Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for moistening and inking a printing plate located on a plate cylinder according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • DE 2 845 932 A1 describes a combined dampening inking unit for offset printing units as well as a method for quickly achieving the dampening ink balance when printing operation is resumed.
  • a dampening unit part immersion roller and metering roller
  • the entire ink dampening unit is pre-moistened.
  • the first ink dampening roller is switched off by the intermediate roller (bridge roller) and placed against the plate cylinder, so that the plate is both moistened and supplied with a certain proportion of fresh ink.
  • the printing plate is briefly over-moistened, whereupon the remaining inking rollers are placed on the plate cylinder for the purpose of continued printing and the first inking dampening roller and the intermediate roller (bridge roller) are brought into contact.
  • a similar principle of pre-wetting and pre-inking his printing plate is given in GB-S-1 377 116.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of expanding a method according to the preamble of claim 1 in such a way that waste can be reduced without the print quality suffering as a result.
  • All switching points (instead of the plate cylinder) should lie in the passage of the channel of the plate cylinder, so that no streaking occurs on the printed image on contact, which would otherwise be caused by the speed difference that is inevitable when the plate is turned on.
  • the essence of the invention is therefore that the measures described ensure that the dampening roller is pre-moistened well and then transfers the moisture to the plate cylinder without simultaneously pre-moistening the inking rollers. Rather, these are only pre-inked and the pre-inked inking rollers are then brought into contact with the directly pre-moistened plate cylinder, whereupon printing can begin.
  • a bridge roller is usually provided, which establishes the connection between the dampening unit and the first of the row of inking rollers.
  • the bridge roller is therefore in contact with the dampening roller and, after prewetting and pre-inking the plate cylinder, is also placed against the first inking roller, whereupon printing can begin. However, it can also remain parked on the first inking roller.
  • the measures according to claim 3 have the effect that no over-coloring can occur.
  • the inking rollers should be separated from the plate cylinder and possibly also from the dampening unit, so that only the dampening unit remains in contact with the plate at low speed. If a bridge roller is present, it also separates from the inking unit, so that too much dampening solution cannot get into the ink.
  • control circuit according to the invention and the process sequence according to the invention only add color when a sheet takes off the color.
  • the plate is pre-moistened with the correct amount of moisture, which is sufficient for one turn of the plate cylinder. Only then are the pre-inked inking rollers, which have not previously come into contact with the dampness of the dampening unit, placed on the plate cylinder and transfer their color to the plate cylinder or to the printing plate clamped to the plate cylinder.
  • a plurality of ink application rollers 1 are provided, against which ink distributor rollers 2 each rest. These rollers are part of an inking unit (not shown) of the printing unit in question.
  • a bridge roller 3 is provided, which bears against a dampening roller 4 here.
  • a dipping roller 5 dips into a dampening box 8 and a dosing roller 6 bears against the dipping roller 5.
  • a plate cylinder 7 is shown, on the circumference of which a printing plate (not shown in the drawing) is clamped.
  • the plate cylinder rotates in the direction of arrow 9.
  • Fig. 1 the dampening and inking unit is turned off. This is the machine's standstill. If the machine is switched on, all rollers and cylinders are driven to rotate, which is not shown in the drawing. The immersion and metering rollers 5, 6 are already in rotation when the dampening unit is switched on.
  • the dampening roller 4 is pre-moistened at an increased speed.
  • she is employed on the dipping roller 5. Two turns of the dampening roller are sufficient for this, corresponding to one turn of the plate cylinder 7 by approximately 232 °.
  • the dampening roller 4 and the plate cylinder 7 or its printing plate are pre-moistened.
  • Fig. 4 the printing plate of the plate cylinder 7 is pre-moistened and pre-inked.
  • the inking rollers 1 are placed on the plate cylinder 7. This setting of the inking rollers 1 takes place, based on the plate cylinder 7, 605 ° before the "pressure on" signal.
  • the bridge roller 3 is placed against the first inking roller 1.
  • the employed bridge roller 3 thus makes the contact from the dampening unit to the inking unit.
  • the switching point of the bridge roller is after inking the plate cylinder and before printing begins.
  • the advantages of the method according to the invention lie in particular in the fact that the individual components of the printing unit are switched in such a way that the plate cylinder is optimally prepared for printing the first sheet, so that the first sheet already achieves an optimum in printing quality Minimum waste is incurred. All components involved can also be switched individually. The switching sequence was determined empirically. The variability of the system ensures that user-specific process requirements can be met.
  • the sheet transport is started.
  • the plate cylinder is pre-moistened over 360 ° and then the inking rollers 1 switch to the plate cylinder 7, so that it is pre-inked for 605 ° before the "pressure on" signal.
  • the pre-moistening is initiated after the blowing air / suction air of the feeder coupling is applied and after the corresponding revolutions.
  • An additional sheet detection for example a sensor, in the path of sheet transport in front of the first printing unit is provided, however, controls the sheet travel, so that in the event of an interruption in printing, only the first printing unit and at most the second printing unit can enter the pre-dampening phase described. All the usual interventions by the operator do not prevent the printing units from being properly prepared in terms of process technology when restarted.
  • the bridge roller 3 switches to the inking unit and the connection between water and ink is established. See Fig. 5. With the signal "print-on” only the color lifter (not shown) of the inking unit is then switched on.
  • the printing plate is optimally prepared with dampening solution and ink. If the pressure is interrupted, a certain amount of over-humidification or under-humidification is unavoidable and is then dosed precisely.
  • the subsequent dampening units are prepared as soon as the first sheet is between the printing units concerned, i.e. in front of the respective printing unit and behind the previous printing unit.
  • the third dampening unit is therefore activated shortly before the sheet reaches the second printing unit.
