Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for printing on paper using a digital printing system which has a plurality of inking units for applying printing ink of different colors to the paper, wherein in the method the paper to be printed is guided past the inking units in a feed direction.
  • the invention also relates to a digital printing system that is suitable and set up for printing on paper using such a method.
  • Printing on papers has been known from the state of the art for many years.
  • Printed papers are used for different purposes.
  • decorative papers i.e. papers that have been printed with a decor
  • they can be used, for example, for the production of laminate panels, for example for the production of floor panels or wall and ceiling coverings, but also as furniture panels.
  • the desired decor for example a real wood decor
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of proposing a method with which safe and continuous production is better enabled.
  • the invention solves the problem set by a method for printing on a paper using a digital printing system which has several ink applicators for applying printing ink of different colors to the paper, with the method the paper to be printed being guided past the ink applicators in a feed direction, whereby the method is characterized in that the digital printing system has a device which is set up and suitable to prevent or reduce condensation formation on the ink application units, and with this device the condensation formation on the ink application units is prevented or reduced.
  • the paper to be printed is therefore guided past the various ink application units within the digital printing system.
  • the printing ink to be applied by the respective ink application unit is applied to the paper. After the paper has been passed past all the existing ink application units, the paper is printed with the desired decor.
  • the invention makes it possible to reduce the formation of condensate or to prevent it completely and thus solve the problem.
  • a device is present for this purpose, which is preferably part of the digital printing system and is set up and suitable to prevent or reduce the formation of condensation.
  • the method according to the invention it also takes on this task. This means in particular that less condensate is created in a digital printing system with this device than in a digital printing system that does not have this device. This is particularly true when otherwise identical parameters are used.
  • the device preferably has a temperature control device and an electrical control.
  • the temperature control device is set up to influence a temperature of the paint application units. This can happen in different directions.
  • the temperature control device preferably comprises a heater which is set up to increase the temperature of the paint application units. Particularly The heater is preferably set up to increase the temperature of the paint application units independently of one another.
  • the temperature control device preferably has a cooling system which is set up to reduce the temperature of the paint application units. The cooling is particularly preferably set up to reduce the temperature of the paint application units independently of one another.
  • the electrical control is set up to control the temperature control device.
  • the digital printing system has at least one temperature sensor.
  • the digital printing system particularly preferably has at least one temperature sensor per ink application unit.
  • the temperature sensor is set up to transmit measurement data to the electrical control, which contains information about the temperature of the respective paint application unit. It is therefore possible to measure the temperature.
  • the electrical control is preferably set up to access an electronic data memory in which a target temperature value for the respective paint application unit is stored.
  • the electrical control is or preferably contains an electronic data processing device. The electrical control compares the temperature of a paint application unit measured by the sensor with the target temperature stored in the electronic data memory and is set up to control the temperature control device based on the result of this comparison.
  • the electrical control sends control signals to the temperature control device, which then changes the temperature of the paint application unit. If the measured temperature is greater than the stored target temperature, the cooling of the temperature control device is controlled by the control signals and reduces the temperature. If the measured temperature is lower than the stored target temperature, the heating of the temperature control device is controlled by the control signals.
  • the electrical control is set up to control the temperature control device in such a way that the paint application units have different temperatures.
  • the temperatures of the paint application units are particularly preferred in the feed direction. This embodiment is based on the knowledge that the amount of liquid printing ink applied to the paper increases in the feed direction. This also increases the risk of condensation forming from the amount of liquid applied. The higher the temperature of the paint applicator, the lower the probability that liquid in the area surrounding the paint applicator will condense on the paint applicator. It is therefore generally advantageous if the temperatures of the paint application units increase in the feed direction.
  • the temperatures of two adjacent paint application units differ by at least 0.5 ° C, preferably by at least 0.7 ° C, particularly preferably by at least 1.0 ° C.
  • the temperatures of two adjacent paint application units differ by a maximum of 1.5 °C, preferably by a maximum of 1.3 °C, particularly preferably by a maximum of 1.0 °C.
  • the digital printing system has, for example, four ink application units whose temperatures increase in the feed direction.
  • the temperature of the first inking unit is 29 °C
  • that of the second inking unit is 30 °C
  • that of the third printing unit is 31 °C
  • that of the fourth printing unit is 32 °C.
  • the temperature between the paper to be printed and the print head is as low as possible in order to reduce the risk of condensation forming. Since the paper is also heated as it passes through the digital printing system, it is an advantage if the temperature of the ink applicator also increases in the feed direction. On the other hand, the amount of printing ink that is applied by the respective ink applicator increases with the temperature of the ink applicator. It is therefore advantageous to limit the overall difference in temperature between the first and last paint application units.
  • the temperatures of the first paint application unit in the feed direction and the last paint application unit in the feed direction differ by a maximum of 10 ° C, preferably by a maximum of 7 ° C, particularly preferably by a maximum of 5 ° C.
  • the device has at least one air flow deflector which is arranged between two paint application units and is set up and suitable for deflecting an air flow from one paint application unit to an adjacent paint application unit.
  • An air flow that would flow from one paint applicator to the adjacent paint applicator without the air flow deflector is consequently deflected by the air flow deflector.
  • An air flow deflector can, for example, be designed in the form of a wall or plate that is placed or positioned in the path of the actual air flow.
  • the device particularly preferably has at least one air flow deflector between two adjacent paint application units. This means that whenever two paint application units are arranged adjacent to one another, there is at least one air flow deflector between these two paint application units.
  • the device preferably has at least one air extraction device which is arranged between two adjacent paint application units and is suitable and set up to extract air between the two paint application units.
  • the device particularly preferably has at least one air suction device between two adjacent paint application units. This means that whenever two paint application units are arranged adjacent to one another, there is at least one air suction device between these two paint application units.
  • the air extraction device creates a spray mist of ink that is created when the printing ink emerges from the ink application unit.
  • the air suction device is preferably part of a cooling system for the temperature control device.
  • the device advantageously has a housing that surrounds the paint application units. In this way, moisture, spray mist and other factors that accelerate or support the formation of condensation can be kept away from the print heads of the ink application units.
  • the digital printing system has a monitoring unit which is set up to detect the formation of condensation on at least one ink application unit.
  • the invention also solves the problem set by a digital printing system of the type described here, which is set up and suitable for printing on the paper in a method described here.
  • Figure 1 shows a digital printing system with a printing unit 2, which is surrounded by a housing 4. It has four color application units 6, each of which can be used to apply printing ink of one color. Additional color application units 6 are optional.
  • the ink application units 6 apply the printing ink to a printing cylinder 8.
  • the paper 10 to be printed is introduced into the housing 4 from the right through an opening (not shown) and guided over a first tension roller 12, the printing cylinder 8 and a second tension roller 14.
  • the printing cylinder 8 is therefore not used to transfer printing ink to the paper 10, but rather to transfer the paper 10 to the Paint application works 6 to pass.
  • the feed direction is specified by the arrow 16, which represents the direction of rotation of the printing cylinder 8.
  • a device 18 is arranged between two adjacent inking units, which is designed to reduce or completely prevent the formation of condensation on the inking units 6.
  • the device 18 is an air extraction system, shown only schematically, and an air flow deflector.
  • the housing 4 also ensures less condensation formation on the paint application units 6 and is therefore also part of the device 18.
