Definitions
- the invention relates to a measuring element for measuring a color register. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for color register control and color register measurement.
- a substrate such as e.g. a printing sheet, successively moved by a plurality of successively arranged printing units, preferably in each of the printing units, a partial printing image is applied in a special ink on the substrate.
- the substrate is preferably moved through four successive arranged printing units, wherein in each of the printing units, a partial printing image in the printing inks cyan, magenta, yellow and black is applied to the substrate.
- a printing press has a so-called color register control.
- a color register controller comprises a circumferential register adjusting means for compensating a circumferential displacement of the partial printing images, a side register adjusting means for compensating a displacement of the partial printing images in the axial direction of the printing cylinders, and a skew register adjusting means for compensating rotational misalignments of the partial printing images.
- the positional accuracy of the partial printing images on the substrate or the color register of the partial printing images must be detected by measurement, with this purpose serve measuring elements that are printed on the substrate.
- the present invention is based on the problem of creating a novel measuring element for measuring a color register and a novel method for color register control or color register measurement.
- the measuring element according to the invention comprises at least two partial measuring elements printed one above the other, each partial measuring element being produced with an individual printing unit, each partial measuring element having an at least one-dimensional pattern of repeating regions of different optical density or area coverage, and the overprint of these partial measuring elements interfering generated, which serves as a measure of the color register.
- the measuring element according to the invention for measuring a color register is composed of at least two partial measuring elements which are printed one above the other on the printing material.
- the partial measuring elements each have an at least one-dimensional pattern of repeating regions of different optical density or area coverage, the partial measuring elements having different frequencies with which these regions repeat themselves.
- the overprinting of such partial measuring elements results in an interference which serves as a measured variable for the positional accuracy of the partial pressure images which are applied to the printing material with the aid of the printing units involved in the combined printing of the measuring element.
- the main advantage of the measuring element according to the invention is that even then the accuracy of the color register or register can be determined with a high resolution if the camera used to detect the measuring element has only a low resolution.
- the measuring element according to the invention makes use of a vernier effect in order to increase the resolution of the camera used for scanning the measuring element.
- the color register control method of the present invention is as claimed in claim 14, and the method of color register measurement is defined in claim 15.

- the present invention relates to a measuring element for determining the positional accuracy of printed on a substrate superimposed partial print images, so for determining the accuracy of the color register or passers, wherein a case determined value for color register control can be used in that the actual value is compared with a target value and dependent on this comparison, manipulated variables for register adjustment devices are generated.
- FIG. 1 shows a measuring element 20, which is formed from two partial measuring elements printed one above the other.
- Each of the two sub-measuring elements is generated via an individual printing unit, wherein in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 3 each of the two sub-measuring elements has a one-dimensional pattern of repeating regions with different optical density or different area coverage.
- the frequency of the two partial measuring elements, with which the areas of different optical density or different area coverage repeat, is different, so that the overprinting of these two partial printed images results in an interference which serves as a measured variable for the color register or the register , 3 shows a partial measuring element 21 with a one-dimensional pattern of repetitive regions of different optical density or different surface coverage, these regions being a bar sequence having a specific frequency.
- FIG. 2 shows a measuring element 22, which is constructed analogously to the measuring element 20 of FIG. 1, but in which the increase of the optical density or area coverage generated by the interference is not in the center of the measuring element 22, but rather shifted to the left is.
- This serves as a measured variable for the fact that the partial printed images of the printing units which are involved in the printing of the measuring element 20 have a misalignment in the direction in which the one-dimensional pattern of the partial measuring elements of the measuring element 22 periodically repeats.
- the measuring elements 20 and 22 of FIGS. 1 and 2 comprise two sub-measuring elements printed one above the other, wherein a first sub-measuring element has a first one-dimensional pattern of frequency-repeating regions of different optical density or area coverage second sub-measuring element has a second one-dimensional pattern of frequency repeating regions with different optical density or different area coverage, and wherein the frequencies of the two one-dimensional patterns are different.
- the one-dimensional patterns are shown in FIG. 1 to bar sequences.
- the two frequencies of the two one-dimensional patterns are preferably determined as follows:
- the frequency fi of the first one-dimensional pattern of the first sub-measuring element is determined by the wavelength ⁇ i of the first pattern corresponding to the maximum deviation of the color register to be measured, the frequency fi of the first one-dimensional pattern corresponds to the reciprocal of the wavelength ⁇ i of the first one-dimensional pattern.
- the frequency fi of the first one-dimensional pattern the following applies:
- the frequency f 2 of the second one-dimensional pattern of the second Operamesselements is determined depending on the size of the measuring element, in such a way that the size of the measuring element of the wavelength ⁇ the interference of the two patterns, the frequency f
- the frequency f 2 of the second one-dimensional pattern the following applies:
- the positional accuracy of two partial printing images in one direction can be determined, namely in the direction in which the pattern of the one-dimensional partial measuring elements repeats periodically. Accordingly, with such a measuring element, depending on the direction in which the same is printed on a printing material, the positional accuracy of two partial printed images and thus two printing units can be detected either in the circumferential direction or in the axial direction of the printing cylinder. If the positional accuracy of these two partial printing images are to be recorded both in the circumferential direction and in the axial direction of the partial printed images, then two such measuring elements must be printed on the printing material, in different regions of the printing material in linearly independent directions. If, furthermore, a rotational misalignment of the partial printing images is to be detected, corresponding measuring elements must be printed on the printing material on opposite sides of a printing material.
- the frequency fi of the first one-dimensional pattern of the first partial measuring element and the frequency f2 of the second one-dimensional pattern of the second partial measuring element are constant over the size or extent of the partial measuring elements. It should be noted that these frequencies can also be variable seen over the size or extension of the Operamessele- elements. Thus, e.g. in the middle of the sub measuring element these frequencies should be dimensioned differently than at the edges of the sub measuring elements. In this case, the achievable resolution can be adapted to the size of the deviation to be measured, preferably such that the smaller the deviation to be measured, the greater the resolution.
- FIG. 4 shows a second exemplary embodiment of a measuring element 23 according to the invention, which is composed of the partial measuring elements 24 and 25 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.
- the two sub-measuring elements 24 and 25 according to FIGS. 5 and 6 again have a one-dimensional pattern of regions of different optical density or area coverage repeating an individual frequency, which are formed as bar sequences, whereby for better visual recognition of the accuracy of the Color register or passers some of the bars are extended, namely in the partial measuring element 24 of FIG. 5, the two middle bars and in the partial measuring element 25 of FIG. 6 of the middle bar.
- the middle bar of the partial measuring element 25 lies between the two middle bars of the partial measuring element 24 (see FIG. 4)
- the corresponding partial printed images lie in the direction in which the Periodically repeat the bars of the two partial measuring elements 24 and 25, exactly one above the other.
- FIGS. 7, 8 show measuring elements 26 and 27 according to the invention, each consisting of two sub-measuring elements printed one above the other, each of the sub-measuring elements having a two-dimensional pattern of regions of different optical density or area coverage repeating in two linearly independent directions.
- 9 shows such a partial measuring element 28, which is formed like a checkerboard and in a first direction a pattern of repeating regions with different optical density or different optical surface coverage and in a second, vertically extending direction also a pattern of regions with different having optical density or different area coverage.
- the frequencies in which the areas of different optical density or different area coverage repeat in the two directions of the partial measuring element 28 are the same. However, these frequencies can also vary in size.
- the size of the Operamesselements 28 in both directions the same size. Again, however, the size of the Detailmesselements 28 may differ from each other in both directions.
- the position of the interference in the measuring element in turn serves as a measure of the positional accuracy of the partial pressure images and thus as a measured variable for the color register or the register, wherein with a measuring element according to Fig. 7 and 8, the positional accuracy in two directions, namely in the circumferential direction and in the axial direction of the impression cylinder, can be determined simultaneously.
- the frequency with which the areas of different optical density or area coverage repeat in the linearly independent directions is the same. However, these frequencies can also be different in size.
- the two-dimensional patterns of the partial measuring elements to be printed on top of each other have different frequencies in both directions.
- the dimensioning of the frequencies in both directions for the two partial measuring elements can be carried out analogously to the procedure described in connection with the exemplary embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 3.
- FIGS. 10 and 11 show further exemplary embodiments of measuring elements according to the invention which consist of two partial measuring elements printed one above the other with a two-dimensional pattern of repeating regions of different optical density or area coverage, FIG. 12 showing such a partial measuring element 31.
- the partial measuring element 31 of FIG. 12 has, just like the partial measuring element 28 of FIG. 9, regions of different optical density or different area coverage which repeats in two linearly independent directions, so that, in order to avoid unnecessary repetitions, the statements relating to FIGS. 7 to 9 can be referenced. If two sub-measuring elements according to FIG.
- a density distribution for the measuring elements For the purposes of the invention, it is possible to detect a density distribution for the measuring elements. Such a density distribution consists of discrete values. An interpolation can be used to determine an at least one-dimensional function of the density distribution, from which the position of the interference can be calculated.
