Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for densitometric Measuring printed products according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • For controlling the coloring and for quality control are in addition to the actual subject in the form of strips arranged measuring fields for the individual colors printed.
  • the measuring strips produced Start of print or end of print assigned.
  • One of the display removed sheet can then be placed on a base and in addition to the visual quality inspection by a traversing Densitometer can be measured. While traversing the densitometer has a lot of measurement data, i.e. provide the measuring fields assigned to the individual colors one or more color density values each.
  • the structure is also in accordance with the zonal color dosage of such a color measuring strip the color metering zones Printing press adapted. This is the case with known color density measuring strips one measuring field per color is assigned to each color metering zone.
  • Measuring fields of the basic colors cyan, magenta, yellow, black
  • the measuring fields for these special colors are preferably provided in each ink metering zone, i.e. at four basic and two special colors are in each color metering zone a total of 6 differently colored measuring fields plus any additional ones Quality inspection fields arranged.
  • the arrangement of the measuring fields assigned to the individual colors is in the metering zones with the known color measuring strips differently. This means that for example assigned to the color cyan in the first color metering zone Measuring field is arranged at the third measuring field position, in the second color metering zone another place (for example 5) occupies.
  • the arrangement of the assigned to the individual colors Measuring field positions thus varies within the Color metering zones, so that the maximum format width looks at every color or measuring field at the edges, is more in the middle of a paint metering zone.
  • a color measuring strip for sheet or printed products smaller formats (format width) used, so the measuring strip begins - centering of the measuring strip to Machine center - not with the first ink metering zone but instead with a measuring field of a certain color in one of each used printing format corresponding dosing zone.
  • Another way to take into account different formats result in different assignment of measuring fields in the individual dosing zones is one manual entry, where or in which zone the first one, for example Cyan-colored, measuring field lies.
  • the operator has for this purpose before measuring a first sheet of the measuring system to enter via controls that for the given format in Direction of measurement of the densitometer the cyan measuring field in the first zone of the arch is in position 3 or that in Direction of measurement of the densitometer the first measuring field of the zone on the far left, for example, has the color magenta.
  • Information is then taking into account the known Measuring strip dismantling (assignment / arrangement of the individual different colored measuring fields in the dosing zones) can be determined, in which dosing zone the measuring strip begins.
  • Color measuring strips arranged according to the substrate format has the disadvantage that by incorrect input incorrect measurement values obtained or the measurement values obtained not assigned to the corresponding ink metering zones can be. Deriving control commands for the zonal Color guidance is then not possible. Also possibly necessary Detection runs are considered due to the additional time involved to look at disadvantageously.
  • EP-A-0 064 024 describes a method in a device for colorimetric Analysis of a printed color measuring strip known. From the course of the successively obtained color measurement values are formed by means of differential formation Measuring field limits determined.
  • a pressure control strip is known from EP-A-0 434 072, which extends over its entire length Length is divided into measuring field sequences.
  • the Pressure control strips designed such that in each measuring field sequence the Print control strip contain several corresponding measuring fields and these in each sequence partially or in total in a different order are.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore a device for densitometric measurement of printed products to expand in accordance with the preamble of claim 1, so that a simple and fail-safe assignment of the in the Measuring field colors arranged in individual color metering zones possible is.
  • Evaluation unit a comparison of the color density values of a Measuring field with the neighboring measuring fields of the same Color and measuring field type (full tone or screen tone) becomes. It is taken into account that within a measuring strip known structure, the arrangement of, for example measuring fields assigned to the printing ink cyan over the entire maximum format width known and different from zone to zone is. The one obtained on a measuring field of cyan color Color density value in zone N may be due to knowledge of the measuring strip structure with the color density value of the cyan measuring field in the zone N + 1 are compared. Doing so exploited that due to the color cross flow and in particular the color rubbing in offset printing machines the color density curve runs flat across the machine width, i.e. the Color density values of the cyan measuring fields in the dosing zones N-1, N, N + 1 do not have large jumps relative to one another.
  • the color density value D n of each color of a measuring field type is now compared with the color density values D n + 1 of the same color of the adjacent fields for the existing measuring fields in the metering zones in connection with the known structure of the measuring strip.
  • the measuring field under consideration eg cyan
  • the cyan measuring field in the second dosing zone is next to it by a certain number of measuring fields.
  • the third, fourth and the other cyan measuring fields corresponding distances result from the specified measuring strip structure.
  • the quantity 4 * (D n + 1 - D n ) 2 / (D n + 1 + D n ) 2 is calculated for all adjacent measurement fields.
  • This quantity describes the square of the relative density change between two neighboring density values.
  • the mean value is calculated from this quantity and the mean value for all printed colors of the measuring strip from all mean values. The result obtained in this way is a parameter for the smoothness of the density curve. If the smoothness parameters are calculated for all possible constellations between the measured values and the known stripe structure, there is a minimum for a single constellation. This minimum constellation corresponds to the actual field assignment.
  • the calculation of the minimum constellation is carried out in the computing device according to the invention, which as a result supplies the measured values (color density values) in correct assignment to the printing units and the ink metering zones of the inking units.
  • measured values color density values
  • the computing device which as a result supplies the measured values (color density values) in correct assignment to the printing units and the ink metering zones of the inking units.
  • density values of unoccupied measuring fields paper white
  • the Setup to be carried out variation of the field shift according to the measuring strip structure in both Directions, i.e. starting from a one Color-assigned measuring field in any color metering zone the measurement value assignment according to the strip structure becomes Calculation of the density change described above in both Directions varied.
  • This makes it possible for a further input is omitted, namely the indication whether the measuring strip of the leading edge or the trailing edge of the Print sheet (print start / print end) is assigned.
  • the device according to the invention makes it unnecessary that an operator has to be entered via control elements Assignment of the first measuring field / dosing zone.
  • the printed sheet 1 can be used for visual and measurement purposes Quality control placed on a base 2 become.
  • the base 2 is part of a perspective in Figure 1 illustrated measuring desk.
  • a measuring strip 3 is also printed on the edge of the printed sheet 1.
  • the measuring strip 3 consists of a large number of the measuring fields formed during printing 4.
  • the measuring fields 4 result in the measuring strips lying side by side 3 and 5 are the individual ink metering zones 5 in FIG. 1 assigned to the press not shown.
  • the ink metering zones 5 are marked on the base 2 (measuring desk) so that the subject located on the printed sheet 1 also with regard to the zonal allocation can be assessed.
  • the measuring fields 4 of the color measuring strip 3 point in terms of the individual colors a predetermined order within the Ink metering zones 5. This means, for example, that Measuring field of the color cyan in the individual color metering zones 5 is different in each case. In one color metering zone 5, for example, is the measuring field of the color cyan at the third position, in the next ink metering zone the sixth position, in the next but one ink metering zone 5 again at the second position, etc. For the remaining printing inks and their assignment to the ink metering zones 5 applies appropriate.
  • the densitometer measuring head 6 is on a not shown in Figure 1 Suspension articulated and motorized along the direction of extension of the measuring strip can be moved.
  • the direction of movement of the densitometer measuring head 6 is in Figure 1 by the double arrow indicated.
  • the densitometer measuring head 6 can additionally also a movement perpendicular to the direction of extension of measuring strip 3.
  • FIG. 2 shows the densitometer measuring head 6 according to the invention downstream evaluation device 7.
  • Densitometer measuring head 6 When scanning the Measuring fields 4 of the measuring strip 3 Densitometer measuring head 6 are designed as computers Evaluation unit 7 supplied to the densitometer measuring head 6 is connected downstream.
  • the computer of the evaluation unit 7 is still in shape with a display device 8 of a monitor in operative connection, furthermore the with predefined target values calculated measurement results of the Densitometer measuring head 6 also for setting commands for the Color guidance of a printing press 9 can be used.
  • the evaluation unit 7 with the color guide elements (not shown in FIG. 2) of a printing press 9 in Operatively connected.
