Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing printed products, in particular softcover books, with which both the envelope and the contents of the printed product can be produced simultaneously in one and the same printing line with one and the same printer.
- the envelopes were printed, typically in the form of printed Individual sheets.
- Another intermediate product was a loose envelope.
- the signature stack or book block was first processed on the back, i. in particular milled or roughened and then provided with adhesive. Thereafter, the envelope was fed and firmly bonded to the signature stack (or book block).
- devices are also required which check whether the two merged partial products actually belong together (this is the case in particular in the case of personalized printed products in which a corresponding mix-up is to be ruled out, as for exam forms for students or at customer-specific bank data brochures, which are issued today especially in the private banking sector).
- the printed product or the bound book is then trimmed to up to three pages.
- a method for producing printed products, in particular softcover books, with an integrated envelope comprising at least the following steps: (a) printing on a paper web or of individually supplied paper sheets, preferably by means of digital printing; (b) optionally applying an adhesive coating to the paper web or sheets of paper; (c) single or multiple folding and cutting of the paper web into signatures (the cutting can be carried out before or after the folding, depending on the application) or one or more folds of the paper sheets into signatures; (d) optionally applying an adhesive coating to the signatures; (e) stacking the signatures into a signature stack having at least an uppermost and a lowermost signature; (f) unfolding the top sheet of the top signature or the bottom sheet of the bottom signature and applying an adhesive layer in at least the portion of the unfolded sheet which includes at least the spine and / or a spine adjacent portion of the signature stack (ie, the final printed product ); (g) transferring the unfolded and adhesive coated sheet around the spine of the signature stack so as
- the inventive method can be carried out inline without interrupting the process chain.
- steps (f), (g) and (h) are performed off-line.
- the cost advantages are obvious - in contrast to a conventional softcover printed product accounts for the Pre-production of the envelope, the binding process and the regularly complex control, whether envelope and content match - which in the negative case, moreover, requires a stop of the plant and / or a subsequent production.
- the envelope and spine are simultaneously labeled or printed with the contents, ie the content is indicated both on the front and back as well as on the back.
- Another positive aspect of the inventive method is that paper can be saved, as compared to the conventional binding process eliminates the milling and roughening of the paper. In addition, only one type of paper must be used according to the inventive method.
- pruning of the printed product can be dispensed with on up to three pages.
- the invention is basically used for the production of rather inexpensive printed products, which generally do not have to have a particularly long service life (for example, study books and other "disposable products", etc.).
- a preferred embodiment of the present invention takes place before or during the stacking of the signatures of the adhesive application to the top and / or Bottom of the individual signatures.
- an adhesive application takes place in the back region of the signature stack.
- the adhesive can be applied in strips transversely or else over the full area over the back of the already completed signature stack (which remains correspondingly aligned). This solution is less time consuming than the bonding of each signature and also provides good stability of the stack. In addition, it gives the pile back a certain flexibility.
- the adhesive layer is designed in the form of a (conventional) adhesive application or in the form of a double-sided adhesive tape.
- a double-sided adhesive tape or tapes
- the adhesive tape may also be, for example, a prefabricated adhesive strip, which is activated by the heat after the topmost or the lowermost signature sheet has been transferred around the stack.
- prefabricated adhesive strips can in principle be used for all adhesive applications in connection with the method according to the invention.
- the adhesive jobs are from Cold adhesives, hot adhesives or hotmelts (eg polyurethane adhesive) or formed from a combination of cold and hot adhesives.
- hot adhesives or hotmelts eg polyurethane adhesive
- bonding takes place immediately when the cover sheet is folded over or after heat transfer has taken place.
- one or more grooves are introduced into the paper web sections or paper sheets (or signature sheets) provided as the uppermost or the lowest signature.
- a grooving serves to facilitate the transfer of the respective cover sheet by a corresponding weakening of the paper.
- the grooves are preferably arranged so that they correspond to the thickness of the printed product or softcover book. In other words, the (paper) surface between the preferably two parallel grooves forms the back of the printed product or softcover book.
- the unfolded cover sheet is thus folded twice, ie each along the grooves (which define corresponding inflexible lines) when folded over about 90 °.
- the creasing is usually done before the corresponding sheet (ie, either the sheet cut from the paper sheet or the sheet fed separately) is folded and, like the adhesive coating, can be dynamically and automatically adjusted for the desired thickness of the printed product.
- a perforation or a trace of water droplets can basically be provided to weaken the paper.
- the paper web sections or sheets of paper (or signature sheets) provided as the uppermost or the lowest signature are printed with a stability-increasing coating (i.e., preferably in step (a) of the process according to the invention).
- a stability-increasing coating i.e., preferably in step (a) of the process according to the invention.
- either the uppermost sheet of the uppermost signature or the lowermost sheet of the lowermost signature is formed with a length which is substantially longer than the length of the remaining signature sheets by the thickness of the spine of the printed product.
- the cutting of the paper web or the feeding of the paper sheets must be carried out such that the paper web section or the sheet of paper, which is to form the uppermost or the lowest signature to the thickness of the product to be produced longer than the others web sections or paper sheets which form the content of the printed product.
- the lowermost or the uppermost sheet in the lowest or highest signature ie, the cover sheet
- a projection X which compensates for the resulting gap L.
- the unfolded and adhesive-coated (cover) sheet is cut at its free end along the adhesive layer.
- a preferred market practice is to cut off the cover sheet parallel to the spine (i.e., along the adhesive layer at its free end) prior to transfer. Obtained in this way a possibility of bonding analogous to a binding means KaylzelstMail.
- the complete printed product can then be introduced as a (cheap) precursor, for example in a hardcover envelope (as a more expensive end product).
- Fig. 1 a production line for printed products or softcover books according to the prior art is illustrated.
- a corresponding paper web is first printed.
- the paper web is then folded in a folding cross-cutting module 2 and separated into individual signatures 7.
- a folding cross-cutting module 2 instead of a combined folding cross-cutting module 2 but also a separate folding module 2a and a separate cross cutter 2b can be used.
- the isolated signatures 7 are stacked.
- the envelopes for the subsequent printed product or softcover book are printed or produced (ie typically as printed single sheets).
- the finished envelopes 4a are combined in a further step with the signature stacks (which are also referred to as book blocks) from the stacking station 3. This is done regularly in a binding station 5. Following the binding station 5, the bound products are fed to a trimming station, i. usually a three-side cutter 6.
- Fig. 2 illustrates a section of a printed paper web 10 with printing direction D from top to bottom.
- the correspondingly printed signatures a are folded once in the longitudinal direction, ie around the line 11, and then cross-cut along the lines 12 (ie, the cutting is carried out after folding) and then stacked thereon.
- Signatures produced in this way are basically known from the above-mentioned prior art; but they are also used in connection with the inventive method.
- Fig. 3 is a section of a printed paper web 10 'illustrates, with printing direction D turn from top to bottom.
- signature sheets a ' are provided, which are folded twice in the longitudinal direction, that is to say around the lines 11', and then cross-cut along the lines 12 '(ie here the cutting is carried out after the folding) and finally stacked one on the other.
- Individual sections of the signature sheets a ' can also be glued together during folding (ie approximately in the region of one of the fold lines 11' with a free end of the signature sheet a ').
- Signatures produced in this way are also basically of the above-mentioned prior art known; but they are also used in connection with the inventive method.
- Fig. 4 shows another example of a section of a printed paper web 10 '', with printing direction D in turn from top to bottom.
- Signature sheets a ", b are provided here, which are transversely cut along the lines 12" in the transverse direction and then crossfolded along the lines 11 "(ie, the cutting is carried out before folding) and subsequently stacked on top of each other.
- the signature sheets b have over the signature sheets a "on a supernatant X, which compensates for the subsequent transfer to a signature stack or book block in about the thickness of the back of the subsequent printed product (or the resulting gap L, see Fig. 8a and b below.
- the Fig. 5 now includes a schematic representation of a production line for printed products or softcover books according to the inventive method.
- the individual process steps can be carried out directly behind each other, ie inline, but basically, as mentioned, there is also the possibility of processing individual process steps offline.
- the basic procedure is as follows: First, in a printer 1, preferably a digital printer, the paper web is printed. Subsequently, the paper web is folded in a folding module 2a. Thereafter, the cross-cutting 2b of the paper web takes place in a cutting module, the individual signatures being produced (ie except in the case of Fig. 4 Where it is first cut and then folded). Then be the cut signatures stacked in a stacking station 3.
- the production of the envelope ie the transfer of the top or bottom signature to the respective signature stack or book block
- a special production module 4 * the special production module 4 *.
- Fig. 6b is then a stack 13 'of double-folded and with each other and bonded together signatures 7' illustrates, which from about a paper web according to Fig. 3 was produced. Again, between the individual stacked signatures 7 'applied an adhesive application 14' on the top or bottom, again in each case in the vicinity of the pile back or in the vicinity of the located in the back fold lines 11 '(but not in the pile back itself).
- the Fig. 6c and 6d correspond to those described above Fig. 6a and 6b with the difference that the respective lowest signature 7x or 7 ' X has a projection X with respect to the other signatures 7 or 7' of the stacks 13 or 13 '.
- the signature with the supernatant 7 X or 7 ' X can approximately according to the paper web according to Fig. 4 In principle, however, it is also conceivable that the extended signature sheet is produced in a modified process from longitudinally folded paper webs. The supernatant X over the other signatures 7 or 7 'should compensate later, ie after the transfer, approximately the thickness of the spine.
- Fig. 7a or 7b will now be the next process step of the inventive method over the above Fig. 6a and 6b illustrated.
- the cover sheet 19 or 19' of the respectively lowest signature 7 or 7 ' has been unfolded, so that it now approximately at right angles to the back of the stack 13 or 13 '.
- an adhesive layer 16 or 16 ' is then applied to the inside of the unfolded cover sheet 19 or 19'.
- the length of the adhesive layer 16 or 16 'and the thickness of the back of the stack 13 or 13' are otherwise not to be seen to scale (this applies in principle to all the figures).
- Fig. 8a or 8b is now illustrated as the next process step of the inventive method, as each unfolded cover sheet 19 or 19 'with the adhesive layer 16 or 16' around the stack 13 or 13 '(around) is placed, and initially approximately around the lowermost adhesive application 14 or 15 'around and then around the uppermost signature 7 or 7' or else the uppermost adhesive application 14 or 15 '.
- a first Umlegekante 17a and a second Umlegekante 17b are formed accordingly, between which the back 18 or 18 'of the printed product is formed.
- the adhesive layer 16 or 16 'in this case runs over the entire thickness of the back 18 or 18' and further preferably also forms a (smaller) lateral section 16a or 16a 'in order to be able to ensure optimum stability of the printed product.
- the printed products are regularly pressed in a final process step, in particular to press the envelope to the contents and thus to increase the overall composite stability (this of course applies to all embodiments shown).
- FIG. 9a to d Another embodiment of the inventive method is in the Fig. 9a to d illustrated.
- the free end 19a or 19a 'of the cover sheet 19 or 19' is cut off or cut off along the end of the adhesive layer 16 or 16 'pointing away from the stack 13 or 13'.
- the thus shortened cover sheet 19 or 19 'around the stack 13 or 13' folded ie in principle analogous to the Fig. 8a to d
- there is at the top of the stack 13 or 13 'a shortened envelope which is referred to as Umfalz or Desilzel 20 and 20'.
- the gluing achieved in this way may be somewhat more flexible than, for example, in the case of the stack Fig. 6a (which may be desirable depending on the type of application), in addition, the adhesive application can be faster in time and less expensive.
- the further procedure then corresponds to the Fig. 7a, 7c and 8a That is, it is applied to the unfolded cover sheet 19, an adhesive layer 16, which covers the rear of the stack 13 and a smaller lateral area 16a after folding.
- a gap L remains to the other signatures 7 of the stack 13, which, however, in turn can be avoided by the use of a signature 7x with a supernatant X. in principle
- This solution is also applicable for stack 13 'about after Fig. 6b ,
- FIG. 11 Another embodiment of the present invention is disclosed in Fig. 11 illustrated.
- the adhesive layer 22 basically corresponds to the adhesive layer 16 known from the previous examples, but it is preferably made slightly thicker than in those.
- the adhesive layer 22 is used when folding the cover sheet 19 for the (sole) bonding of the signatures 7 of the stack 13. It is preferably pressed during the transfer in the spaces between the individual signatures in the back region of the stack to create a stable composite. Furthermore, the adhesive layer 22 also includes a lateral region 22a.
- Fig. 12 a still further embodiment of the inventive method is shown.
- the starting point here is a stack 13 with singly folded signatures 7 glued together in the region of the top or bottom side (ie approximately according to FIG Fig. 6a
- the adhesive layer 16 ie, about Fig. 7c
- the folded (bottom) signature 7 is so glued to the stack 13 by means of the double-sided adhesive tape or tapes.
- the double-sided adhesive tape 23 also includes a lateral portion 23a.
- the gap L can be compensated by using a lowermost signature 7 x with a supernatant X again.
- this variant can also be used in connection with stacks 13 'according to approximately Fig. 6b or 7b.
- Fig. 13 Another variant of the inventive method is in Fig. 13 illustrated.
- the starting point in turn, is a stack 13 of simply folded and glued-together signatures 7, although after the lowermost signature 7 has been moved, only a (relatively narrow) adhesive layer 24 for the side region of the stack 13 is applied to the inside of the cover sheet 19, which approximately the lateral region 16a of the adhesive layer 16 according to Fig. 8a equivalent.
- the folded signature 7 or the folded envelope sheet 19 is glued only in the side region of the printed product or softcover book, but not in the back. In this way, damage to the spine during the opening of the finished printed product or the book can be avoided in any case, but at least reduced.
- the adhesive layer 24 can also be configured as a (prefabricated) double-sided adhesive tape or tape.
- the gap L can be compensated by using a signature 7x with a supernatant X.
- this variant can basically also in Connection with a signature stack 13 'according to Fig. 6b respectively. Fig. 7b be applied.
- the inside of the cover sheet 19 of the lowermost signature 7 is provided with respectively different adhesive layers 24 and 25 (ie adhesive layers preferably made of different adhesives) for the back or side region of the printed product.
- the two adhesive layers 24 and 25 are preferably applied separately from each other, ie they do not regularly form a continuous or merging adhesive layer.
- the adhesive layers 24 and 25 can each also be designed as (prefabricated) double-sided adhesive tapes or tapes.
- a stronger bonding eg by the use of a slightly thicker adhesive layer and / or a stronger adhesive
- in the back region 18 can for a higher elasticity (eg by using a slightly thinner adhesive layer and / or a less strong or more flexible adhesive).
- the gap L can be compensated by the use of a signature 7x with a supernatant X again. Furthermore, this variant can in principle also in connection with a signature stack 13 'according to Fig. 6b respectively. Fig. 7b be applied.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Druckprodukten, insbesondere von Softcover-Büchern, mit dem sowohl der Umschlag als auch der Inhalt des Druckprodukts gleichzeitig in ein und derselben Druckstrasse mit ein und demselben Drucker hergestellt werden kann.The invention relates to a method for producing printed products, in particular softcover books, with which both the envelope and the contents of the printed product can be produced simultaneously in one and the same printing line with one and the same printer.
Bislang kam vor allem bei der Produktion von digital gedruckten Broschüren, insbesondere von Softcover-Büchern, regelmässig ein Verfahren zum Einsatz, welches die getrennte Produktion von Umschlag und Innenteil bzw. Inhalt (d.h. üblicherweise einem Signaturstapel oder einem Blattstapel, beides kann auch als Buchblock bezeichnet werden) zum Gegenstand hatte. Die dabei in getrennten Arbeitsgängen und oftmals auf verschiedenen Maschinen hergestellten Teilprodukte mussten anschliessend aufwendig zusammengeführt und verklebt werden.So far, especially in the production of digitally printed brochures, especially softcover books, regularly a method was used, which is the separate production of envelope and inner part or content (ie usually a signature stack or a stack of sheets, both can also be referred to as a book block be). The partial products produced in separate operations and often on different machines then had to be laboriously brought together and glued together.
Konkret wurde gemäss diesem bekannten Verfahren zunächst eine Papierbahn bedruckt, welche anschliessend zur Herstellung der Signaturen gefalzt und quergeschnitten wurde. Die einzelnen Signaturen wurden dann in einer Stapelvorrichtung zu einem Signaturstapel als Zwischenprodukt aufeinandergestapelt. In diesem Zusammenhang wird auf die in
In einem separaten Prozessschritt wurden die Umschläge bedruckt und zwar typischerweise in Form von bedruckten Einzelbögen. Als weiteres Zwischenprodukt entstand so ein loser Umschlag.In a separate process step, the envelopes were printed, typically in the form of printed Individual sheets. Another intermediate product was a loose envelope.
Im Anschluss daran erfolgte das Zusammenführen der Umschläge und der Signaturstapel (bzw. Buchblöcke), d.h. der eigentliche Bindevorgang. Hierbei wurde der Signaturstapel bzw. Buchblock zunächst am Rücken bearbeitet, d.h. insbesondere gefräst oder aufgeraut und anschliessend mit Klebstoff versehen. Danach wurde der Umschlag zugeführt und fest mit dem Signaturstapel (bzw. Buchblock) verklebt.Following this, the merging of the envelopes and the signature stacks (or book blocks), i. the actual binding process. Here, the signature stack or book block was first processed on the back, i. in particular milled or roughened and then provided with adhesive. Thereafter, the envelope was fed and firmly bonded to the signature stack (or book block).
In diesem Kontext sind in der Regel auch Vorrichtungen nötig, welche überprüfen, ob die beiden zusammengeführten Teilprodukte auch tatsächlich zusammengehören (dies ist insbesondere bei personalisierten Druckprodukten der Fall, bei denen eine entsprechende Verwechslung ausgeschlossen werden soll, wie etwa bei Prüfungsbögen für Studenten oder aber bei kundenindividuellen Bankdatenbroschüren, welche heute insbesondere im Privatbankenbereich ausgegeben werden).In this context, as a rule, devices are also required which check whether the two merged partial products actually belong together (this is the case in particular in the case of personalized printed products in which a corresponding mix-up is to be ruled out, as for exam forms for students or at customer-specific bank data brochures, which are issued today especially in the private banking sector).
In einem abschliessenden Arbeitsgang wird dann das Druckprodukt bzw. das gebundene Buch auf bis zu drei Seiten beschnitten.In a final operation, the printed product or the bound book is then trimmed to up to three pages.
Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Verfahren bereitzustellen, mittels dem ein entsprechendes Druckprodukt insgesamt deutlich preisgünstiger sowie ohne grösseren Kontrollaufwand hergestellt werden kann.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a method by means of which a corresponding printed product can be produced overall significantly cheaper and without major control effort.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss gelöst durch ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Druckprodukten, insbesondere von Softcover-Büchern, mit integriertem Umschlag, wobei das Verfahren zumindest die folgenden Schritte umfasst: (a) Bedrucken einer Papierbahn oder von einzeln zugeführten Papierbögen, vorzugsweise mittels Digitaldruck; (b) optionales Aufbringen eines Klebstoffauftrags auf die Papierbahn oder die Papierbögen; (c) ein- oder mehrmaliges Falzen und Schneiden der Papierbahn zu Signaturen (das Schneiden kann, je nach Anwendung, vor oder nach dem Falzen ausgeführt werden) oder aber ein- oder mehrmaliges Falzen der Papierbögen zu Signaturen; (d) optionales Aufbringen eines Klebstoffauftrags auf die Signaturen; (e) Stapeln der Signaturen zu einem Signatur-Stapel mit zumindest einer obersten und einer untersten Signatur; (f) Aufklappen des obersten Blatts der obersten Signatur oder aber des untersten Blatts der untersten Signatur und Aufbringen einer Klebeschicht in zumindest dem Bereich des aufgeklappten Blatts, welcher zumindest den Rücken und/oder einen an den Rücken angrenzenden Bereich des Signaturstapels (d.h. im fertigen Druckprodukt) umfassen soll; (g) Umlegen des aufgeklappten und mit der Klebeschicht versehenen Blatts um den Rücken des Signatur-Stapels herum, so dass der Umschlag für das Druckprodukt ausgeformt wird; und (h) optionales Anpressen des Umschlags (das Anpressen des Umschlags umfasst in der Regel das Verpressen des gesamten Druckprodukts, um so auch die Verbundstabilität insgesamt zu erhöhen).This object is achieved according to the invention by a method for producing printed products, in particular softcover books, with an integrated envelope, the method comprising at least the following steps: (a) printing on a paper web or of individually supplied paper sheets, preferably by means of digital printing; (b) optionally applying an adhesive coating to the paper web or sheets of paper; (c) single or multiple folding and cutting of the paper web into signatures (the cutting can be carried out before or after the folding, depending on the application) or one or more folds of the paper sheets into signatures; (d) optionally applying an adhesive coating to the signatures; (e) stacking the signatures into a signature stack having at least an uppermost and a lowermost signature; (f) unfolding the top sheet of the top signature or the bottom sheet of the bottom signature and applying an adhesive layer in at least the portion of the unfolded sheet which includes at least the spine and / or a spine adjacent portion of the signature stack (ie, the final printed product ); (g) transferring the unfolded and adhesive coated sheet around the spine of the signature stack so as to form the envelope for the printed product; and (h) optionally pressing the envelope (pressing the envelope usually involves compressing the entire printed product so as to increase overall composite stability).
Das erfindungsgemässe Verfahren kann dabei ohne Unterbrechung der Prozesskette inline durchgeführt werden. Es besteht allerdings auch die Möglichkeit, dass insbesondere die obigen Schritte (f), (g) und (h) offline durchgeführt werden.The inventive method can be carried out inline without interrupting the process chain. However, there is also the possibility that, in particular, the above steps (f), (g) and (h) are performed off-line.
Die Kostenvorteile liegen auf der Hand - im Gegensatz zu einem herkömmlichen Softcover-Druckprodukt entfallen die Vorproduktion des Umschlags, der Bindevorgang sowie die regelmässig aufwändige Kontrolle, ob Umschlag und Inhalt übereinstimmen - was im negativen Fall überdies ein Anhalten der Anlage und/oder eine Nachproduktion erforderlich macht. Erfindungsgemäss werden dagegen Umschlag und Buchrücken gleichzeitig mit dem Inhalt beschriftet bzw. bedruckt, d.h. es wird sowohl auf der Front- und Rückseite als auch auf dem Rücken auf den Inhalt hingewiesen.The cost advantages are obvious - in contrast to a conventional softcover printed product accounts for the Pre-production of the envelope, the binding process and the regularly complex control, whether envelope and content match - which in the negative case, moreover, requires a stop of the plant and / or a subsequent production. According to the invention, on the other hand, the envelope and spine are simultaneously labeled or printed with the contents, ie the content is indicated both on the front and back as well as on the back.
Zudem ergeben sich durch die Aufhebung der räumlichen und zeitlichen Trennung bei der Herstellung von Umschlag und Signaturstapel (bzw. Buchblock) vereinfachte Logistikprozesse.In addition, the removal of the spatial and temporal separation in the production of the envelope and signature stack (or book block) results in simplified logistics processes.
Ein weiterer positiver Aspekt des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens besteht darin, dass Papier eingespart werden kann, da gegenüber dem herkömmlichen Bindevorgang das Fräsen und Aufrauen des Papiers entfällt. Zudem muss gemäss dem erfindungsgemässen Verfahren lediglich eine Papiersorte verwendet werden.Another positive aspect of the inventive method is that paper can be saved, as compared to the conventional binding process eliminates the milling and roughening of the paper. In addition, only one type of paper must be used according to the inventive method.
Des Weiteren kann je nach Anforderung und Anwendung auch auf das Beschneiden des Druckprodukts auf bis zu drei Seiten verzichtet werden.Furthermore, depending on the requirements and application, pruning of the printed product can be dispensed with on up to three pages.
Die Erfindung kommt also grundsätzlich zum Einsatz für die Herstellung von eher preisgünstigen Druckprodukten, welche in der Regel keine besonders lange Lebensdauer aufweisen müssen (z.B. auch Studienhefte und anderweitige «Wegwerfprodukte», etc.).Thus, the invention is basically used for the production of rather inexpensive printed products, which generally do not have to have a particularly long service life (for example, study books and other "disposable products", etc.).
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung erfolgt vor oder während dem Stapeln der Signaturen der Klebstoffauftrag auf die Ober- und/oder Unterseite der einzelnen Signaturen. Durch diese Massnahme kann insbesondere die Stabilität des Stapels in sich verbessert werden, was für die weitere Verarbeitung von Vorteil ist bzw. diese erleichtert.In a preferred embodiment of the present invention takes place before or during the stacking of the signatures of the adhesive application to the top and / or Bottom of the individual signatures. By this measure, in particular, the stability of the stack can be improved in itself, which is for further processing of advantage or easier.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung erfolgt nach dem Stapeln der Signaturen ein Klebstoffauftrag im Rückenbereich des Signaturen-Stapels. Hierbei kann etwa mittels von geeigneten Rollenvorrichtungen der Klebstoff in Streifen quer oder aber vollflächig über den Rücken des bereits fertigen Signaturstapels (welcher entsprechend ausgerichtet gehalten bleibt) aufgetragen werden. Diese Lösung ist weniger zeitaufwändig als die Verklebung jeder einzelnen Signatur und liefert auch eine gute Stabilität des Stapels. Zudem verleiht sie dem Stapelrücken eine gewisse Flexibilität.In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, after the stacking of the signatures, an adhesive application takes place in the back region of the signature stack. In this case, for example by means of suitable roller devices, the adhesive can be applied in strips transversely or else over the full area over the back of the already completed signature stack (which remains correspondingly aligned). This solution is less time consuming than the bonding of each signature and also provides good stability of the stack. In addition, it gives the pile back a certain flexibility.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung wird die Klebeschicht in Form eines (herkömmlichen) Klebstoffauftrags oder aber in Form eines doppelseitigen Klebebands ausgestaltet. Bei der Verwendung eines doppelseitigen Klebebands (bzw. Tapes) anstelle von Klebstoff kann eine besonders hohe Stabilität des Rückens gewährleistet werden. Bei dem Klebeband kann es sich etwa auch um einen vorgefertigten Klebestreifen handeln, welcher nach dem Umlegen des obersten oder des untersten Signaturblattes um den Stapel mittels Wärme aktiviert wird. Derartige vorgefertigte Klebestreifen können grundsätzlich für alle Klebstoffaufträge im Zusammenhang mit dem erfindungsgemässen Verfahren verwendet werden.In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the adhesive layer is designed in the form of a (conventional) adhesive application or in the form of a double-sided adhesive tape. When using a double-sided adhesive tape (or tapes) instead of adhesive, a particularly high stability of the back can be ensured. The adhesive tape may also be, for example, a prefabricated adhesive strip, which is activated by the heat after the topmost or the lowermost signature sheet has been transferred around the stack. Such prefabricated adhesive strips can in principle be used for all adhesive applications in connection with the method according to the invention.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung werden die Klebstoffaufträge aus Kaltklebern, Heissklebern bzw. Hotmelts (z.B. Polyurethan-Kleber) oder aus einer Kombination von Kalt- und Heissklebern gebildet. Bei den Heissklebern bzw. Hotmelts erfolgt das Verkleben sofort beim Umlegen des Umschlagblatts oder durch Wärmeaktivierung nach dem Umlegen.In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the adhesive jobs are from Cold adhesives, hot adhesives or hotmelts (eg polyurethane adhesive) or formed from a combination of cold and hot adhesives. In the case of hot adhesives or hotmelts, bonding takes place immediately when the cover sheet is folded over or after heat transfer has taken place.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung werden in die als oberste oder als unterste Signatur vorgesehenen Papierbahnabschnitte oder Papierbögen (bzw. Signaturbögen) eine oder mehrere Rillen eingebracht. Eine solche Rillierung dient dazu, das Umlegen des jeweiligen Umschlagblattes durch eine entsprechende Schwächung des Papiers zu erleichtern. Die Rillen werden dabei vorzugsweise so angeordnet, dass sie der Dicke des Druckprodukts bzw. Softcover-Buchs entsprechen. Mit anderen Worten bildet die (Papier-) Fläche zwischen den vorzugsweise zwei parallelen Rillen den Rücken des Druckprodukts bzw. des Softcover-Buchs.In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, one or more grooves are introduced into the paper web sections or paper sheets (or signature sheets) provided as the uppermost or the lowest signature. Such a grooving serves to facilitate the transfer of the respective cover sheet by a corresponding weakening of the paper. The grooves are preferably arranged so that they correspond to the thickness of the printed product or softcover book. In other words, the (paper) surface between the preferably two parallel grooves forms the back of the printed product or softcover book.
Das ausgeklappte Umschlagblatt wird beim Umlegen also vorzugsweise zweimal - d.h. jeweils entlang der Rillen (welche entsprechende Umlegelinien definieren) - um etwa 90° geknickt. Das Rillieren erfolgt in der Regel bevor der entsprechende Bogen (d.h. entweder der aus der Papierbahn abgeschnittene oder der einzeln zugeführte Bogen) gefalzt wird und kann, wie auch der Klebstoffauftrag, hinsichtlich der gewünschten Dicke des Druckprodukts dynamisch und automatisch eingestellt werden. Anstatt einer Rillierung kann zur Schwächung des Papiers grundsätzlich auch eine Perforierung oder aber eine Spur aus Wassertröpfchen vorgesehen werden.The unfolded cover sheet is thus folded twice, ie each along the grooves (which define corresponding inflexible lines) when folded over about 90 °. The creasing is usually done before the corresponding sheet (ie, either the sheet cut from the paper sheet or the sheet fed separately) is folded and, like the adhesive coating, can be dynamically and automatically adjusted for the desired thickness of the printed product. Instead of a grooving, a perforation or a trace of water droplets can basically be provided to weaken the paper.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung werden die als oberste oder als unterste Signatur vorgesehenen Papierbahnabschnitte oder Papierbögen (bzw. Signaturbögen) mit einer stabilitätserhöhenden Beschichtung bedruckt (d.h. vorzugsweise in Schritt (a) des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens). Auf diese Weise kann die Lebensdauer des Umschlags auf effiziente und kostengünstige Weise verlängert werden. Als besonders geeignetes Material hierfür hat sich Klarlack erwiesen, mit welchem - neben der Stabilitätserhöhung - vermittels der schöneren Optik auch noch die Wertigkeit des fertigen Druckprodukts erhöht werden kann.In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the paper web sections or sheets of paper (or signature sheets) provided as the uppermost or the lowest signature are printed with a stability-increasing coating (i.e., preferably in step (a) of the process according to the invention). In this way, the life of the envelope can be extended in an efficient and cost effective manner. As a particularly suitable material for this clear coat has been found, with which - in addition to the increase in stability - by means of the beautiful appearance and the value of the finished printed product can be increased.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung wird entweder das oberste Blatt der obersten Signatur oder aber das unterste Blatt der untersten Signatur mit einer Länge ausgebildet, welche im Wesentlichen um die Dicke des Rückens des Druckprodukts länger ist als die Länge der übrigen Signaturblätter. Hiermit kann, insbesondere bei dickeren Druckprodukten, dem Umstand begegnet werden, dass nach dem Umlegen der Inhalt (d.h. die Signaturen bzw. Signaturblätter des Signaturstapels welche nicht den Umschlag bilden) über den Umschlag bzw. das Umschlagblatt hervorsteht; und zwar um die die Dicke des Druckprodukts, welche dem Umschlagblatt nach dem Umlegen «fehlt».In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, either the uppermost sheet of the uppermost signature or the lowermost sheet of the lowermost signature is formed with a length which is substantially longer than the length of the remaining signature sheets by the thickness of the spine of the printed product. Hereby, especially with thicker printed products, it is possible to cope with the fact that after transferring the contents (i.e., the signatures of the signature stack which do not form the envelope) protrude beyond the envelope; namely by the thickness of the printed product, which "missing" the cover sheet after flipping.
Mit anderen Worten muss entsprechend das Schneiden der Papierbahn oder aber das Zuführen der Papierbögen derart ausgeführt werden, dass der Papierbahnabschnitt bzw. der Papierbogen, welcher die oberste oder aber die unterste Signatur bilden soll, um die Dicke des zu produzierenden Produkts länger ist als die anderen Papierbahnabschnitte bzw. Papierbogen, welche den Inhalt des Druckprodukts bilden. Konkret weist dann das unterste bzw. das oberste Blatt in der untersten bzw. obersten Signatur (d.h. das Umschlagblatt) einen Überstand X auf, welcher die entstandene Lücke L kompensiert.In other words, according to the cutting of the paper web or the feeding of the paper sheets must be carried out such that the paper web section or the sheet of paper, which is to form the uppermost or the lowest signature to the thickness of the product to be produced longer than the others web sections or paper sheets which form the content of the printed product. Specifically, then the lowermost or the uppermost sheet in the lowest or highest signature (ie, the cover sheet) on a projection X, which compensates for the resulting gap L.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung wird das aufgeklappte und mit der Klebeschicht versehene (Umschlag-) Blatt an seinem freien Ende entlang der Klebeschicht abgeschnitten. Eine bevorzugte marktübliche Anwendung entsteht, wenn das Umschlagblatt vor dem Umlegen parallel zum Rücken (d.h. entlang der Klebeschicht an seinem freien Ende) abgeschnitten wird. Man erhält auf diese Weise eine Bindungsmöglichkeit analog zu einer Bindung mittels Fälzelstreifen. Das vollständige Druckprodukt kann dann als (günstiges) Vorprodukt beispielsweise in einen Hardcover-Umschlag (als teureres Endprodukt) eingebracht werden.In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the unfolded and adhesive-coated (cover) sheet is cut at its free end along the adhesive layer. A preferred market practice is to cut off the cover sheet parallel to the spine (i.e., along the adhesive layer at its free end) prior to transfer. Obtained in this way a possibility of bonding analogous to a binding means Fälzelstreifen. The complete printed product can then be introduced as a (cheap) precursor, for example in a hardcover envelope (as a more expensive end product).

In einem Drucker 1, welcher ggf. als Digitaldrucker ausgestaltet ist, wird zunächst eine entsprechende Papierbahn bedruckt. Die Papierbahn wird im Anschluss in einem Falz-Querschneidemodul 2 gefalzt und zu einzelnen Signaturen 7 vereinzelt.

Der grundlegende Verfahrungsablauf ist wie folgt: Zunächst wird in einem Drucker 1, vorzugsweise einem Digitaldrucker, die Papierbahn bedruckt. Im Anschluss daran wird die Papierbahn in einem Falzmodul 2a gefalzt.

Fig. 6a wird zunächstein Stapel 13 von einmal gefalzten und miteinander verklebten Signaturen 7 gezeigt.Die Signaturen 7 wurden beispielsweise aus einer Papierbahn 10 gemässFig. 2 hergestellt. Beim Aufeinanderstapeln der einzelnen Signaturen 7 wurde jeweils auf die Ober- bzw. Unterseite der nächst folgenden Signatur 7ein Klebstoffauftrag 14 aufgebracht, um einen stabilen Zusammenhalt des Stapels 13 zu gewährleisten.Der Klebstoffauftrag 14 erfolgt dabei regelmässig in unmittelbarer Nähe des Stapelrückens beziehungsweise der Falzlinien 11 (aber nicht im Stapelrücken selbst).

Fig. 6a First, astack 13 of once folded and glued togethersignatures 7 is shown. Thesignatures 7 were, for example, from apaper web 10 according toFig. 2 produced. When stacking theindividual signatures 7 anadhesive application 14 was applied in each case on the top or bottom of the next followingsignature 7, to ensure a stable cohesion of thestack 13.

Im Falle von günstig herzustellenden Wegwerfprodukten ist dies hinnehmbar, da die günstige Herstellung die allenfalls (d.h. nur bei relativ dicken Druckprodukten) auftretende optische Beeinträchtigung mehr als aufwiegt.Since in these embodiments in each case the
