Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for setting the register in a multi-color printing press with several devices for the digital generation of partial color images, whereby the creation and assembly of the Partial color images are controlled so that register-based prints are achieved.
  • the invention further relates to a device for carrying out the method a multi-color printing machine with several devices for digital generation of partial color images, with at least one controller for achieving register-based Print a register setting that creates and merges the part color images is controlled.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of a method and a device of the type mentioned in such a way that a change in the toner profile no longer, not even temporarily, due to a change of printed pages leads to a register error.
  • the object is achieved according to the invention in that a change in the toner profile, the influence of the toner profile on the register by means of existing influencing factors are taken into account immediately when the change is carried out becomes.
  • the at least one controller is designed such that it changes the toner profile the influence of the toner profile on the register by means of existing influencing variables taken into account immediately with the implementation of the change.
  • the advantage of the invention is that when the toner profile is changed a change of print page an impending register error without any Delay is counteracted. There is no longer any need to wait for that to happen changed toner profile in a register error detectable with the help of register marks precipitates, but it is possible that immediately with the print page change counteracted and thus the occurrence of a register error from the outset is prevented, so that test prints of prints and / or registration marks in the Are usually not required. This is economically viable especially for short runs Significance because machine time and often also printing substrates are saved. It is only in relation to the printing of printed pages with changing content possible in this important application area of printing presses with digital To achieve an unprecedented quality standard.
  • the measure according to the invention enables a register setting of a known type to be optimized so that they do not go first when the toner profile changes "gets out of hand” to be corrected afterwards, but the Register setting remains in the range of tolerable fluctuations, so that at one Change of the toner profile can be continued without interruption.
  • the invention does not exclude the additional consideration of other influencing factors, as far as these have an influence on the register.
  • a further development of the method provides that as a result of a register correction a change in the toner profile the retroactive influence of the toner profile of the previous one but still in the printing process printed pages on the register of new print page already in the printing process is taken into account.
  • the registers of the prints are different when changing the print page with another Image content guaranteed even better.
  • the press can run without any interruption continue printing even if two partial color images are created the print page change takes place in such a way that the new partial color image already is created while the previous partial color image of the previous print page is not yet or has not yet been completely transferred to the print substrate.
  • the registration is therefore also to a large extent in this area of overlap between two printed pages guaranteed and any mutual interference is compensated.
  • the at least one controller is designed such that it at a Register correction due to a change in the toner profile the retroactive influence the toner profile of the previous one but still in the printing process Print pages on the register of the new print page already in the printing process considered.
  • the influencing variables of the toner profiles can be taken into account on the basis of stored Empirical values, through manual input, through the evaluation of digital image data or by automatically recording the toner profiles.
  • the device can be provided with at least one memory is the stored empirical values of influencing variables of different toner profiles contains, the at least one controller based on these empirical values controls the creation and assembly of the part color images.
  • Another alternative is to provide a press control is the stored data from printed pages or the data from several print jobs contains and the consideration of the influencing variables of different toner profiles based on this data.
  • a device for automatic recording of the Influencing variables of different toner profiles are possible.
  • An expedient embodiment of the method provides that the influencing variables different toner profiles according to the extent of the surface coverage of the Total image area by which partial color images are determined. That way it is not necessary to measure the influencing variables again for each printed page, but it is sufficient to measure the area coverage of the entire image area for each partial color image to determine and from this data the influencing variables for all printing units either to calculate or to determine from a prepared tabular file.
  • the invention has the purpose of correcting an intended one To serve register regulation.
  • the latter can be designed such that it is on the detection is based on register marks, which are printed by the individual printing units become.
  • the invention provides that this correction takes place before a Changing the toner profile can affect the register marks.
  • the device must then be designed in such a way that the at least one controller is designed in this way is that it registers by means of detection of register marks which of printed in the individual printing units and detected by a register sensor and the influencing variables of the toner profiles are taken into account as correction factors, the Correction is made before a change in the toner profile affects the register can.
  • the invention can also be used to correct a register regulation based on the detection of the positions of the part-color image and substrate-carrying elements.
  • the at least one controller is designed so that it registers by detecting the positions of the Part color image and substrate-carrying elements through position detection elements regulates and takes into account the influencing variables of the toner profiles as correction factors.
  • the position detection elements can be, for example, rotary angle sensors act.
  • influencing variables that influence the Registers are taken into account when setting the register. It can be for example, paper types, paper thicknesses or other influencing factors. With regard to the device, at least one controller must then be provided is designed to take these other influencing factors into account.
