The hygroscopic substance can be made from lithium chloride. 2,245,276 6/194l Hugentobler ..204/17 11 Claims, No Drawings BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to engraved printing plates for steel or copper plate engraving or printing machines, the engraved parts of which accept a coloring or inking material and the non-printing surface of which, spaced from the engraved part, repels the coloring material.
An engraved printing plate is known (French Pat. No. 1,564,653) which enables the usual wiping of the printing plates intended to remove the ink from the non-printing surfaces of the plate, to be eliminated.
However, these known special engraved printing plates, require that the non-printing areas of the plate must accept a wetting agent, while the printing areas, in the case of the engraved parts, accept the coloring or inking material. The printing plate, before being inked must be moistened by a wetting device in such a way that, when inked, only the engraved part accepts the ink while the wet areas spaced from the engraved parts are not inked.
In this way, an economy is made, since the usual wiping devices are omitted and only sufficient coloring or inking material is applied to the printing plate.
A process for the production of an engraved printing plate is known. This process is based on a plate having the desired engraved parts, preferably, incopper. These engraved parts are filled with a filling material repelling any metallic deposit. A
metallic layer for example chromium is deposited on the surface of the plate thus prepared, which accepts the wetting agent. Finally, the filling material of the engraved part is removed by means of a solvent, a chemical agent or mechanically.
It is also known to provide a layer of a second material repelling the ink and accepting the wetting agent which is deposited on the whole of the surface of an engraved printing plate on which the covering layer is of a material accepting the inking material. A second material is then provided which repels the inking material and accepts the wetting agent. Finally, the second material is removed from the engraved part.
AIMS OF THE PRESENT INVENTION An object of the present invention relates to the production of an engraved printing plate in which the non-engraved or non-printing surfaces spaced from the engraved part, repels a coloring or inking material without the necessity of constantly depositing a wet film on the surface of the plate during printing. In this way, the engraved printing process is simpler and more economical, since the device dispensing the wetting agent can be omitted.
According to one aspect of the present invention a method of treating an engraved printing plate for steel or copper plate printing, comprises the steps of coating the engraved part of the engraved printing plate with a layer of material which accepts a coloring or inking material, and coating the non-engraved part of the engraved printing plate with a layer of porous material impregnated with a hygroscopic substance, which layer of impregnated porous material repels the coloring or inking material.
According to a further aspect of the present invention an engraved printing plate for steel or copper plate printing machines, comprises an engraved part having a surface which accepts a coloring or inking material and a non-engraved part, spaced from the engraved part, having a surface which repels the coloring or inking material, the surface of the non-em graved part including a layer of porous material impregnated with a hygroscopic substance.
This porous material can consist of blackchrome, or be made from nickel phosphide or alumina, while lithium chloride can be used, as the hygroscopic substance. These layers of materials, .on The non-printing surface of the plate, can be formed at the same time, in particular by galvanic precipitation and, next, impregnation of the hydroscopic substance. Given that there is always a certain humidity in the environmental air, the hygroscopic substance results in the nonprinting surface of the plate being always covered by a certain wet film. This film repels the ink when the plate is being inked in such a way, that only the engraved part constituted by a material accepting the inking material is inked. Should it be necessary, a humidifying apparatus can be installed in the area where the printing machine is working, in order to maintain a sufficient level of humidity of the air.
DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT One embodiment of an engraved printing plate according to the invention will now be described.
Starting from a nickel plate provided with the engraved parts which illustrate, for example, the original design for a bank note. A fine layer of copper which can have a thickness of 0.002 mm, is spread over the surface of the plate by metallization in a vacuum or by galvanization. A filling material is then spread over the surface of the plate in the form of paste and so covered that the engraved parts are completely filled by this material. Of preference, this paste is composed of a thermoplastic mixture, for example carnauba wax with a solvent agent or very fine inorganic or organic elements. The surface of the plate spaced from the engraving is carefully cleaned of the filling material by wiping so that this material only remains in the engraved parts where it is hardened by heating and becomes solid following the melting of the inorganic elements. After the plate is cooled, the surface is polished, washed, dried and then covered with a layer of porous black chromium, preferably by galvanization. The filling material is next removed from the engraved parts, for example, by means of trichlorethylene vapor, in such a way that the copper layer which accepts the inking material is exposed in the engraved parts. Finally, the layer of black chrome covering the non-printing surface apart from the engraved parts is impregnated with lithium chloride.
A second embodiment of the engraved printing plate according to the invention is as follows:
Similarly, its starts from a nickel plate provided with engravings in which a thin layer of copper is spread. Next, the whole surface of the plate including the engraved parts, is covered with a film of porous black chromium. In order to extract this film from the engraved parts the procedure is carried out in such a way, that the surface of the plate other than the engravings is covered with a protective layer which'resists electrolytic or alkaline treatment, which isused to extract, finally, the layer of black chromium from the engraved parts.
This protective layer is produced in such a way that the surface other than the engraved parts is covered by an adhesive layer, for example, with the usual printers coloring material then by bitumen powder, spread on the adhesive surface which is still damp and acting as a protective material. By heating the plate, the powder is brought to a melting temperature so that a layer of solid bitumen is formed and dried at the same time as the adhesive layer. The black chromium is then extracted from the engraved parts.
The second step consists of removing the protective layer. The bitumen is then removed by the action of naphtaline and the superimposed layer of coloring material by a solvent such as phenol. Finally, the layer of black chromium on the nonprinting surface of the plate is impregnated by lithium chloride.
An advantage of the above described embodiments is that there is no need to constantly deposit a wet film on the surface of the plate during printing.
What is claimed is:
l. A method of treating an engraved printing plate for steel or copper plate printing, comprising the steps of coating the engraved part of the engraved printing plate with a layer of a material which accepts an inking material, and coating the non-engraved part of the engraved printing plate with a layer of porous material impregnated with a hygroscopic substance,
