Thereafter, the adhesive is cured and the transferable layer transferred from the film to the substrate according to the pattern.

  • the UV exposure of the adhesive takes place in practice after a combination of transfer film and substrate or of transfer layer and substrate. It is necessary that either the transfer film, the transfer layer or the substrate to be coated for the UV radiation used to crosslink the adhesive is at least partially permeable.

It has surprisingly been found that a particularly firm connection between the transfer layer and the substrate and. By a combination of an arranged on the transfer layer primer layer of thermoplastic adhesive, disposed on the substrate cold adhesive, in particular a crosslinking under UV irradiation adhesive / or the primer layer can be formed. This is surprising inasmuch as thermoplastic adhesives, also called hot-melt adhesives, and cold adhesives, in particular UV-crosslinking adhesives, are substances whose adhesive properties are based on completely different chemical-physical principles.
  • the first transfer film according to the invention for use in a cold foil transfer process thus resembles in its structure a hot stamping foil.

Only then can the transfer layer or regions of the transfer layer detach from the carrier film during transfer and stick to the substrate. Before the transfer, however, the removal force of the release layer from the carrier film must be so high that a secure handling of the transfer film is ensured, without the transfer layer of the carrier film solves, for example, when unwinding the transfer film from a supply roll and / or during transport of the transfer film, optionally via deflection, in a cold foil transfer unit. In order to be able to unwind and unwind the transfer film, it has proven particularly useful to provide a suitable non-stick layer on the side of the carrier film facing away from the transfer layer.

A 13 to 16 cm long strip of Tesafilm 4104 was adhered to it, so that about 5 to 7 cm of the Tesafilms on the Edge of the substrate survived. Subsequently, the Tesafilm was pressed with the thumb three to four times and finally subtracted at an angle of> 90 ° from the test pattern. The test was passed when 90% of the ink remained on the test sample or the test sample itself was torn.

  • a bearer ring is part of the printing unit design of modern printing presses. Bearer rings on printing presses are arranged on the sides of the impression cylinders or rollers.
  • the bearer rings are made of hardened steel with high rolling resistance and roll with high preload on each other.
  • the task of the bearer rings is above all to prevent the torsional vibrations in the oscillatory, mechanically strained system of cylinders and gears.
  • the bearer rings increase the bending stiffness of the cylinder pairing. This shifts the resonant frequency to non-critical areas and reduces flexing vibrations that excite the impact of rolling over channels in the rollers or cylinders.
  • the grading of the bearer ring diameter - slightly smaller on the plate cylinder than on the blanket cylinder - enables the introduction of mechanical stresses in the direction of movement between the bearer rings and the gears. As a result, a clear flank position of the gears can be ensured even with strong torque laps in the channel rollover.
  • the bearer ring has the same diameter as the pitch circle of the driving gear.

  • the bearer rings also serve as a reference height in order to be able to measure the elevator heights on the cylinders.
  • the bearer rings primarily ensure smooth cylinder running due to the pretensioning applied during assembly and the avoidance of quality-reducing and noise-producing effects of load fluctuations as a result of channel overrun. Bearing force fluctuations can produce quality-reducing stripes in homogeneous, larger screen areas by minimally varying dot gain.
  • transfer film 40 is withdrawn from a supply roll not shown separately and on the side of the transfer layer 41 (see Fig. 1 ) are brought into contact with the substrate 52 printed with UV-crosslinking adhesive.

If the substrate 51 is designed to be transparent or semi-transparent for the UV radiation required for curing the UV-crosslinking adhesive 11, the composite 53 can alternatively or additionally also be irradiated from the side of the substrate 51.
