Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a visual inspection device for exposed Printing plates for printing machines, which are in the form of exposing the printing plate at least one control mark is applied to the printing plate.
  • the printing process is basically divided into prepress, printing press and Print finishing.
  • the goal of every printing process is to print products produce, which correspond as exactly as possible to a print template.
  • the artwork can once be present as a template print, but it can also be digital as an image file available.
  • a print template as image file is digitally in the prepress by means of a Raster image processor prepared for printing, so that the data available afterwards are suitable for exposure of a printing plate for offset printing machines.
  • Next to the actual print image on the plate also different markings and control areas applied, which are in the edge regions of the printing plate are located and z.
  • B. Tonwertkeile on printing plates in non-printing areas as well Include print control strips and register marks in printing areas.
  • the printing staff must ensure that the finished printed product, too corresponds to the original. If deviations occur, the printing process must be corrected be, d. H. it must be the settings in the prepress and / or at the Printing machine to be changed. When the print quality of the finished printed product is not sufficient, this print product must be sorted out as waste, which due to the additional cost is not desirable. For that reason, that would like Operating staff in printing shops as early as possible in the entire printing process also possible Can detect process deviations from the settings made. Such Process deviations can already occur when processing the data in the print template the prepress arise, which is why printing plates control devices in the form of Have tonal wedges. Such a control device as in Fig.
  • 1 is in itself from the Known in the art, here in a first elongated strip the Sample tonal values in a fixed raster, e.g. 200 lines / inch at an angle of 45 ° offset obliquely from the printing plate leading edge in a range of 1 to 100% are shown, while in a parallel thereto extending second strip the Tone values after process calibration in the RIP (Raster Image Processor) of the pre-press are applied.
  • the template tonal values are unaffected by the RIP and set one Reference dar. Based on the respectively associated superimposed tones for certain percentages is a comparison for the printing staff by visual Assessment possible and the deviations can be grossly quantitative in the context of Percentage scale provided.
  • claims 1, 6 and 11 Further advantageous embodiments are the dependent claims and the Drawings to take.
  • claims 1 and 6 is in the exposure a printing plate in the prepress next to the printed image and a control mark applied to the printing plate especially in the non-printing area, which consists of two largely parallel strips.
  • Claim 1 represents a strip an uncalibrated Tonwertverlauf to a certain Halftone around increases, d. H. the tonal values of this strip are in the uninfluenced state, while the second strip by the calibration in the RIP changed particular raster tone value shows.
  • the control mark in the first shows Strip a section of the uncalibrated Tonwertverlauf in Fig.
  • the section should be chosen so that an overlap area the two stripes is visible. Under the overlap is the tone to understand at the parallel stripes show optically the same tone value, i. of the continuous tone value of the second strip of a tone level of the first strip like.
  • the strips are preferably shown in a gray value representation, what in the overlap case means that the superimposed tones the same gray value show. If the overlap value is not exactly below the Zero mark, so there is a deviation in the exposure between the unaffected reference values and calibrated in the manufacture of the printing plate Values. If this deviation does not match the one set by the staff or wanted Deviation agrees, so the exposure process must be changed. The great The advantage of the visual assessment on the printing plate is above all that not only waste in the printing press must occur, but that on the Pressure plate unwanted deviations can be detected and the pressure plate optionally replaced with an improved before the printing process in the Printing machine is started.
  • the uncalibrated Tonwertverlauf increases or decreases gradually in its tonal values.
  • To be exact Assessment by the printing staff to enable the Tonwertverlauf is graded executed, because then in the comparison of the uncalibrated Tonwertverlaufs also smallest deviations are clearly visible and so the overlap value visually reliably detected in a relatively small area with little variation can.
  • the steps are sufficiently fine but not too finely chosen, so that they visually are still perceptible, but also show slight deviations, which no longer are tolerable.
  • the particular halftone tone value be the 50% tone value.
  • the 50% raster tone value plays a role in the visual assessment of printed matter important role, because at this raster tone value the greatest dynamics in the manufacturing process of printing plates and throughout the printing process occurs. That is why it is for that Printing staff particularly important, deviations in the range of the 50% -ton value to be able to recognize. Therefore, the control device increases the area around the 50% value, so that the printing staff can assess this accurately.
  • the reference tone values which are unaffected by the printing process, are graduated in an oblong strip increase or decrease that particular raster tone value within the same strip is shown multiple times finely resolved and that the particular raster tone value within of the same strip is bounded by polygons.
  • a control device always refers to a specific raster tone value such. B. the 50% value.
  • the operator seeks the area the control device, in which the unimpeachable reference tones of the background in the strip and the constant finely resolved raster tone values of the ones in it Polygons match. Due to the polygonal design can also be still visually assess small deviations in the tonal values.
  • the polygons essentially by a diamond shape be wrapped.
  • the polygons can also have right-angled corners.
  • Tonwertskala with numerically specified tone changes.
  • This tonal scale allows a quantitative assessment of the deviation of the two tone gradients to each other.
  • the numerically specified tone changes range from Minus 5 to Plus 5. This is a sufficiently large range, which the Tonwerttechnischheit at the point of intersection.
  • a visual control device provided on exposed printing plates for printing machines, in which in at least a first elongated strip the entire Tonwertverlauf as Reference values are plotted that in at least one of them are largely parallel extending second strip the entire tone value curve is calibrated and applied that in at least a third substantially parallel elongated strip a linearized Tonwertverlauf is applied.
  • FIG. 1 known comparisons of uninfluenced and uncalibrated Reference values and the exposure with process calibration shows this embodiment of the Invention over the entire tonal range of 1 to 100% in addition to one linearized tone progression.
  • Particularly advantageous embodiments of the invention result from the fact that a Pressure plate has several or all control marks according to the invention.
  • the manufacturing process of printing plates is comprehensively covered by the Operator controllable.
  • a conventional control mark 1 is shown, which after the Exposure of a printing plate 5 in the prepress on the same can be seen.
  • These Control mark 1 is also called a Tonwertkeil and serves to control the Process calibration in the prepress stage over the entire tonal value from 1 to 100 %.
  • the tonal values are shown in gray scale, the upper strip 11 the Reference tones are unaffected by precursor processes, while the lower ones are parallel stripes calibrated tonal values 12 shows.
  • a tone scale 10 is provided which indicates the tone values in percentages.
  • There are the tonal values range from 10% to 90% in 10% increments, while the Values in the range of 1% to 10% and the values in the range of 90% to 100% are drawn apart, visually to the lesser optical differences there anyway to make recognizable.
  • a modified control mark 4 is shown, which differs from the Control mark 1 in Fig. 1 by an additional strip 41 with linearized Tones makes a difference.
  • the tonal scale 10 ranges from 1 to 100%, which it not only allows for changes made by the process calibration of the Precursor are to recognize in comparison to the reference tone 11, but also additional changes in the linearized range by comparing linearized tone values 41 and reference tone values 11 can be visually recognized.
  • linearized tone values 41 and reference tone values 11 can be visually recognized.
  • some Printing plates is made in the exposure of such linearization, it is for This case also requires these linearized tonal values 41 in comparison to the To be able to judge original values 11, what the control mark 1 in Fig. 1 not allows.
  • control mark 2 is shown for a 50% -Rastertonzar, wherein after above and below a deviation of plus / minus 5 is shown, resulting in a Reference grid of 80 lines / centimeter per stage a deviation of about 0.7% from one 50% raster tone value means.
  • the influence can be so the exposure energy and chemical evolution, i. the overall effect of Manufacturing process and the resulting deviation of the finely resolved certain raster tonal value 23 of unaffected reference tone values 22 in a narrow Tolerance range purely visually, quantitatively assessed.
  • this field should be at the zero value of the tonal scale 21 because in this case an optimal pre-stage manufacturing process is becomes.
  • the black borders of the polygon surfaces in Fig. 3 are not in practice present, they are only attached to the recognizable on the drawing. In the Practice are the contrasts of the gray levels of the control mark 2 on the printing plate. 5 sufficient to the polygons of the finely resolved specific raster tone value 23 of the Background of indeterminable reference tone values 22.
  • the finely resolved specific raster tone values 23 are in Fig. 3 as diamond-shaped polygons represented, these polygons have right-angled steps, whereby they themselves Distinguish sharper from the therefore unimpeachable reference tone values 22.
  • the fine-resolution control mark 2 still has a measuring field 24 for the Measurement by means of a densitometer.
  • the measuring field 24 consists of a fixed defined grid area of the 50% value and has a circular inside Stain of a 100% full tone 25 on.
  • the solid surface 25 serves the density compensation of a Densitometer.
  • the control mark for checking the calibration 3 of FIG. 4 can be the differences between uncalibrated tone values 32 created by the calibration and recognize a particular raster tone value 33.
  • the range is for a 50% raster tone value plotted, with the uncalibrated tonal values 32 in an oblong Strip increasing from left to right and the determined raster value 33 in one parallel running strips are applied constantly.
  • the Tonwertverlauf 32 is stepped, e.g. in 1% increments from left to right increasingly so that too smallest differences can be recognized.
  • Parallel to the strips 32, 33 runs a Tone scale 31 with percentages plotted ranging from minus 15 to plus 3%.
  • intersection to search for where a grayscale of the uncalibrated tonal values 32 and the determined raster tone value 33 are the same. Is this intersection at Zero (none), so there is no difference in the particular raster tone value 33, that is the certain raster tone value 33 is uncalibrated. Is the point of intersection but z. At minus 7, this means a reduction of 7% downwards, d. H. was in the pre-press at the process calibration reduces the specific tone 33 from 50% to 43%. if the Reduction of 7% was intended and discontinued, the manufacturing process is so far in Order. But if another reduction or even an increase was intended, then so must the manufacturing process will be reviewed.
