Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for changing the relative humidity of a printing material by means of a drying unit which comprises a number of drying elements which are arranged transversely to the transport direction of the printing material and are directed towards the printing material in order to dry it with a drying intensity in each case, the drying elements can be controlled individually and a moistening device that includes a number of moistening elements that are arranged transversely to the transport direction of the printing material and are directed towards the printing material in order to moisten it with a quantity of moisture, it being possible for the moistening elements to be controlled individually.
  • the moisture can affect both the printing process and the downstream post-processing.
  • post-processing for example, this leads to the problem that the paper either behaves extremely differently in terms of electrostatics or is very wavy.
  • it can also be a problem that, due to the sometimes high moisture content of the paper, no electrostatics are used, for example to block sheets or signatures lying on top of one another, since the electrostatics are dissipated with higher printing material density.
  • drying units are therefore used in the prior art, which dry the printing material by means of heating elements.
  • WO 2014/046665 discloses, for example, such a drying unit for a web of printing material.
  • a number of drying elements are provided, which are positioned transversely to the web of printing material.
  • Each of these drying elements includes a heating element to heat up the ambient air and a fan that directs the warm air in the direction of the web of printing material.
  • the printing material web which is guided past the drying unit, itself or the ink can be dried.
  • sensors are provided in the drying elements that measure the air temperature. This data is used to set the speed of the individual drying elements in such a way that an even temperature distribution and thus drying is made possible.
  • Such a device cannot prevent the printing material web or the print from having an uneven moisture distribution even after drying.
  • it can also occur with the publication WO 2014/046665 continue to come to areas that exceed a limit moisture and in contrast to other areas that are too dry and thus also affect the properties of the printing material web.
  • Such a device means that if the humidity is not the same, the areas of high humidity can be dried, but at the same time the areas with less or normal humidity (approx. 2% to 5% relative humidity) all the more strongly due to the lack of solvent/water application be dried out, so that the residual moisture content of the paper drops to below 2% relative humidity, for example.
  • such dry paper also has unfavorable mechanical properties, since it is very brittle and stiff, and is therefore also difficult to process.
  • the invention is therefore particularly based on the document U.S. 2014/366760 A1
  • the object is to specify a method for changing the relative humidity of a printing material of the type mentioned above, which enables a particularly uniform drying of the printing material web or the print in the simplest possible way, so that an optimal and for the printing material web and further processing uniform degree of drying with a desired residual moisture is achieved.
  • At least two drying elements are controlled in such a way that at least two areas transverse to the transport direction of the printing material are subjected to a different drying intensity and at least two moistening elements are controlled in such a way that at least two areas transverse to the transport direction of the printing material are subjected to a different amount of moisture be applied.
  • the invention is based on the idea that the entry of solvents/water depends on the paint application. Since the ink is not applied evenly either, the moisture is not evenly distributed on the printing material, but changes both in the direction of the printing material and transversely to it and is usually inhomogeneous in both directions. It was recognized that for the same drying time, the areas of high moisture must be dried more than the areas of lower moisture and the areas of lower moisture must be moistened to a correspondingly greater extent before or after drying. For this reason, the several drying elements or moistening elements arranged transversely to the direction of the printing material are adjusted in such a way that the drying intensity, ie the temperature provided for drying, or moistening intensity, ie the amount of moisture, varies. At least two areas or zones are provided transversely to the direction of the printing material, which are subjected to different drying or moistening intensities.
  • the drying elements or the moistening elements are controlled on the basis of measured data from a sensor unit for optimum drying of the printing material or for the residual moisture content of the printing material to be as constant as possible.
  • the relative humidity of the printing material is determined.
  • the sensor unit can also consist of a number of sensor elements that are arranged transversely to the transport direction of the printing material. The sensor elements measure the relative humidity of a single area of the printing material. Based on the measurement data of each individual area, a control unit can then control the drying or moistening element assigned to this area and determine the optimal drying intensity or amount of moisture, so that the printing material web then has a substantially constant distribution of relative moisture transversely to the transport direction.
  • the waviness of the web can also be detected and the humidity can be indirectly determined from it. Since the solvent/water entry in the inkjet process depends on the subject, the areas of high moisture are to be equated with areas of high ink coverage. Thus, optical sensors can also be used as sensor elements for detecting the locations with different color assignments.
  • the areas of high moisture can also be generated from the print data or prepress data, since areas with high ink coverage have a high moisture application, areas with a medium ink coverage have a medium moisture application and areas with a low ink coverage have a lower moisture application etc. correspond.
  • the drying elements or the moistening elements are controlled on the basis of stored or input print data or preliminary stage data. In this case, the printing material speed and the path of the printing material can also be taken into account in order to achieve optimally timed control of the drying elements or moistening elements.
  • the drying elements or moistening elements are also controlled in such a way that at least two areas in the transport direction of the printing material are subjected to a different drying intensity or amount of moisture.
  • the advantages achieved with the invention are in particular that the different drying or moistening of individual areas transverse to or in the transport direction of the printing material, the inhomogeneous relative humidity of the printing material can be compensated during the printing process. This achieves an essentially uniform and constant distribution of the relative humidity. Individual control of the drying and moistening elements can also achieve a desired residual moisture level in the printing material that is optimal for further processing.
  • a drying unit 1 for a web of printing material is shown, which reduces the relative humidity of the web of printing material 2 to a desired, adjustable value.
  • the drying unit 1 is specifically designed so that the relative humidity of the printing material web 2 has a substantially constant value after the printing material web 2 has passed through the drying unit 1 and over the width B of the printing material web 2 .
  • the drying unit 1 after figure 1 a sensor unit 6 in the form of a sensor bar, the measuring range of which extends over the entire width B of the printing material web 2 and measures the relative humidity or another measured variable from which the relative humidity of the printing material web 2 can be determined directly or indirectly.
  • the sensor unit 6 according to the embodiment of Figure 1 and Figure 2 comprises a multiplicity of sensor elements 8 arranged next to one another, which each measure a defined section of the printing material web 2 .
  • the sensor unit 6 can also include a single sensor element 8 or a number of sensor elements 8 which are/are arranged to traverse transversely to the transport direction x of the printing material web 2 .
  • the sensor unit 6 is connected to an evaluation unit 10 via a data line 12, via which the measurement data of the sensor elements 8 are sent to the evaluation unit 10 and, if required, control commands can also be sent from the evaluation unit 10 or a control module (not shown) to the sensor unit 6 .
  • evaluation unit 10 creates a profile of the relative humidity of printing material web 2 over width B of printing material web 2 and uses these values to determine an optimal setting for drying bar 4 in order to achieve the desired relative residual moisture content of printing material web B.
  • the drying bar 4 also includes a number of drying elements 14 which are arranged next to one another and essentially over the entire width B of the printing material web 2 and are designed in such a way that they reduce the relative humidity of the printing material web 2 in a respectively assigned area.
  • Each of these drying elements 12 can be controlled individually and the drying intensity can be adjusted individually, so that the desired target profile of the relative humidity can be optimally achieved from the determined actual profile of the relative humidity of the printing material web 2 by controlling the drying elements 12.
  • the drying bar is also connected on the data side via a data line 16 to the evaluation unit 10 or to a control module of the evaluation unit 10 (not shown) in order to transmit control commands to the individual drying elements 12.
  • the drying unit 1 can also include a moistening bar 18 .
  • a moistening bar 18 Such a design of the drying unit 1 is in figure 2 shown.
  • the moistening bar 18 also includes a number of moistening elements 20 next to one another, which are arranged essentially over the entire width B of the printing substrate web 2 and can moisten the printing substrate web 2 in a respectively assigned area, so that the relative humidity of the printing substrate web 2 is increased.
  • This moistening unit 18 is also connected on the data side to the evaluation unit 10 via a data line 22 so that control signals can be transmitted from the evaluation unit 10 or a control module of the evaluation unit (not shown) to the moistening bar 18 .
  • a drying bar 24 is provided in the transport direction x of the printing material web B after the moistening bar 18 or alternatively, not shown, before the moistening bar 18 in order to reduce the relative humidity of the printing material web to the desired target value.
  • This drying strip 24 can also be used as in figure 1 shown include a number of individually controllable drying elements 14.
  • a single drying element 14 can also be used, which extends over the width B of the printing material web 2.
  • the drying bar 24 it is also connected to the evaluation unit 10 on the data side via a data line 26 .
