Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、原稿と感熱孔版原紙を接着剤で接着して製版する感熱製版方法と、この方法に有用な接着剤付きの感熱孔版原紙、並びにこの方法に有用な接着剤付きの原稿に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般的な感熱孔版原紙は、多孔性の支持体と感熱フィルムを貼り合わせた構造である。これを製版する場合には、感熱孔版原紙の製版面である感熱フィルムと原稿のカーボン画像とを密着させる。感熱孔版原紙の支持体の側から原稿に向けて光を照射する。光が照射された原稿の画像に含まれたカーボンが発熱する。原稿に密着している感熱フィルムは、この熱によって画像の形状に溶融・穿孔される。
【0003】
感熱孔版原紙の製版においては、感熱孔版原紙の感熱フィルムと原稿とを確実に密着させておく必要がある。これは、上述したように、光を照射してカーボン画像を発熱させ、この熱で感熱フィルムを溶融して穿孔する製版の原理に起因するものである。
【0004】
このため従来は、感熱フィルムと原稿を機械的な圧力で密着させて製版を行う装置が用いられていた。例えば、本出願人は次のような製版印刷装置を提案している。この装置は、基台と、この基台の上面に対してヒンジを介して開閉可能となるように取り付けられた押圧板とを有する。押圧板の中央は透明板で構成されており、その下面(基台側)に感熱孔版原紙が取り付けられ、その上面側には光照射装置が着脱可能に取り付けられる。基台の上に画像を上にして原稿を載せ、押圧板の透明板の下面に感熱フィルムが原稿の画像面と対向する様に感熱孔版原紙を設け、押圧板の透明板の上側には光照射装置を設ける。押圧板を基台側に押し下げて感熱孔版原紙の製版面を原稿に密着させ、その瞬間に光照射装置を作動させる。光照射装置は、透明板を介して感熱孔版原紙に向けて閃光を照射し、原稿の画像の発熱によって感熱孔版原紙は製版される。なお、このような本出願人の提案する製版印刷装置は、例えば特開昭64−11875号にて公開されている。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
前記製版印刷装置を用いた製版においては、密着している原稿と感熱孔版原紙に含まれている水分が、閃光によって画像が発熱した瞬間に一気に蒸発・膨張する爆発現象が生じる。この爆発力は密着している原稿と感熱孔版原紙を剥がす方向に働くので、これに耐えられるだけの加圧力で前記押圧板を基台に向けて押圧し、原稿と感熱孔版原紙が剥がれないようにしなければならない。前記製版印刷装置は、このように強い押圧力で操作されるため、これに耐えられるだけの強い構造・材質で製作する必要がある。
【0006】
上述したような構造が頑丈で機械的加圧機能を有する製版印刷装置は、装置全体の寸法が大きくなり、また製造コストも高いという問題があった。さらに、このような製版印刷装置を用いる製版作業は、強い押圧力が必要なので作業者の疲労が避けられないという問題があった。
【0007】
本発明は、感熱孔版原紙と原稿に機械的圧力を加えずに感熱孔版原紙の製版が行える感熱製版方法と同方法に有用な感熱孔版原紙並びに感熱孔版原紙製版用原稿を提供することを目的としている。
【0008】

【0017】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施の形態の一例を図1〜図3を参照して説明する。
図1は感熱孔版原紙1の断面図である。インクを通過させる多孔性支持体2には、感熱フィルム3が接着されている。
【0018】
本発明に用いられる感熱フィルム3としては、例えばポリエステルフィルム、ポリカーボネートフィルム、ポリプロピレンフィルム、ポリ塩化ビニルフィルム、ポリ塩化ビニル−塩化ビニリデン共重合体フィルム等が挙げられ、その厚さは通常10μm以下、好ましくは0.5〜6.0μmの範囲とされる。
【0019】
本発明に用いられる多孔性支持体2としては、マニラ麻、パルプ、ミツマタ、コウゾなどの天然繊維を素材とした和紙などの紙、ポリエステル、ナイロン、ビニロン、アセテートなどの合成繊維、金属繊維、ガラス繊維等を素材とした織物または不織布などが挙げられる。これらの繊維は単独でまたは2種以上併用して使用できる。多孔性支持体2の秤量は、原紙の強度およびインク通過性の点から、通常1〜20g/m2 の範囲、好ましくは5〜15/m2 の範囲とされる。また多孔性支持体2の厚さも上記と同様の理由で通常5〜100μmの範囲、好ましくは10〜50μmの範囲とされる。
【0020】
前記多孔性支持体2と前記感熱フィルム3を接着している接着剤としては、例えばエポキシ樹脂、フェノール樹脂、ポリ酢酸ビニル、エチレン−酢酸ビニル共重合体、塩化ビニル−酢酸ビニル共重合体、アクリル樹脂、ポリエステル、ポリウレタン、スチレン−ブタジエン共重合体、ポリイソブチレン、ポリイソプレン、ブチルゴム、ポリアクリルアミド、ロジン、テルペン樹脂、ポリスチレン等が挙げられる。
【0021】
前記感熱フィルム3の表面には、接着層4が設けられている。図1に示すように、使用前の状態においては、感熱フィルム3の接着層4には剥離保護シート5が接着されている。この接着層4は後述するように製版時に原稿を接着して一時的に固定するためのものである。従って、手で剥がせる程度の弱粘着性でありながら、同時に製版時の爆発現象のような瞬間的な力に耐えることができ、かつ光透過性と熱伝導性の良好な素材であることが好ましい。
【0022】
前記接着層4を構成する接着剤には、例えば感圧接着剤を使用できる。ここで、感圧接着剤とは、溶剤や熱などの助けを必要とせず、指圧等ごく低い圧力で他表面に接着し、またこれをはぎ取る時には被着面に痕跡を残さず、容易にはぎ取ることができるような接着剤である。
【0023】
感圧接着剤の成分は、弾性体、粘着付与樹脂、可塑剤、充填剤、老化防止剤などである。弾性体としては、天然ゴム、合成イソプレンゴム、再生ゴム、SBR、ポリイソブチレン、NBR、ポリビニルエーテル、ポリアクリルエステル又はその共重合体、スチレンイソプレン又はスチレンブタジエンブロック重合体等がある。粘着付与樹脂としては、ポリチルベン、ロジンならびにその誘導体、油溶性フェノール樹脂、タマロンインデン樹脂、石油系炭化水素樹脂等がある。可塑剤としては、鉱油、ラノリン、液状ポリブチン、液状ポリアクリレート等がある。充填剤としては、亜鉛華、チタン白、炭カル、クレー、水酸化アルミ、顔料等がある。老化防止剤としては、ゴム用酸化防止剤、金属ジチオカーバメート、金属キレート剤等がある。
【0024】
上述した感圧接着剤の他、無溶剤型感圧接着剤も使用できる。無溶剤型感圧接着剤としては、エマルジョン型、水溶性型、ホットメルト型、オリゴマー型等の接着剤が使用できる。また、熱硬化型感圧接着剤、吸湿硬化型感圧接着剤、嫌気性硬化型感圧接着剤等の硬化型感圧接着剤も使用できる。
【0025】
前記接着層4は感熱フィルム3の表面にスプレー等の手段によってランダムパターンで形成されている。接着層4として熱伝導性の良好な材料を用いた場合には、製版時には画像部に対応して前記感熱フィルム3が穿孔されるが、熱伝導性の小さなものを用いた場合には、接着層4の部分に対応する前記感熱フィルム3は穿孔されず、感熱フィルム3の溶融した部分は支持体2と接着層4とに絡みつくことになる。
【0026】
図2は製版時の状態を示した断面図である。原稿7は、用紙8の上に光熱変換物質を含む画像9を形成したものである。光熱変換物質としては、光のエネルギーを熱のエネルギーに変換することができる材料であればよく、光熱変換効率の良い材料、例えばカーボンブラック、ランプブラック、炭化珪素、窒化炭素、金属粉、金属酸化物、無機顔料、有機顔料、有機染料等が好ましい。これらの中でも、フタロシアニン系色素、シアニン系色素、スクアリリウム系色素、ポリメチン系色素のように特定波長で大きな光吸収性を示すものが特に好ましい。
【0027】
図1に示すように、感熱孔版原紙1から剥離保護シート5を剥がし、次に図2に示すように該感熱孔版原紙1の接着層4を、原稿7の画像9側に重ねて接着する。外部から機械的な圧力を加えることなく、矢印で示すように単に感熱孔版原紙1の多孔性支持体2の側から光照射手段によって閃光を照射するだけで、感熱孔版原紙1の感熱製版が行われる。つまり、感熱フィルム3の内、原稿7の画像9に対応する部分が穿孔される。
【0028】
即ち、光が原稿7の画像9に吸収されて熱に変換されると、原稿7や感熱孔版原紙1に含まれている水分は一気に気化して爆発現象が起きるが、原稿7と感熱孔版原紙1は接着層4によって確実に固定されているので、このような爆発現象によっても両者の接着面が剥がれることはない。従って、感熱孔版原紙1の感熱フィルム3には、原稿7の画像9に忠実な穿孔画像が形成される。
【0029】
本例における製版では、原稿7と感熱孔版原紙1を機械的に加圧する必要がないので、製版装置に要求される機能は従来に比べて大きく削減され、非常に簡単な構造の装置で製版が可能になる。具体的には、接着した原稿7と感熱孔版原紙1を載置する基台と、原稿7と感熱孔版原紙1を覆って基台の上に設けられる光照射装置があればよい。光照射装置は、下面側が開口した箱であり、その内面は光反射板に覆われ、外部から点火可能なフラッシュバルブが設けられている。製版時には、接着した原稿7と感熱孔版原紙1を、感熱孔版原紙1を上にして基台の上に載せ、上から光照射装置を被せて閃光を照射すればよい。
【0030】
製版が完了したら、感熱孔版原紙1の接着層4から原稿7を剥がす。次に、図3に示すように、感熱孔版原紙1の接着層4の粘着力を消すために、接着層4に微粉を付着させる。そのために、図3に示すパウダーシート10を用いる。このパウダーシート10は、前記接着層4よりも粘着力の小さい粘着剤によってシート11の表面に微粉12を付着したものである。微粉12としては、粒径10μm以下のアクリル系、セルロース系、珪素系の微粉体が使用できる。製版後の前記感熱孔版原紙1の製版面にパウダーシート10の表面を密着させ、その後に該パウダーシート10を剥がす。パウダーシート10の微粉12は感熱孔版原紙1の接着層4に転写され、該接着層4の粘着力は消去される。
【0031】
図4は前記接着層4を格子状のパターンに形成した例を示す。この例では、支持体2として格子状に編まれた200メッシュの紗を用いており、この支持体上に感熱フィルム3が接着され、さらにグラビア印刷により2〜5μm程度のごく薄い厚さでこの感熱フィルム上に接着層4が形成されている。この格子パターンの接着層4は前記支持体2の繊維と同間隔で形成されると共に、支持体2の繊維間の開口部に位置する様に配置されている。
【0032】
これにより、製版された本例の感熱孔版原紙1においては、接着層4の部分は穿孔されないので、接着層4の格子状パターンの内部の感熱フィルム3が溶融して接着層4と支持体2に絡みつく。そして、接着層4の格子の間に形成された感熱フィルム3の開口6は、そこに露出した前記多孔性支持体2の繊維によって、より小さい複数の開口に分割されることとなる。即ち、本例の感熱孔版原紙1によれば、接着層4がない従来の原紙に比べて穿孔部の開口が小さくなり、製版画像及び印刷画像の分解能が向上する。
【0033】
従って、本例において製版された感熱孔版原紙1で印刷を行えば、従来よりも分解能の高い高品質の孔版印刷画像が得られる。また、感熱孔版原紙1の穿孔部の開口が多数に分割されて小さくなるので、印刷時に印刷用紙に転移するインクの量が減少する。このため、印刷済みの用紙を次々に重ねた場合に下の用紙の画像が上の用紙の裏に移る現象(裏写り)が発生しにくくなる。
【0034】
本例においては、感熱孔版原紙1に形成した接着層4は格子状であったが、図5に示す変形例のように、前記接着層を、前記多孔性支持体2の孔(繊維の隙間)よりも小さい点状のパターンの接着層4aに形成してもよい。このようにしても、製版時に溶融した感熱フィルム3が接着層4aを核として、この接着層4aと支持体2の間に橋を渡すように絡みつき、多孔性支持体2の繊維の隙間よりも小さな開口が得られる。よって、格子状の接着層4を有する前記例と同等の孔版印刷の品質が得られる。
【0035】
以上説明した例においては、感熱孔版原紙1に接着層4,4aを設け、原稿7と接着して製版を行った。しかしながら、感熱孔版原紙には従来のものを用い、原稿に本出願人が提案する感熱孔版原紙製版用原稿を用いてもよい。この感熱孔版原紙製版用原稿は、光熱変換物質を含む画像が形成されている用紙と、前記用紙の少なくとも前記画像上に設けられた接着層とを有している。光熱変換物質は前記原稿7の画像9が含むものと同一である。接着層は、前記接着層4,4aと同一の構成である。
【0036】
【発明の効果】
本発明によれば、感熱孔版原紙の製版面と光熱変換物質を含む原稿画像を接着層により直接接着させるので、機械的圧力を加える装置を必要とせずに製版を行うことができる。
【0037】
接着層を、感熱フィルムに点状または格子状に形成すれば、溶融された感熱フィルムの残渣が接着剤に絡み付き、多孔性支持体の隙間が小さく分割された状態の開口が得られ、このため孔版印刷の品位が向上するとともに、裏写りの問題が軽減される。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a heat-sensitive stencil printing method for making a plate by bonding an original and a heat-sensitive stencil sheet with an adhesive, a heat-sensitive stencil sheet with an adhesive useful for this method, and an original with an adhesive useful for this method.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A general heat-sensitive stencil sheet has a structure in which a porous support and a heat-sensitive film are bonded together. When making a plate, the heat-sensitive film, which is the stencil surface of the heat-sensitive stencil sheet, is brought into close contact with the carbon image of the original. Light is irradiated toward the original from the side of the support of the heat-sensitive stencil sheet. The carbon contained in the image of the document irradiated with light generates heat. The heat-sensitive film that is in close contact with the document is melted and perforated in the shape of an image by this heat.
[0003]
In making a heat-sensitive stencil sheet, it is necessary to ensure that the heat-sensitive film of the heat-sensitive stencil sheet and the original document are in close contact with each other. As described above, this is due to the principle of plate making in which a carbon image is heated by irradiating light, and the heat-sensitive film is melted and perforated by this heat.
[0004]
For this reason, conventionally, an apparatus for making a plate by bringing a thermosensitive film and a document into close contact with each other with mechanical pressure has been used. For example, the present applicant has proposed the following plate-making printing apparatus. This device has a base and a pressing plate attached to the upper surface of the base via a hinge so as to be openable and closable. The center of the pressing plate is formed of a transparent plate, a heat-sensitive stencil sheet is attached to the lower surface (base side), and a light irradiation device is detachably attached to the upper surface side. The original is placed on the base with the image facing up, and a heat-sensitive stencil sheet is provided on the lower surface of the transparent plate of the pressing plate so that the heat-sensitive film faces the image surface of the original. An irradiation device is provided. The press plate is pushed down to the base side to bring the stencil surface of the heat-sensitive stencil sheet into close contact with the document, and at that moment the light irradiation device is activated. The light irradiation device irradiates a flash toward the heat-sensitive stencil sheet through the transparent plate, and the heat-sensitive stencil sheet is made by the heat generation of the image of the document. Such a plate making printing apparatus proposed by the present applicant is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 64-11875.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In plate making using the plate making printing apparatus, an explosion phenomenon occurs in which moisture contained in the closely adhered original and the heat-sensitive stencil sheet evaporates and expands at a moment when an image is heated by a flash. This explosive force acts in the direction of peeling the original and the heat-sensitive stencil sheet in close contact with each other, so that the pressing plate is pressed against the base with enough pressure to withstand this, so that the original and the heat-sensitive stencil sheet are not separated. Must be. Since the plate-making printing apparatus is operated with such a strong pressing force, it is necessary to manufacture the plate-making printing apparatus with a strong structure and material capable of withstanding the pressure.
[0006]
The stencil printing apparatus having a strong structure and a mechanical pressurizing function as described above has a problem that the size of the entire apparatus is large and the manufacturing cost is high. Further, the plate making operation using such a plate making printing apparatus has a problem that a strong pressing force is required, so that fatigue of the operator cannot be avoided.
[0007]
An object of the present invention is to provide a heat-sensitive stencil sheet and a heat-sensitive stencil sheet and an original for heat-sensitive stencil sheet making, which are useful for the heat-sensitive stencil sheet making method, in which the heat-sensitive stencil sheet can be made without applying mechanical pressure to the heat-sensitive stencil sheet and the original.

This adhesive layer 4 is used for temporarily fixing the original by adhering it during plate making, as will be described later. Therefore, it should be a material that is weakly adhesive enough to be peeled off by hand, can withstand instantaneous forces such as the explosion phenomenon during plate making, and has good light transmission and thermal conductivity. preferable.
[0022]
As the adhesive forming the adhesive layer 4, for example, a pressure-sensitive adhesive can be used. Here, the pressure-sensitive adhesive means that it does not require a solvent or heat, adheres to another surface with a very low pressure, such as a finger pressure, and when peeling off, does not leave a trace on the adhered surface and easily peels off An adhesive that can be used.

The heat-sensitive film 3 corresponding to the portion of the layer 4 is not perforated, and the melted portion of the heat-sensitive film 3 becomes entangled with the support 2 and the adhesive layer 4.
[0026]
FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing a state at the time of plate making. The original 7 is formed by forming an image 9 containing a photothermal conversion material on a sheet 8. The light-to-heat conversion material may be any material that can convert light energy into heat energy. For example, carbon black, lamp black, silicon carbide, carbon nitride, metal powder, metal oxide Products, inorganic pigments, organic pigments, organic dyes and the like are preferred. Among these, those that exhibit large light absorption at a specific wavelength, such as phthalocyanine dyes, cyanine dyes, squarylium dyes, and polymethine dyes, are particularly preferable.
[0027]
As shown in FIG. 1, the release protection sheet 5 is peeled off from the heat-sensitive stencil sheet 1, and then the adhesive layer 4 of the heat-sensitive stencil sheet 1 is superimposed on the image 9 side of the original 7 as shown in FIG. The heat-sensitive stencil of the heat-sensitive stencil sheet 1 can be performed simply by irradiating a flash light from the side of the porous support 2 of the heat-sensitive stencil sheet 1 with the light irradiating means as shown by an arrow without applying external mechanical pressure. Is That is, a portion of the thermal film 3 corresponding to the image 9 of the original 7 is perforated.
[0028]
That is, when light is absorbed by the image 9 of the original 7 and converted into heat, the moisture contained in the original 7 and the heat-sensitive stencil sheet 1 evaporates at once, causing an explosion phenomenon. Since 1 is securely fixed by the adhesive layer 4, the bonded surface of both does not come off even by such an explosion phenomenon. Therefore, a perforated image faithful to the image 9 of the original 7 is formed on the heat-sensitive film 3 of the heat-sensitive stencil sheet 1.
[0029]
In the plate making in this example, since there is no need to mechanically pressurize the original 7 and the heat-sensitive stencil sheet 1, the functions required of the plate making device are greatly reduced as compared with the related art, and the plate making can be performed with a device having a very simple structure. Will be possible. Specifically, a base on which the bonded original 7 and the thermosensitive stencil sheet 1 are placed, and a light irradiation device provided on the base so as to cover the original 7 and the thermosensitive stencil sheet 1 may be used. The light irradiation device is a box whose lower surface is open, the inner surface of which is covered with a light reflection plate, and provided with a flash valve that can be ignited from the outside. At the time of plate making, the adhered original 7 and the heat-sensitive stencil sheet 1 may be placed on a base with the heat-sensitive stencil sheet 1 facing upward, and a light irradiation device may be applied from above to irradiate flash light.
[0030]
When plate making is completed, the original 7 is peeled off from the adhesive layer 4 of the heat-sensitive stencil sheet 1. Next, as shown in FIG. 3, fine powder is adhered to the adhesive layer 4 in order to eliminate the adhesive force of the adhesive layer 4 of the heat-sensitive stencil sheet 1. For this purpose, a powder sheet 10 shown in FIG. 3 is used. The powder sheet 10 has fine powder 12 adhered to the surface of the sheet 11 with an adhesive having a smaller adhesive strength than the adhesive layer 4. As the fine powder 12, an acrylic, cellulose, or silicon fine powder having a particle size of 10 μm or less can be used. The surface of the powder sheet 10 is brought into close contact with the plate making surface of the heat-sensitive stencil sheet 1 after plate making, and then the powder sheet 10 is peeled off. The fine powder 12 of the powder sheet 10 is transferred to the adhesive layer 4 of the heat-sensitive stencil sheet 1, and the adhesive strength of the adhesive layer 4 is eliminated.
[0031]
FIG. 4 shows an example in which the adhesive layer 4 is formed in a lattice pattern. In this example, a 200-mesh gauze woven in a lattice shape is used as the support 2, a heat-sensitive film 3 is adhered on the support, and the heat-sensitive film 3 has a very thin thickness of about 2 to 5 μm by gravure printing. The adhesive layer 4 is formed on the heat-sensitive film. The adhesive layers 4 of this lattice pattern are formed at the same intervals as the fibers of the support 2 and are arranged so as to be located at openings between the fibers of the support 2.
[0032]
As a result, in the heat-sensitive stencil sheet 1 of the present embodiment, the portion of the adhesive layer 4 is not perforated, so that the heat-sensitive film 3 in the lattice pattern of the adhesive layer 4 melts and the adhesive layer 4 and the support 2 are melted. Entangled with. The openings 6 of the heat-sensitive film 3 formed between the lattices of the adhesive layer 4 are divided into a plurality of smaller openings by the fibers of the porous support 2 exposed there. That is, according to the heat-sensitive stencil sheet 1 of the present example, the opening of the perforated portion is smaller than that of the conventional base sheet without the adhesive layer 4, and the resolution of the plate-making image and the print image is improved.
[0033]
Therefore, if printing is performed using the heat-sensitive stencil sheet 1 made in this example, a high-quality stencil image having higher resolution than before can be obtained. Further, since the opening of the perforated portion of the heat-sensitive stencil sheet 1 is divided into a large number and becomes small, the amount of ink transferred to the printing paper at the time of printing is reduced. For this reason, a phenomenon (show-through) in which the image of the lower sheet is shifted to the back of the upper sheet when printed sheets are successively stacked is less likely to occur.
[0034]
In this embodiment, the adhesive layer 4 formed on the heat-sensitive stencil sheet 1 has a lattice shape. However, as shown in a modified example shown in FIG. ) May be formed on the adhesive layer 4a having a dot-like pattern smaller than the above. Also in this case, the heat-sensitive film 3 melted at the time of plate making is entangled with the adhesive layer 4a as a nucleus so as to bridge a bridge between the adhesive layer 4a and the support 2, so that the gap between the fibers of the porous support 2 is smaller than that of the fiber. A small opening is obtained. Therefore, the same stencil printing quality as in the above example having the lattice-shaped adhesive layer 4 can be obtained.
[0035]
In the example described above, the heat-sensitive stencil sheet 1 was provided with the adhesive layers 4 and 4a, and was adhered to the original 7 to perform plate making. However, it is also possible to use a conventional heat-sensitive stencil sheet and to use a heat-sensitive stencil sheet making manuscript proposed by the present applicant for the manuscript. This heat-sensitive stencil original has a sheet on which an image containing a light-to-heat conversion material is formed, and an adhesive layer provided on at least the image of the sheet. The photothermal conversion material is the same as that contained in the image 9 of the original 7. The adhesive layer has the same configuration as the adhesive layers 4 and 4a.
[0036]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, the stencil surface of the heat-sensitive stencil sheet and the original image containing the light-to-heat conversion material are directly adhered to each other with the adhesive layer, so that stencil making can be performed without the need for a device for applying mechanical pressure.
[0037]
If the adhesive layer is formed on the heat-sensitive film in a dot-like or lattice-like manner, the residue of the melted heat-sensitive film is entangled with the adhesive, and an opening in a state where the gap between the porous supports is divided into small portions is obtained. The quality of stencil printing is improved, and the problem of show-through is reduced.
