Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce labor for manufacture, installing operation, and registering operation of a printing plate by enabling the plate to be formed directly from an image data on a printing machine. CONSTITUTION:A digital image data is divided into pieces of data corresponding to respective primary colors and is processed by operation. Above-mentioned image data is converted to a non-image area data to be magnetized and is sent to a magnetic head 2 to magnetize a part corresponding to the non-image area of a magnetic drum 1. Dampening water composed of aqueous magnetic fluid is supplied from a dampening water feeder 3 and is stuck to the non-image area with magnetic force of the magnetized non-image area. Then, ink to be supplied with an ink feeder 5 is stuck to the non-image area with no dampening water. The ink of a printing area of a surface of the magnetic drum 1 is transferred to the surface of a blanket cylinder 7 and is, further, when printing paper from a paper feeder 9 passes through an impression cylinder 8 and the blanket cylinder 7, transferred to the printing paper to perform printing.

Next, printing work will be explained. First, digital image data input from the outside into the image data calculation unit is divided into data corresponding to each primary color of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. The data of each divided color is 1
Each pixel is expressed on 166 pixels, and each pixel is 6
Arithmetic processing is performed to represent the number of tones of four or more gradations. The magnetic drum 1 rotates and its entire surface is demagnetized by a demagnetizing head 6. The image data is converted into non-image area data to be magnetized and sent to the magnetic head 2, which magnetizes the portion of the magnetic drum 1 which is rotating twice, corresponding to the non-image area. In addition,
First, the entire surface of the magnetic drum 1 may be magnetized, and then the portion j corresponding to the image area of the image data may be demagnetized by the degaussing head 6 to magnetize the non-image area. In this state, print work begins. A dampening water supply device 3 supplies dampening water consisting of an aqueous magnetic fluid in a thin film of several micrometers. The dampening water adheres to the non-image area due to the magnetic force of the magnetized non-image area. The image area remains demagnetized, and since the surface of the magnetic drum 1 has been subjected to hydrophobic treatment, dampening water does not adhere to it. Next, ink is supplied by the ink supply device 5, but the ink adheres to the image area where there is no dampening water. The ink on the image area on the surface of the magnetic drum 1 is transferred to the surface of the blanket cylinder 7, and when the printing paper carried over the impression cylinder 8 from the paper feeder 9 passes between the impression cylinder 8 and the blanket cylinder 7, printing is performed. Transferred to paper and printed. The printing paper is conveyed to the next impression cylinder 8 via an intermediate cylinder, sequentially printed in four colors, and then discharged. When a predetermined number of sheets have been printed, the blade of the cleaning device 5 scrapes off ink and magnetic fluid from the surface of the magnetic drum 1. And the degaussing head 6
The entire surface of the magnetic drum 1 is demagnetized and the work is completed.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, a printing plate can be formed directly from image data on a printing press, so there is no longer a need for printing plates that were previously prepared separately. No installation work is required, and it can also be used for color printing in small lofts.
Moreover, the expenses required for this became unnecessary. Furthermore, since a plate can be formed directly from the image data on the printing press, registration work can be eliminated.
