Description

Detailed Description of the Invention 3. Detailed Description of the Invention [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a color proof (color inspection) production device. More specifically, the present invention relates to an apparatus for creating a color proof using color paper for use in checking the quality of color printed matter, and is capable of creating a positive color proof from a negative or positive original image.

[Background of the Invention Ideally, to check the quality of cocolor printed matter, it is desirable to check the quality of printed matter printed by this machine, but it takes time and
This is disadvantageous in terms of work ψ cost, etc., and conventionally, proof printing using a single proofing machine has been used as a substitute for quality checks. Proofreading was also outsourced.9)1 Previously, proofreading was mainly performed by outside proofreaders, but due to competition in delivery times and prices in recent years, proofreading has become more important due to demands for internal rationalization of processes within printing companies. As the need for so-called in-house inspections increased, there was a demand for the development of a color-proofing system that would enable quick, easy, and stable inspection of internal inspections.

In response to the above request, Cromarin (Dupont), Color Key (3M), Transfer Key (3M), Gevevluff (Agra/Gevev1), Remak Electrogram (Remak), etc. were proposed, as well as electronic color monitors. Image conductor as one type
(Toppan Co., Ltd.), EP-111-B(+), S, Co.), and a color paper similar to the method of the present invention is "Fujichrome CB Print" made by Ciba Geigy/Fuji Film Co., Ltd.

8-104335 F, JP-A-58-113139 The present invention relates to the creation of a color proof using a single color paper method, but the Ciba-Geigy/Fuji Film company's conventionally known method using this method is different from the original one. Yellow (Y version), magenta (M version), and cyan (0 version) halftone film plates are created from the color original using a color scanner or a plate-making camera, and the halftone film plates are sequentially printed on a color photosensitive material using V and V. Safelight light for color paper (Fuji Film: 5LG-103A)
The image is exposed three times and then developed.

The finished color proof is the same size as the halftone film version, and all one or more treatments are carried out in a dark room, except when a special light source or color photosensitive material is used.

The original film obtained by color separation of the original color original may be either negative or positive, but during exposure, the type of color photosensitive material must be selected according to the type of original image, and Because there are differences in development processing, the work is not only complicated, but because conventional equipment is operated in a dark room, there is a risk of setting errors in color photosensitive materials, and the time required to create color proofs has been reduced. This poses an obstacle in measuring the

The present invention was created in view of the above, and its main purpose is to provide a color proof production device that can select a color photosensitive material to be used according to the type of original image with a simple operation. The above-mentioned object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for creating a color proof by exposing an image on a transparent original obtained by color separation of a color original onto a color photosensitive material, in which a positive color photosensitive material and a negative color photosensitive material are used. A photosensitive material is prepared, an optical means consisting of a light source, an exposure table, a shutter, a lens, and a filter for exposing the image on the transmission document to the color photosensitive material, and the type of image on the color photosensitive material and the document ( This is achieved by a color proof production apparatus characterized by having a selection means for selecting a color photosensitive material depending on whether the photosensitive material is negative or positive, and a conveyance means for conveying the exposed color photosensitive material to the outside of the apparatus.

[Example] First, the present invention will be described in detail, and then a specific example of a device to which the present invention is applied will be described according to the accompanying drawings.

7. A preferred embodiment of the color proof production apparatus of the present invention is composed of an exposure system A, a development processing system B, and a control system C, as shown in FIG. ,
Embodiments lacking the development processing system B are also included.

The exposure system A includes elements such as a light source, a document table, a shutter, a lens filter, an exposure table, a color photosensitive material supply, and a 4!2 transport or transport means, and the development processing system B includes a processing liquid and its supply. Control system C includes elements such as discharge, temperature adjustment, conveyance and drying of color photosensitive materials, and control system C turns on and off the operation of each of the above elements, detects operating time or amount, detects malfunctions, and switches. 1 selection, warnings or instructions, etc.

Particularly important hardware and software in the device of the present invention are:
The invention relates to storage selection, supply, processing control, etc. of color photosensitive materials that enable selection of a specific color photosensitive material according to the type of original image, and will be sequentially explained below.

[Eiji Gowata 11 This method determines whether a document image is negative or positive, and there are two methods: one that is visually checked by the operator, and the other that is automatic. In the case of visual determination by the operator, the operator visually determines whether the image on the original film is negative or positive, and then presses the selection button C1 or C2 provided on the control panel or the original table. I will do it.

To perform automatic discrimination between negative and positive, 1 For example, at the stage of creating the original film, write 1M on the part of the original film that does not interfere with the image information, such as a so-called registration mark, to specify the negative or positive. This information can be recorded together with the type information of the version, 0 version, and BK version, or this information can be recorded on the original film by pasting a barcode label or the like prior to the exposure operation. In addition to 0 or more information that is read by a reading device provided on the device side or manually by the operator, information necessary for image enlargement or reduction magnification and color proofing. It is also preferable to record information, or even information necessary for printing, on a part of the original film, so that all or part of this is displayed on the color proof.

Storage of Color Photosensitive Materials It is preferable to prepare color photosensitive materials of different sizes in addition to providing positive and/or negative types. Color photosensitive materials may be rolled or cut. It is preferable that these color photosensitive materials are stored in a magazine and fed into a machine called a macazine.

・J (Feeding When the discrimination information of the original image is input, negative or positive color photosensitive material is selectively taken out from the magazine and supplied to the exposure position. This is due to system switching, but the optical path is switched to a separate exposure position where different types of color photosensitive materials are prepared.
In the case of such a method in which a color photosensitive material may be specified by moving the exposure position, only the transport system related to the selected color photosensitive material is controlled to operate.

When the size of the color photosensitive material to be used is small, prepare different types of cut paper on a turntable-like support and rotate the support to place the specific type of color photosensitive material (a magazine containing it) at the exposure position. ) may be used to select a color photosensitive material. In such a system, it is preferable that the macadines other than the one selected be regulated in a light-shielding state.

Carrying out the exposed color-sensitive material In the case of an embodiment in which the exposure system A and the development processing system B are not integrated, the exposed color-sensitive material is automatically stored in a magazine or the like and then transferred to an automatic processor. .

The magazine may store only one sheet of exposed color photosensitive material or multiple sheets, but in the latter case, the magazine must be designed so that negatives and positives are not confused. It is preferable to automatically select a magazine for negative color photosensitive material and a magazine for positive color photosensitive material to store exposed color photosensitive materials.

On the other hand, it is preferable that the magazine itself be provided with identification means, such as markings or uneven cutouts, to determine whether it stores negative color photosensitive material or positive color photosensitive material. With this configuration, it becomes possible for the loaded automatic developing machine to automatically discriminate and process.

In the case of an apparatus in which the exposure system A and the development processing system B are integrated, the exposed color photosensitive material is automatically fed into the automatic developing machine by a conveyance means.

Control of development processing system B If the exposure system A and development processing system B are not integrated, as described above, the processing system will be controlled according to the information recorded in the magazine containing the exposed color photosensitive material. Control, for example, 0NCIFF of secondary exposure, processing speed, etc., is performed, but these may be performed manually by the operator.

In the case of an apparatus in which the exposure system A and the development processing system B are integrated, the processing systems are controlled at the same time when the type of document image is specified.

Furthermore, this control may be performed in accordance with the detected information by providing a sensor for detecting the type of color photosensitive material in the middle of the conveyance path for transferring the color photosensitive material from the exposure system A to the development processing system B.

Displays and warnings In order to prevent erroneous operations and shorten processing time, the operation panel etc. displays information such as the type of image specified, the type and size of the color photosensitive material used, the enlargement or reduction magnification, and the operation of the processing system. In addition to displaying the status, etc., it is preferable to display a warning of malfunction or instructions for operation.

Next, a specific example of the color proof production device according to the present invention will be explained according to the attached drawings.

FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the device, and in the figure,
10 is a frame body, an optical system 20, a color photosensitive material conveyance system 3;
0. A developing processing system 40 is installed inside. The development processing system 40 may be configured in a frame separate from the frame 10 and connected to a part of the color photosensitive material transport system 30, or the exposed color photosensitive material may be stored in a light-shielding macazine or the like. In the latter case, the optical system 2
0, the color photosensitive material can be exposed and fed into a single development processing system 40 prepared separately, or conversely, a plurality of development processing systems 40 may be provided, or both. By creating multiple numbers, it is possible to speed up the creation of color proofs.

Furthermore, allowing the exposed color photosensitive material to be loaded into the developing system 40 using a magazine or the like has the advantage that the developing system 40 can be used for purposes other than creating color proofs. Of course, it is also preferable that the color photosensitive material that has been exposed externally can be fed into the development processing system 40 integrated with the optical system 20, separately from the transport system 30 for the original color photosensitive material.

In color plate inspection, negative color paper, negative color film, positive color paper, positive color film, etc. can be used as color photosensitive materials, and since the original image may be negative or positive, color The photosensitive material 50 is a roll-shaped negative color photosensitive material 5 stored in a magazine 31 as shown in FIG.
1 and a positive color photosensitive material 52 are prepared. To set the color photosensitive material 50 in the apparatus, as shown in the figure, the leading end is slightly pulled out from the magazine 31, and the leading end is inserted into the nib rotor 32 of the transport system 30, which is operated in a spaced state. When the magazine 31 is set and the nip roller 32 is pressed against the nip roller 32, loading of the color photosensitive material 50 into the conveyance system 30 is completed.

By pressing the 1M production button, the conveyance system 30 is activated, the color photosensitive material $450 is pulled out by a certain length, and the rear end is cut by the cutter 33. The length to be cut is controlled by measuring the feed length from the position of the cutter 33 using a timer or the amount of rotation of the conveyance roller, but the length is related to the magnification in the optical system 20, which will be described later, and is constant. However, for example, if the halftone original film is 〇 size and the magnification is 1:1,
Cut to A3 size. Cut color photosensitive material 5
0 is the exposure table 3 according to the rotation of the conveyance roller of the conveyance system 30.
4.

As shown in FIG. 3, the exposure table 34 is composed of one or more endless belts provided with a large number of small holes, and is conveyed to a position in front of the exposure table 34 by rotation of conveyance rollers. The color photosensitive material 50 is temporarily stopped, and is transferred to the front surface of the exposure table 34 by activating the suction fan 35 provided on the back side of the exposure table 34.
! : The image is in a fixed state and preparation for exposure is completed.

If the color photosensitive material is located at the seam of the endless belt, there is a risk that unevenness will occur on the emulsion surface, so the sensor detects the seam and timing is taken to prevent the color photosensitive material from being guided to the seam. There is.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 21 denotes a document table in the optical system 20, on which a document is set or taken out by rotating it horizontally using an operating arm, as shown by imaginary lines.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the document table 21 is provided with a light source 22, which is provided with a light reflecting plate within the space of a box-shaped frame. A light diffusing plate 23 is prepared. After placing the original film 60 at a predetermined upper surface position of the light diffusing plate 23 using a registration pin and covering it with the Mylar sheet 24,
When the vacuum pump 25 shown in FIG. 1 is operated, suction force is applied through the suction grooves prepared around the light diffusion plate 230, and the original film 80 is sandwiched between the Mylar sheets 24 and the light diffusion plate It comes into close contact with the upper surface of 23. At this time,
It is even more effective to squeeze the top surface of the Mylar sheet 24 with a roller.

Although the rotating shaft 28 of the document table 21 is made hollow and is used as part of the suction pipe from the vacuum pump 27 to the document table 21, the suction pipe is arranged separately from the rotation shaft 28. Note that as a countermeasure against uneven illuminance caused by the light source of the document table 21 (in general, the illuminance tends to be high in the center and low in the peripheral areas), the following method is taken.

a) Lower the reflectance at the center of the light reflector and increase the reflectance at the periphery (pasting paper, etc. with low reflectance at the center of the reflector,
(or apply paint, etc.) b) To increase the amount of light in the peripheral area, use the peripheral light source and light diffuser #! Shorten the distance.

C) Arrange peripheral light sources densely.

d) Increase the tip of the peripheral light source by increasing the voltage, etc.

e) Use a high-intensity light source in the periphery.

f) Add small light sources to the periphery.

g) The thickness of the light diffusing plate 23 is made thinner at the periphery than at the center.

h) Attach a light-absorbing film or the like to the back side of the central light source to reduce the amount of reflected light and adjust the illuminance.

The illuminance distribution on the document table 21 is adjusted so that the illuminance distribution of the image projected onto the exposure table 21 through the optical system 20 shown in FIG. 1 is uniform.

In the fIxjS diagram, the light W22 from the document table 2 is a cylindrical light source such as a fluorescent lamp, and the frequency intensity distribution of the light is almost constant in the visible light range, which are arranged vertically or horizontally. , a xenon lamp, a halogen lamp, or other strong light source may also be used.

In the apparatus shown in FIG. 1, the optical system 20 includes a light source 22 (
Although the document table 21), shutter 27, lens 28, filter 29, and exposure table 34 are used, the order of the shutter 27, lens 28, and filter 29 may be changed, and the filter 29 is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the filter 29 is set on a filter turret, and by rotating the turret, any filter 29 for B, G, R, and BK can be selected.

It is also possible to incorporate multiple filters inside the lens and have them selected.

The shutter 27 is fixed by a light-shielding plate that partitions the internal space of the frame 10, and divides the exposure optical path into the light source side and the color photosensitive material side, so that the optical path on the light source side is placed under a bright room. It makes it possible.

In the case of the above configuration, the shutter 27 and the plate to which it is attached form a light shielding means, but the shutter 27
An independent light-shielding means may be prepared separately from the document, and the plate may be configured to be movable, such as a bellows-shaped or flexible curtain. The optical path may be opened and closed in conjunction with the opening and closing operations of the table 21.

Although not shown in detail, it is also preferable that the optical system 20 incorporates an optical mechanism that allows the image to be enlarged or reduced.

In the case of the apparatus shown in FIG. 2, the filters 29 for positive color photosensitive materials include B (blue), G (green),
In addition to the three types of R (red) available, there are Y (yellow), M (magenta), and C (cyan) filters that are used as rough filters for BK to adjust the light source to a completely white color for color photosensitive materials. A combination filter is set.

Adjustment of the exposure amount corresponding to the exposure of each color separation is performed by adjusting rA of the exposure time corresponding to each color separation using the timer in the control section 11, or by adjusting the rough filter density for B, G, R, BK. Furthermore, when using a high-intensity light source such as a strobe flash, xenon lamp, pulsed xenon lamp, or halogen lamp, this can be done by controlling the lighting time of the light source after the shutter is opened, and changing the light source. This can also be done by controlling the intensity.

Furthermore, as the document table 21, as shown in FIG. 7, a type that performs slit-type scanning exposure using a cylindrical halogen lamp as a light source can also be used. In such a case, the exposure amount can be adjusted by changing the width of the slit and the scanning speed by controlling the rotational speed of the drive motor. It is also preferable to turn on a halogen lamp immediately before starting scanning, and to install a fan for exhausting heat.The scanning direction may be vertical or horizontal in one drawing.

The magnification of the projected image through the optical system 20 is l:1, but
By using a zoom lens (variable focal length lens) or the like, it is also possible to perform reduction or enlargement projection to form one image. In particular, in the case of reduction, a large size plate can be reduced to create a color proof, so the area of the color sensitive material can be reduced, and the color proof can be obtained in a cheap, easy-to-see and convenient form.

The color photosensitive material 5o that has been exposed is transferred to a development processing system 40.
is discharged to the automatic developing section. It is preferable that the conveying speed of the roller in the automatic developing section and the conveying speed of the roller at the time of discharge in the photographing section be made to match, so as to avoid conveyance defects. If the speed of the roller in the photographing section is faster, a sensor is installed on the roller at the entrance of the automatic developing section, and when the color photosensitive material is bitten by the roller at the entrance of the automatic developing section, the clutch of the ◆ roller in the photographing section is activated. By making it free, smooth conveyance can also be achieved.

The exposed color photosensitive material 50 that has entered the automatic developing section undergoes the processes of immersion, second exposure, and development in a developing tank.
It then undergoes a plumbing-free, water-free washing process where the final image is formed by bleaching, fixing, stabilizing, and drying processes.

In the developing, bleaching/fixing, stable 1, and stable 2 processing tanks, the respective processing solutions are constantly stirred by circulation pumps.

In addition, the developing, bleaching, and fixing tanks are equipped with temperature regulators (heat exchangers).
This keeps the temperature constant and stabilizes the image. Second
Exposure uses a light source of equal intensity across the visible light range to invert the development nuclei of the silver halide grains without disturbing the color balance. Further, by inserting a transparent glass or the like between the second exposure surface and the photosensitive material, it is possible to eliminate the influence of cloudy developer on the illuminance.

The stabilization tank is composed of one stabilization tank and two stabilization tanks, and the stabilization tank is stable 2#I! The overflow liquid enters one stable tank. Counterflow replenishment is carried out by a sensor at the inlet of the automatic processing machine (automatic processing machine) only while the color photosensitive material is passing through, thereby maintaining the activation of the processing solution. That is, the developer replenisher is supplied to the developer tank, the bleach/fixer replenisher is supplied to the bleach/fixer tank, and the stabilizer is supplied to the stabilizer 2#a from the replenishment tank by a bellows pump or the like.

Preferably, the overflowing solution is separated into a bleaching/fixing solution and a stabilizing solution containing silver, and a color developing solution containing no silver, and then recovered.

The heater in the drying section is preferably activated in order to save energy by using a sensor to detect when the color photosensitive material is transported from the processing tank.

The specific structure of each prefecture and the arrangement of each prefecture in the apparatus shown in FIG. 2 are not limited to those shown in one figure, and various design changes are possible. For example, the document table 21 is connected to the frame lO.
After placing the original in the upper surface position and setting the original in the horizontal state shown in FIG. Formed into a drawer shape and pulled out horizontally from the main body frame 10,
Set the original film on the top surface and push it into the main body frame 10 and expose it from below to above, or place a prism or a reflecting mirror in the optical path as shown in Utility Model Application Publication No. 58-773 [5]. By doing so, it becomes possible to make the device easier to operate and more compact.

Furthermore, when using cut vapor as the color photosensitive material 50 instead of one prepared in roll form, it is possible to divert the technology of conventional printers, copying machines, etc., such as supplying and transporting the vapor. be.

Next, the image on the original film 60 is captured by the above device.
The operation of exposing the color photosensitive material 50 to light will be explained.

The original film 60 is a Y version (
It consists of positive or negative plates: M (magenta), 0 (cyan), and BK (black).

To set the original film 60 on the original table 21, place the original film 60 on the edge prepared on the upper surface of the original table 21.
This is done by engaging a small registration hole prepared on the 0 side, but a so-called registration mark may also be used.

In creating conventional color proofs, 7th edition M edition, 0
Since each of the original film 50 for the plate and BK version was exposed individually, it was necessary to set the original film on the original table four times, that is, to expose the original film four times. In the above-mentioned method of creating a color proof using Ciba Geigy/Fuji Film's color vapor, a BK plate is not used, so three exposures are performed.

In the present invention, a BK plate is first set on the document platen 21, a 7th plate original film is placed on top of the BK plate, and the 7th plate original film is then exposed using a B filter. By exposing the plate to light three times with an R filter, it is possible to create a full-color color proof.

In other words, in the case of positive color vapor, there are Y, M, and C calendars that are photosensitive to B, G, and R, and only the parts that are not exposed to light are colored Y, M, and C, respectively. On the other hand, is it a film manuscript?

If the colors have been separated into Y, M, and CBK positive films as shown in Figure 8, then if you stack the 7th edition film and the BK edition film, expose them to B, and develop them as shown in Figure 9. It will be exposed. Furthermore, when the M version film and the BK version film are exposed to G light and developed, the 0 version film and the BK version film are further exposed to 11
(When exposed to i-light and developed, the original color original is reproduced as shown in FIG. 11. Therefore, only three exposures are required.

Also, when creating a color inspection plate for color separation, for example,
When inspecting only the plate, as shown in FIG. 12, 2 can be obtained by exposing the 7th plate film to B exposure, then Qfi light and R exposure to the entire surface. When using M plate, pass the M plate positive only when using GH light, and when using 0 plate, pass 0 only when using R exposure.
By exposing the entire surface of the plate to light through the plate positive, it is possible to obtain color separation with three exposures.

In the case of BK version film, as shown in FIG.

Color separation can be obtained with one W exposure using a BK rough filter. Of course, instead of W exposure, the same result can be obtained by using a BK plate film and exposing it three times to B, G, and R.

When creating a color inspection plate of two or more colors, use the above method on a temporary basis 9 For example, for Y plate and M plate, use Fig. 13, M
It can be obtained by sandwiching a plate film.

However, if the BK version is included, the W dew point cannot be used and the first
In the B, G, and R exposures shown in Figures 2 to 14, the BK version film is always passed through.

In order to form a color image from a negative Y version, M version, 0 version, and BK version original film, a negative color photosensitive material 52 prepared in the apparatus is used as the color photosensitive material 50.

The process of taking out the negative color photosensitive material 52 from the magazine 31 and loading it onto the exposure table 4 is the same as that for the positive color photosensitive material 51.

The method for selecting films and filters is as shown in FIG. That is, YIri color separated as shown in the figure.
, (*ga) , Mlffi (*ka) , C1ff
1 <*-)j> BK version (negative), Y version negative
It is obtained by exposing the 1M plate negative to G exposure, the 0 plate negative to R exposure, and the BK plate negative to W exposure four times. This means that the Y, N, and C layers of negative color vapor are B, G, and
It is photosensitive to R, and the parts that are exposed to light are sensitive to Y and M, respectively.
, C. When developed after the first exposure, it becomes as shown in FIG. 17.

Similarly, in FIG. 20, the same positive image as the color original document is reproduced.

In this case, the color separations can be obtained by one exposure of each necessary plate.For example, to obtain the color separations of a Y-plate negative,
Is it sufficient to perform B exposure on the negative plate only once?Is it sufficient to perform color separation on the BK negative plate only once in W exposure?Of course, it is sufficient to expose the BK negative plate to B and G as is. , R may be exposed three times.

When performing color separation of two or more colors, all you need to do is expose the plate of that color to the corresponding light.For example, when performing color separation inspection of a Y-plate negative and a M-plate negative, the Y-plate negative is Exposure: All you need to do is expose the M plate negative to G exposure.

If a Bk version negative is included, W exposure of the BK version negative is included, and three exposures of B, G, and R of the BK version negative cannot be performed.

The process for transporting to the automatic developing section and in the automatic developing section is the same as that for the positive color photosensitive material 51, however,
In the case of a negative color sensitive material, the second exposure of the developing layer is turned off so that the image is not inverted. The same processing agent and equipment as those for the positive color sensitive material can be used, or the processing can be controlled by changing the processing time (@the speed of the feeding means).

In the following explanation, the formation of a color image from an original film that has been converted into a halftone image has been described, but an image can be constructed in exactly the same way using a continuous tone color separation film that has not been formed into a halftone image. In this case, the gamma of the color photosensitive material)
is not a high-value contrast as in the case of halftone images, but γ
A small, soft color vapor is suitable.

Further, as the positive color photosensitive material, a direct positive color photosensitive material is taken as an example, or as long as it is a positive photosensitive material, color reversal vapor, vapor for silver die process, diffusion transfer type instant vapor, etc. may be used.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the color proof creation device of the present invention, it is possible to quickly and accurately create a full-color color proof from any type of original image, so that the above objective can be achieved. This is especially beneficial for short processing times of color proofs.
