CELLULAR PRINTING PLATE AND METHOD OF PRINTING Filed May 21, 1947 F1611 PRIOR ART INVENTOR -%m W ATTORNEY ('7' AGENT Patented Feb. 27. 1951 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE CELLULAR PRINTING PLATE AND METHOD OF PRINTING Application May 21, 1947, Serial No. 749,445
7 Claims.
This invention relates to an improved form of the so-called Glassey block as described by C. Q. Glassey in patent application Serial Number 745,- 019, filed April 30, 1947. It also relates to an improved method of printing with such blocks.
The object of the present invention is to provide greater speed of operation and a somewhat simpler method of using the Glassey block.
According to Glassey, a cellular printing plate having ink-containing cells each with a narrow opening to the printing surface of the plate is illuminated from the rear with a radiant energy image which heats the contents of the cells differentially and expels ink through the narrow openings and on to a surface to be printed. The speed of operation depends on several factors including the rate of expansion of the contents of the cells as the temperature rises. One essential feature of a printing plate according to the present invention, is the use of a plastic material having a high coefiicient of thermal expansion to fill the major portion of each cell, the rest of the cell being filled with the printing ink to be expelled through the orifices. For the sake of definiteness, it is pointed out that little advan tage is gained unless the plastic material has a coeflicient of expansion at least twice that of the printing fluid which it replaces in the cell. White paraffin wax has a coefficient of linear expansion of about .0015 which is a cubicle coefficient of about .005, which is approximately 5 times that of ethanol.
A second important feature is the incorporation of a heat absorbing constituent in the plastic material to accelerate the conversion of radiant energy into expansion of the plastic mass.
Since the ink in each cell must be in that portion of the cell adjacent to the printing orifice and since it is desirable to have the plastic material fill as much of the rest of the cell as possible, it is not convenient to remove the wax during each printing cycle. The wax is placed in the cells preferably through relatively large rear openings which are then sealed more or less permanently by a layer of transparent material across the back of the cellular sheet. The printing plate comprises both the cellular sheet and the closure layer in this case. Also the re-inking of the cells must now be done from the front and this constitutes one novel step in the new manner of using cellular printing plates according to the present invention. As or after the plate is inked, it must be brought to a substantially uniform initial temperature and the front surface wiped with a doctor blade to remove excess According to a preferred embodiment of the invention the temperature control and the inking step are provided simultaneously by flowing a cooled ink across the front surface which ink is drawn into the cells as the contents thereof cool. It is noted that this manner of inking the plates is useful whether or not the cells contain anything in addition to the printing ink. One particular advantage of inking from the front is the fact that since no ink normally reaches the rear surface of the printing plate, the negative to be contact printed thereby may be laid directly on the rear surface. The most convenient arrangement for flowing ink across the printing plate is that in which the printing is upward, but this is not absolutely essential since methods of applying cool ink to the lower surface of a printing plate are obvious.
Another novel feature which is particularly useful in the above described method of printing but which is also applicable to all cellular printing plate systems consists of restricting the illumination of the rear surface of the plate to only part of the surface at one time and covering the whole surface by a sweeping action of the illumination. For example, in contact printing the negative is laid on or close to the rear surface of the plate and a highly intense line of light sweeps across the negative or a highly intense spot of light scans the negative, sweeping back and forth until the whole area is covered. This permits the use of much higher intensity of illumination than might otherwise be obtainable. The sweeping by a line of light may be accomplished in a press in which the paper moves forward substantially continuously, the line of light being held stationary relative to the press.
The operation of the invention and the advantages thereof will be fully understood from the following description when read in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 illustrates one form of a cellular printing plate according to the teachings of Glassey.
Fig. 2 illustrates a similar plate modified according to the present invention.
Figs. 3 and 4 illustrate alternative methods of making the plate shown in Fig. 2.
Figs. 5, 6 and 7 constitute a flow chart of a printing cycle accordingto a preferred embodiment of the invention.
Figs. 5A, 6A and 7A are respectively greatly enlarged drawings of a single cell during each of the steps illustrated.
Fig. 8 illustrates the essential features of a preferred method of printing according to the invention. 1
In Fig. l a cellular printing plate In having ink filled cells I with narrow openings H to the printing surface of the plate and a transparent layer |2 closing the rear of the cells II, is illuminated as indicated by arrows |3 with a radiant energy image which differentially heats the contents of the cells and expels ink through the openings H on to a sheet of paper or other surface to be printed. ACCOIUlIlg to the present invention as illustrated in Fig. 2 the rate of expelling the ink is speeded up by filling the major portion of each cell with white paraflln wax I5 containing carbon black or a finely divided metal such as copper, silver, iron. nickel, etc., which accelerates the heat absorption. Elastomeric Vinylite may also be used as the propellant material. The printing fluid l6 preferably occupies only a small portion of the cell, but of course this portion must be adjacent to the orifice M.
As shown in Fig. 3 the cellular layer In may be coated with a thin layer of wax or other propellant plastic 20 which is then rolled into the cells by a roller 2|. Alternatively, as illustrated in Fig. 4, the wax may be applied in a slightly warm condition so that it settles into the cells but not quite to the bottom and then the excess wax 22 may be scraped away by a suitable scraper 23. In either case the cellular layer I is then laminated more or less permanently to a transparent layer l2 as shown in Fig, 2 and the inking of the cells in all subsequent operations is done from the front through orifices I4.
After each printing step the plate is preferably brought to a uniform temperature when re-inked and the front surface wiped free of excess ink before the next printing step. According to a preferred feature of the present invention, this is all accomplished as illustrated in Figs. to 7A in a relatively simple manner. In Figs. 5 and 5A a cellular printing plate 25 is supported in a frame 26, and in this case each cell contains a wax propellant 2! which has just been expanded by the immediately previous printing operation. For example, in the shadows the temperature of the wax reached, say. 57 C. so that a large amount of ink has been driven from the orifice 28 of the cell. According to the invention the surface is then flooded with relatively cool ink 29 whose temperature is somewhat below 43 C. so that it cools the plate 25 and the wax 21 bringing the plate to a more or less uniform temperature of 43 C. and simultaneously inking the plate because the contraction of the wax 2'! draws the ink into the cells as indicated by arrows 30. If it were not for this drawing action as the contents of the cells contract, it would be considerably more difficult to ink the cells from the front. As shown in Fig. 6 the printing surface 3| of the plate is then wiped with a doctor blade 32 to remove the excess ink, leaving the ink level 33 even with the orifice 28 as shown in Fig. 6A.
A sheet of paper 35 is then laid on the printing surface 3| and held there by a partly resilient block 36 which insures good contact between the paper 35 and the surface 3|. A negative 31 is held in contact with the lower surface of the printing plate 25 and illuminated as indicated by arrows 38. This causes the wax 21 to expand forcing ink from the orifice 28 as indicated by the droplet 39 in Fig. 7A. This ink is printed onto the paper 35 to a density proportional to the heat absorbed by the cell.
Since it is not always convenient to illuminate a large area with sufficient intensity to print rapidly, one preferred embodiment of the invention uses a confined area of illumination and illuminates only part of the printing area at a time. Such an arrangement is shown in Fig, 3 wherein a light source 50 through a cylindrical lens 5| illuminates an aperture 52 in a table 53. The printing plate in its frame 26 is moved across the aperture 52 as indicated by arrow 54. Thus the whole surface of the printing plate is illuminated by a sweeping action. If the paper 35 is part of a long strip it may be arranged to pass over the roller holding it in contact with the printing plate only along a line opposite to the aperture 52. That is, the roller replaces the block 36. Such a scanning arrangement is applicable to all forms of printing which employ the Glassey cellular plate or modifications thereof.
It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the above described structures and processes, but is of the scope of the appended claims.
