Definitions
- the invention relates to the imaging of a printing form in an offset printing machine, preferably wet offset, and for this purpose has a method and a device for the subject. Furthermore, it relates to an imaged offset printing form and an offset printing form in a not yet illustrated raw state.
- the printing press may in particular be a rotary printing press, preferably for web-fed printing. A preferred application is newspaper printing.
- the machine preferably operates in the coldset, i. the paint is dried by air drying without heating.
- the printing form can be erased by means of IR irradiation, with the temperature in the near-surface region of the printing form briefly reaching approximately 500 ° C.
- the problem with the reversibly switchable printing forms are their still short life, so that larger runs can not be printed with the printing plates.
- a flowable, preferably liquid, coating material is applied to a printing form having a hydrophobic surface in such a way that it wets the printing surface of the printing plate everywhere.
- the coating material is hardened on the entire surface and forms a hydrophilic surface of the printing plate in the hardened state.
- the hardened coating material is removed according to the image by means of irradiation, so that the hydrophobic surface of the printing form which lies beneath the coating material is exposed in accordance with the image.
- a printing plate is obtained which has a color-transferring surface in printing operation, which is composed of a printed image to be transferred from the hydrophilic surface sites formed by the coating material and the exposed hydrophobic surface areas.
- the material of the printing plate which is generally more resistant to abrasion than the coating material, the color, while the hardened coating material remains free or as preferred the dampening solution leads.
- the coating material contains hydrophilic groups, preferably amino groups, carboxyl groups, silane groups or other Cruppe-IV compounds or a combination of several or all of these groups or compounds.
- the coating material may in particular be a lacquer. Paints which are sufficiently hard and stable in the hardened state for the printing operation and form a hydrophilic surface for offset printing are used, for example, as photoinitiators.
- the coating material can be completely removed by means of a radiation corresponding to the imaging and the printing form can be reimaged in the same way.
- the method therefore includes, in an advantageous further development, erasing the printed image and re-imaging the printing form.
- an aqueous coating material is used, ie a coating material with water as solvent.
- the radiation energy of the image-wise radiation preferably originates from a different wavelength range of the electromagnetic spectrum than the radiation energy serving for hardening. Furthermore, it is advantageous if the irradiation for curing over the surface is uniform, while the imagewise irradiation of the fineness of the print is correspondingly focused, so that each individual pixel of the print image to be generated can be selectively irradiated individually.
- the radiation energy used for hardening can also be selected from the same wavelength range as the radiation energy of the image-wise irradiation. The radiation may in both cases even have the same wavelength.
- the same irradiation device can serve for both curing and image-wise irradiation, with at least one radiation parameter of the irradiation device being variable in order to fulfill the dual function.
- the irradiation apparatus can be used by focusing for imagewise irradiation and defocusing for curing.
- the power of the irradiation device can also be adjusted to the respective purpose. Another possibility is the variation of the speed with which the printing form moves once upon curing and the other time as the image is irradiated relative to the irradiation device.
- the printing plate can be thermally irradiated. More preferably, however, it is irradiated with UV or IR light. Accordingly, in preferred embodiments, a lacquer hardening under UV or IR irradiation is used. Since the light in the vicinity of the printing plate, as far as light is present, is not sufficient for the desirable rapid hardening, although in principle a hardening under ambient light is conceivable and also advantageously used, the irradiation is expediently carried out with artificial UV or IR light. which is generated by a UV or IR irradiation device and directed to the printing plate. For the UV radiation, the entire UV wavelength range of 250 to 400 nm comes into question. Preferably, UV radiation from the wavelength range of 350 to 380 nm is used.
- the coating material is preferably applied in a thickness which is smaller than a maximum length or largest width of an image pixel of the imaged printing plate executed printing process.
- the thickness of the application layer is preferably at most 10 ⁇ m.
- the thickness is preferably at least 1 ⁇ m.
- the coating material may alternatively or in addition to an active irradiation also by simple air drying, i. Heat exchange with the environment, to be dried at room temperature, in particular by convection.
- simple air drying can already be sufficient, especially for the above-described small layer thickness of the coating material alone for curing.
- the hardened application material is preferably removed by means of laser irradiation, for example IR laser radiation.
- the paint is thermally decomposed by this irradiation imagewise (thermal decomposition).
- the imagewise removal of the coating material immediately produces the printing form which can be used for printing.
- paint can be applied to the printing plate.
- the printing form is preferably a printing form for the wet offset printing
- moisture is applied beforehand in order to wet the hydrophilic areas formed by the coating material with the dampening solution, preferably water, before applying the paint.
- an aqueous coating material results as a further advantage for a preferred wet offset printing that not or not fully hardened residues of the coating material transported away by a dampening agent used in printing from the printing plate and transferred to the first copy copies and thus the printing form of such residues right at the beginning the pressure is cleaned.
- the coating material in fine distribution may contain particles that absorb the radiation energy of the imagewise radiation in a special way and thus ensure faster thermal decomposition at the irradiated points.
- the particles may be dark, preferably black, pigments or consist of one or more other materials which are tuned to the wavelength of the radiation in order to maximize absorption.
- the printing form at least in a depth region comprising the hydrophobic surface, consists of a material which absorbs a high proportion of the radiation energy of the second irradiation.
- the printing form may consist in particular of aluminum or preferably of stainless steel.
- the printing form without the coating material layer according to the invention is also referred to below as a printing plate carrier.
- the printing plate support made of steel or aluminum or in principle also of another material can be a thin, color-friendly, d. H. hydrophobic surface layer which forms the hydrophobic surface of the printing form.
- This surface layer may consist, for example, of nickel or copper or an alloy of one of these metals or a combination of such materials, or may contain such materials at least as an essential component.
- the surface layer may preferably be 1 to 100 .mu.m, preferably 1 to 10 .mu.m thick and be applied, for example, by electroplating.
- the coating material can be applied directly to the printing form, to be more precise the printing form carrier, for example by spraying. More preferably, the coating material is applied by means of a roller. The coating material can be sprayed onto this paint applicator roll or otherwise applied directly. Advantageously, it is applied by means of a further roller to the application roller forming a transfer nip with the printing forme. It is also advantageous if the coating material is conveyed to the printing form via an axially reciprocating distributor roller.
- the printing press can have an application device which only serves to apply the coating material. If it is preferably a wet offset printing press, the coating material is preferably applied by means of a fountain applicator which in printing operation promotes the fountain solution required for printing on the printing form.
- the dampening application device thus also forms a part of the application device for the coating material in a dual function.
- the one or more or a part of the plurality of dampening rollers can optionally serve either to apply the coating material or to apply the dampening solution by applying the coating material to the dampening roller or one of several dampening rollers and from this is transferred directly or first via one or more dampening rollers on the printing form.
- the coating material can be advantageously applied directly to a distributor roller of the dampening application device, for example sprayed on.
- the irradiation for curing can advantageously be a UV or IR irradiation, as already mentioned.
- the UV or IR radiation may, for example, be generated by one or more UV or IR emitters which extend or extend over the entire width of the surface of the printing form to be irradiated or are axially reciprocable, to be able to irradiate the entire surface.
- the UV or IR light is guided by means of optical waveguides from a UV or IR light source to the surface of the printing plate.
- the UV or IR source can supply multiple printing forms simultaneously or sequentially with UV or IR light. In embodiments with such a UV or IR source whose light is coupled centrally into the system of the optical waveguide and brought by them to the surface of the printing plates and emitted to the respective surface.
- the surface can be pretreated, for example by means of uniform UV irradiation, which can be carried out by means of a further irradiation device or advantageously by means of the irradiation device for curing.
- a primer may be applied to the hydrophobic surface onto which the coating material is then applied.
- the imaged printing form is erased by completely removing the imagewise remaining coating material in the printing press by thermal decomposition from the hydrophobic surface.
- the same irradiation device that previously performs the imaging can be used for the erasure. Upon erasing, this irradiation device can uniformly irradiate the printing plate.
- a radiation corresponding to the negative print image is conceivable, in which case only the hydrophilic spots of the printing form formed by the paint are selectively irradiated, preferably with an enlarged edge area.
- the printing press is equipped with a cleaning device with which the printing form can be cleaned after erasing.
- a cleaning device for example, a washing device in question, by means of which paint residues can be washed off.
- irradiation devices for curing and for imagewise irradiation, different irradiation devices can be provided, ie an irradiation device for curing and a further irradiation device for imagewise irradiation.

- the invention also provides the imaged printing form as such and also a printing form blank with the hardened coating material, preferably paint, which covers the surface serving for printing everywhere.
- a printing form blank simplifies the printing form logistics, since the unimpressed blanks not exactly each place must be assigned in the printing press, but the blanks can be distributed randomly on the printing stations of the printing press.
- An application device for the coating material is not required when using such blanks.
- the invention also relates to a device for imaging a printing form in an offset printing press, which is suitable for carrying out the method and accordingly has an application device for the coating material.
