Definitions

  • the invention relates to improved methods and devices for print finishing.
  • Print finishing refers to a change in the surface of a substrate such as paper, cardboard, etc. through an additional coating. This gives the paper either a certain gloss, a structure or predefined effects that it does not have in its original, unprocessed form. Print finishing results in a change in the paper surface that makes the printed product as a whole more durable, on the one hand, by protecting it against wear, and on the other, by enhancing its appearance or touching it, or contributes to the sale of the products or services shown therein.
  • Finishing processes can be based on coating, joining, reshaping or separating the printing material.
  • the processes in which the finishing is carried out by joining include lamination, lamination and film transfer.
  • Foil transfer comprises finishing processes in which transfer layers are detached from a carrier foil and transferred to the printing material. This group of processes includes hot foil stamping, the
  • Hot foil stamping Under the effect of pressure, temperature and contact time, transfer layers of a stamping foil are transferred to the material with the help of an embossing stamp, which at the same time undergoes a permanent change in shape.
  • Hot foil stamping takes place as plan stamping with a tool or relief stamping with a die and male mold. Either flat dies or embossing rollers, which are heated for the film transfer, are used as embossing tools.
  • the temperature depends on the stamping foil used, the printing material and the type of machine and is between 80 ... 220 ° C.
  • the stamping foil consists of several layers.
  • One or more transfer layers are either applied directly to a carrier film made of polyester, or the transfer layers are applied to a separating layer located on the carrier film, which melts under the action of heat and thus releases the transfer layers.
  • the transfer layers comprise an optically effective layer and an adhesive layer (reactivatable adhesive).
  • the adhesive layer provides a permanent and smudge-proof connection between the optically effective layer and the printing material. Color pigments, metal pigments and plastics can be used for the optically effective layer, which leads to very different visual effects.
  • cold foil finishing is implemented, for example, with two additional printing units in an offset printing machine.
  • a special adhesive is applied to the substrate using a standard printing forme. Since the characteristics of offset printing come into play, small raster elements and fine line widths can be transferred.
  • a second printing unit is equipped with a film transfer device. The film is fed from the unwinding station into the printing gap between the blanket cylinder and the printing cylinder and brought into contact with the printing material.
  • the film consists of several layers that are located on a carrier film.
  • the color is provided by an aluminum layer and a protective lacquer layer, the coloring of which influences the color impression.
  • the transfer layers on the substrate remain chicht by adhesion of an adhesive layer with the printed adhesive S adhere.
  • the carrier film is then wound up again.
  • the visual effect of cold foils is similar to that of stamping foils. However, there is no haptic effect because there is no deformation or noticeable surface change.
  • Cold foils are used in the production of various print products, for example in label printing, on high-quality packaging or in commercial printing.
  • two additional printing units and the film transfer station are required for the cold foil transfer.
  • One object of the present invention is to further develop and improve the known methods and devices for print finishing, in particular for cold foil transfer.
  • a process for print finishing in which a printing material and a transfer film with a transfer layer are provided, the printing material is moved along a transport path at a transport speed, and a radiation-curing plastic is applied to the printing material during the movement of the printing material in a first section of the transport path is applied, after the application of the radiation-curing plastic in a second section of the transport path, the printing material is irradiated, while at the same time the transfer film is pressed onto the printing material and moved with it along the transport path, and when leaving the second section of the transport path, the transfer film is removed from the printing material becomes.
  • a Radiation-curing plastic used as an adhesive which is initially in the form of a resin, ie in liquid or pasty form and has no or virtually no adhesive strength. Only when this resin is irradiated with radiation of a specific wavelength does it become sticky and then harden. In this way, the transfer layer is peeled off from the transfer film in the areas in which the surface of the printing material has the resin of the radiation-curing plastic, while the transfer layer remains on the transfer film in the other areas.
  • nozzles of a printing device that is used to apply the resin to the printing material can no longer clog because the resin applied to the printing material is not irradiated until after printing.
  • the printing material is moved horizontally and the transfer film is guided in the second area of the transport path around a partial circumference of a pressure roller that is pressed onto the printing material.
  • This has advantages in particular for the print finishing of printing materials in the form of individual sheets - in contrast to the roll-to-roll process.
  • the printing substrate and the transfer film only touch each other in a very short area according to the invention, so that a relative displacement due to transport routes of different lengths cannot have a negative effect on the result of the finishing.
  • the pressure roller rotates with a Peripheral speed is moved, which is equal to the transport speed of the printing material.
  • the pressure roller is provided as a radiation-permeable hollow body and a radiation source is provided in the pressure roller.
  • a radiation source is provided in the pressure roller.
  • the irradiation can either take place beforehand, so that the hardening process of the resin begins while the pressure roller is acting, or afterwards. If, however, the pressure roller is a radiation-permeable hollow body in which the radiation source is arranged, then the pressing of the film onto the printing material and the curing of the resin of the radiation-curing plastic coincide, and the action of the radiation occurs while the pressure roller is being pressed through the light-permeable hollow body.
  • the pressure roller is pressed onto the transport path when a printing material is moved underneath it and is raised when no printing material is moved underneath it. In this way, a paper jam, which can arise as a result of the collision of the printing material with the pressure roller that is pressed onto the transport path, can be avoided.
  • a device for print finishing which comprises: a transport device for moving a printing material along a transport path, a printing device for Application of a radiation-curing plastic to the printing material in a first section of the transport path, a film feed device for feeding transfer film to a surface of the printing material in a second section of the transport path, and a
  • Irradiation device for curing the radiation-curing plastic in the second section of the transport path, which comprises at least one radiation source.
  • the transport device can have, for example, a belt conveyor on which the printing material is transported in a lying position.
  • the transport device can have, for example, a belt conveyor on which the printing material is transported in a lying position.
  • the suction belt conveyor can for example have a perforated conveyor belt guided around deflection rollers, a so-called suction box being arranged between the deflection rollers, in the interior of which a vacuum is generated by means of a pump.
  • the film feed device can, for example, have at least one decoiler and one reel-up, as well as a pressure roller arranged between them, around which the transfer film is guided and which is pressed onto the printing material.
  • the pressure roller can be moved back and forth between a lower position in which it presses on the transport path and an upper position in which it is lifted off the transport path. This makes it possible for the pressure roller to be pressed onto the transport path when a printing material is moved underneath it and to be raised when no printing material is moved underneath it.
