Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for register control in a printing machine.
  • the US 6,167,806 describes a control device for controlling the printing of a material web in a rotary printing press from a control console.
  • the script explains that an operator of the press removes a printed product and places it on an analysis table to check for various attributes, such as the correct color, correct ink zone setting, and register accuracy.
  • Fig. 12 shows a schematic representation of a newspaper printing press 100 having two printing towers each having double-width plate cylinders and capable of printing a four-color newspaper 10 in an eight-page format.
  • the pages A1, A8 and A2, A7 are printed on a web 103 and the pages A3, A6 and A4, A5 on another web 102.
  • the webs 102, 103 are merged in a folder 110, folded and cut, so that finished newspapers 10 arise.
  • a double-width plate cylinder 120 may print an image for the pages A1, A8 in cyan, as shown in FIG Fig. 3 is shown.
  • the plate cylinder 122 can print an image in cyan for the pages A2, A7, while the plate cylinder 124 prints the cyan image for the pages A3 and A4 and the plate cylinder 126 prints the cyan image for the pages A5 and A6.
  • the colors magenta, yellow and black can be printed eg by the other printing units.
  • a further or alternative object of the present invention is to reduce erroneous double instructions in register correction in page mode.
  • An inventive method for controlling a printing press with a first image cylinder which applies at least a first image of the first cylinder and a second image of the first cylinder to a substrate, and a second image cylinder, the at least a first image of the second cylinder and a second image of the second cylinder is applied to the substrate, provides that a book is printed with individual pages that carry the first image of the first cylinder, the second image of the first cylinder, the first image of the second cylinder and the second image of the second cylinder a first mode is provided which allows an operator of the printing press to simultaneously check the pages of the book with the first image of the first cylinder and the second image of the first cylinder, the register settings of the first image of the first cylinder and the second image to change the first cylinder providing the first image cylinder and wherein the first mode of operation also enables an operator to simultaneously check the pages with the first image of the second cylinder and the second image of the second cylinder and the register settings of the second image providing the first image of the second cylinder and the second image of
  • a book mode By providing a first mode of operation, referred to herein as a book mode, the operator can browse through the sheets of a sheet and make register settings for the sheet. For example, in the case of the in Fig. 1 On the eight-page book shown, place the sheet bearing the two sides A1: A8 on the analysis table, change the register setting for the cylinder 120 printing the two sides A1: A8, set this sheet aside, lay the two pages A3: A6 bearing sheets on the analysis table and the Change tab settings of cylinder 124.
  • the operator can turn over the sheet with pages A3: A6 to change the register settings for pages A4: A5 over cylinder 126, and finally pick up the sheet with pictures A1: A8 and turn it around the pages A2: A7 to check register accuracy of the cylinder 122.
  • the operator could first flip over the page A1: A8 pages to check pages A2: A7 and then discard that page before turning to page A3: A6 pages.
  • the operator of the printing machine can take more strigexemplare.
  • page mode the operator can switch to the second mode, referred to herein as page mode, and use another book test copy to go through pages A1 through A8 in a conventional manner and the ink zones and ink boxes, the wet zones and change all other properties to correct the page image.
  • the present invention advantageously allows the operator to correct the registration of a plate cylinder carrying a plurality of printing plates by inspecting the images simultaneously printed by the same plate cylinder. This reduces the confusion caused by the operator having to make the tab setting for the pages in page mode.
  • the book mode preferably appears before the page mode.
  • the sheet lying on the analysis table in book mode is preferably automatically identified and assigned to a specific image cylinder.
  • the printing machine preferably includes additional image cylinders carrying a plurality of images, the book mode also allowing register correction for sheets printed by the additional image cylinders and the page mode allowing for correction of the individual pages.
  • a printing press comprises a first image cylinder, which applies at least a first image of the first image cylinder and a second image of the first cylinder to a printing substrate, and a second image cylinder, the at least a first image of the second cylinder and a second image of the second cylinder on the substrate imprinted, as well as a control unit for controlling the printing press.
  • the control unit comprises a first operating mode, which allows simultaneous checking of the pages of the book with the first image of the first cylinder and the second image of the first cylinder.
  • a register unit for changing the register setting of the first image cylinder carrying the first image of the first cylinder and the second image of the first cylinder can be controlled in dependence on an operator input in the first operating mode.
  • the first mode also allows an operator to simultaneously check the pages with the first image of the second cylinder and the second image of the second cylinder to register the registration of the second image cylinder carrying the first image of the second cylinder and the second image of the second cylinder change.
  • the control unit also has another, second mode of operation in which the operator can change the characteristics of each page of the book.
  • the control unit preferably includes an analysis table that receives the pages of a printed book and a scanner unit that scans the pages of the book. In book mode, the control unit can identify the scanned pages and associate them with one of the image cylinders. The control unit may e.g. Save the images on the single image cylinder and compare the images scanned in book mode on the analysis table with the stored images. Subsequently, the control unit may identify the corresponding register setting unit to which register setting commands should be sent.
  • the control unit may accept inputs to a user interface indicating the current operating mode, the user interface allowing the operator to select the book or page modes.
  • the printing press may comprise for each image cylinder in each case one page register setting device, which makes common register settings for at least two pictures.
  • the images on the image cylinder carrying a plurality of images are preferably not individually registerable.
  • the printing machine is preferably designed as a web offset printing press.
  • the image cylinders are preferably plate cylinders.
  • image cylinder refers to any type of cylinder that provides an image, e.g. a plate cylinder.
  • Fig. 4 shows a preferred offset printing machine 6 with a first printing tower 30 for printing on a web 20 and a second printing tower 32 for printing a web 22.
  • Each printing tower 30, 32 may include four double printing units, for example, the colors magenta, cyan, yellow and black print.
  • two printing towers 30, 32 are described here for better understanding of the register setting, a single four-width printing press could also be used to produce similar printed products where two of the images have a common register setting and a slitter is present in the folder.
  • a double printing unit 40 includes e.g. a first double-width plate cylinder 42, a first blanket cylinder 44, a second blanket cylinder 46 and a second double-width plate cylinder 48.
  • Each plate cylinder 42, 48 is registerable by means of a register actuator 52 and 58 in the circumferential and axial directions. The two images on the plates are not individually registerable as the register actuator moves the entire plate cylinder.
  • an inking unit 82 and a dampening unit are provided for each plate cylinder.
  • the printed webs 30, 32 pass through a folder 50, which merges the webs, cuts and folds into books 51, e.g. to eight-page books in broadsheet format.
  • the folder 50 may also produce other book configurations, and more webs from other printing units may be fed into the folder 50 and cut lengthwise.
  • An operator 70 may receive the printed books 51 and place a proof copy of the book 51 on an analysis table 62 of a control unit 60.
  • the operator 70 may select a book mode of the control unit 60 using a control panel 66 or a touch screen or graphical user interface 64.
