduced.
  • the data is coded in the form of an area over two dimensions, which thus have a two-dimensional matrix as the basic form.
  • 2D codes it is also possible to further increase the information density by using several gray levels or colors of the filled and thus occupied fields of the matrix and / or by using different shapes in the occupied fields.
  • this would mean that the fields filled in black in the DataMatrix code would also be filled out in a different gray level or color.
  • other shapes such as circles, triangles, or other shapes could also be used.
  • a corresponding two-dimensional code would then be deposited only how the gray levels or colors and / or the shapes of the filled fields in the coding or decoding are to be evaluated.
  • FIG. 1 A possible method for controlling or regulating a production process in the production of printed products from a printing substrate with a number of printed pages in a printing system is shown in the block diagram FIG. 1 shown.
  • the printing units apply the 2D code and a contrast mark for substantially each signature individually to the printing substrate.
  • the 2D code is printed in digital printing specifically in the Spitbar of the substrate, ie in the area that is usually used to clean the printing nozzles.
  • the printing information stored in the 2D code is manifold and ranges from information on the current printing area to control information for the further and final processing of the printed product.
  • the printing information also includes the relative position of the printed contrast mark to the 2D code. This has the advantage that the contrast mark can be found specifically by a contrast reader and therefore does not have to be arranged in a pressure-free environment or must be searched for.
  • a position of the 2D code is determined within a first signature.
  • a corresponding detection device is operated in the form of a camera in a search mode, which creates images in a kind of panoramic image over the entire width of the printing material.
  • the recorded images are superimposed by at least one code size, so that at least one image contains the complete 2D code and this can therefore be completely recognized.
  • the camera can be aligned to recognize and evaluate the following 2D codes.
  • An evaluation unit evaluates in step 120 the 2D code detected by the camera with regard to the printing information and in particular also with regard to the positioning of the associated contrast mark of the same signature.
  • the information for positioning the contrast mark is transferred to a control unit of a contrast reader, so that it can be positioned accordingly.
  • the evaluation unit also evaluates the additional printing information and optionally sends further control and regulating signals to further units of the printing system for the production and processing of the printed product. It is likewise possible that the evaluation unit determines the print quality of the 2D code and transmits corresponding control signals to the printing units in order to increase the print quality.
  • the contrast reader can recognize this particularly easily in method step 140 and initiate the method steps corresponding to the contrast mark. This may include in particular the triggering of the cutting process.
  • the camera for detecting the 2D code after the first signature is in an operating mode in which, in addition to the readout of the printing information, the position of the 2D code is only controlled in order to detect changes in terms of the orientation of the contrast sensor. This is illustrated in method step 150.
  • the determined data are then again, as already explained in method steps 130 and 140, evaluated for the next signature and further processed.
  • FIG. 2 An apparatus for carrying out the method described above is in FIG. 2 shown.
  • This 2D code 4 contains information about the current print job or its associated print page and for further processing of this print page. Furthermore, it contains information for positioning a contrast mark 6 in the form of coordinates x, y in relation to the position of the 2D code 4.
  • a detection device 10 On a traverse 8, which is aligned transversely to the web running direction B and extends over the entire width of the printing substrate, a detection device 10 is arranged in the form of a camera and a contrast sensor 12 in the form of a contrast reader.
  • the detection device 10 is designed to detect the entire width of the printing material 1 in a panorama mode and thus to determine the position of the 2D code 4.
  • the detection device sends the image of the detected 2D code 4 to an evaluation unit, not shown, which determines the corresponding printing information from the 2D code 4 and in particular also the positioning of the contrast mark 6. These determined coordinates for the contrast mark 6 are forwarded to the evaluation unit together with corresponding control commands for positioning the contrast sensor 12 thereon.
  • the contrast sensor 12 can then find the contrast mark 6 or the rising edge of the contrast mark 6 in a particularly simple and secure manner and cause the corresponding triggering of control commands based on the contrast mark 6, such as the cross section through the cutting device 14.
  • the contrast mark 6 can not only be kept very small, it can also be hidden in the print area 2.
  • an arrangement of the contrast mark 6 in the area between the pressure areas 2 is conceivable.
