Then export three types of high-resolution PNG files according to process requirements: 4-color layer PNG file: use CMYK color mode, corresponding to the basic color pattern of the color window area, provide color base for metal color superposition, ensure that the color and metal effect after subsequent cold foiling is naturally integrated; Foil layer PNG file: design through 1-4 special color channels, each channel corresponds to one metal color, at least two of gold, silver, flash gold, and color gold, which can match different thickness 10-15μm PET substrate cold foiling foil, realize precise layout of multiple metal colors in the same color window area; White ink layer PNG file: use 100% gray mode, cover non-color window area and coverage ≥95%, avoid the influence of substrate base color on color gold effect, and enhance the adhesion of metal color layer and substrate. Production process execution stage S2: "printing-cold foiling-treatment" cooperatively realizes color gold effect; Substrate pretreatment S2.1 / S2.1A / S2.1B: ensure printing and cold foiling adhesion Select thickness 0.1-0.5mm PET sheet or thickness 1-5mm acrylic plate as printing substrate, wipe the substrate surface with anhydrous ethanol-ethanol can efficiently remove oil and dust, and volatilize quickly without residue, avoid ink / cold foiling foil falling off due to impurities during subsequent printing; After wiping, dry naturally, ensure that the substrate surface is dry, provide a clean substrate for printing and cold foiling. Printing process S2.2 / S2.2A / S2.2B: complete color or white ink layer printing as needed, according to two core production processes, through UV flatbed printer or silk screen printer, execute corresponding printing operation: Process one; Color window first prints color: import 4-color layer PNG file into the printer, only print basic color pattern in the color window area of the substrate, immediately enter the UV curing module after printing, control the curing temperature at 50-55℃ to avoid substrate deformation, the curing time is 10-20s, finally form a color layer with a thickness of 8-10μm, ensure that the color layer is completely dry and tightly combined with the substrate; Then import the white ink layer PNG file, print white ink in the non-color window area, the UV curing temperature is increased to 55-60℃, white ink needs higher curing strength, the curing time is 15-25s, forming a white ink layer with a thickness of 12-15μm. Process two; First print white ink to lay the foundation: first import the white ink layer PNG file into the printer, print white ink on the substrate surface, the UV curing parameters are consistent with those of the non-color window area in process one, 55-60℃, 15-25s, thickness 12-15μm, the white ink layer can enhance the covering power and adhesion of the subsequent metal color; Then import the 4-color layer PNG file, print color pattern in the metal color base color window area, the UV curing parameters are consistent with those of the color layer in process one, 50-55℃, 10-20s, thickness 8-10μm.After the printed layer of the two processes is solidified, the gloss at 60° is ≥80°, ensuring the visual quality of the product. The simultaneous cold stamping process S2.3 / S2.3A / S2.3B: Small equipment linkage realizes multi-metal color cold stamping. The small desktop cold stamping film equipment is linked with the PLC of the printing machine. The guide roller 12 on the surface of the installation table 11 first stably transports the printed substrate to the cold stamping area; then the lower pressing cylinder 13 on the inner wall of the installation table drives the lifting frame 14 to descend, driving the upper pressing roller 15 to approach the lower pressing roller 16 below, forming a cold stamping pressing gap. The film feeding mechanism and tension control: the first motor 21 drives the screw 22 to rotate, so that the driving part 23 connected by threads moves along the slide rail 24, driving the cold stamping foil unwinding assembly 26 and the tension adjusting assembly 27 below the installation plate 25 to move synchronously, adapting to the position of the colored window area on the substrate; the second motor 262 on the first fixed plate 261 drives the first clamping plate 263 to rotate, while the clamping cylinder 265 on the second fixed plate 264 pushes the second clamping plate 266 to clamp the cold stamping foil roll; after the cold stamping foil is guided by the guide roller 272, it passes through the tension adjusting roller 276; if the cold stamping foil tension is too large, it will push the sliding block 274 to compress the spring 275 along the sliding groove 273; if the tension is too small, the spring will return to drive the sliding block to reset, and the spring force will adjust the tension to 0.5-1N in real time, avoiding cold stamping foil stretching deformation or slack wrinkles; the waste material winding assembly 28 has the same structure as the unwinding assembly, and synchronously recycles the waste foil substrate after cold stamping, avoiding the accumulation of waste materials affecting production. Adjust the cold stamping parameters according to the type of the printed layer: Process one; cold stamping on the color layer: cold stamping pressure 0.3-0.4MPa, temperature 42-48℃, ensuring that the cold stamping foil and the color layer have a bonding force ≥3MPa; Process two; cold stamping on the white ink layer: cold stamping pressure 0.4-0.5MPa, temperature 45-50℃, the white ink layer is slightly thicker, and higher pressure and temperature are needed to enhance the bonding, ensuring that the bonding force is ≥3.5MPa; During the cold stamping process, the cold stamping foil and the printed layer are accurately aligned, without missing stamping and bubbles.Substrate bonding S2.4 / S2.5A / S2.5B: expand the substrate adaptation scene as needed, if the printed substrate is a PET sheet, the post-printed PET sheet needs to be bonded with the target substrate, such as an acrylic plate, wood, density board, etc., with a thickness of 2-10 mm. First, use 400-600 mesh sandpaper to lightly polish the bonding surface of the target substrate to increase the surface roughness and enhance the bonding area. Then apply a solvent-free acrylic ester glue with a viscosity of 2000-3000 mPa·s, which is environmentally friendly and odorless. Then bond the PET sheet with the target substrate, apply a bonding pressure of 0.2-0.4 MPa to ensure uniform diffusion of the glue layer without air bubbles, and let it stand for 2-4 h. The shear strength of the cured glue layer is ≥5 MPa, which prevents the PET sheet from falling off during long-term use. Cutting S2.5 / S2.6A / S2.6B: precise shaping and ensuring color gold effect, using a fiber laser cutting machine with a cutting speed of 50-100 mm / s and an accuracy of ±0.1 mm, set the cutting path according to the product size. Laser cutting has no mechanical stress, which can avoid the color gold layer from falling off due to extrusion, and the cutting edge has no burrs. After cutting, use 0.1-0.2 MPa compressed air to blow off the surface dust, and finally get the finished acrylic product with multi-color gold effect. Device linkage control stage S3; through the PLC control system, establish the signal linkage between the printing machine and the small cold stamping film equipment: speed synchronization: real-time receive the substrate conveying speed signal of the printing machine 0.5-2 m / min, synchronize the conveying speed of the guide roller of the cold stamping equipment and the unwinding speed of the cold stamping foil, avoid the cold stamping misalignment caused by speed difference; position calibration: real-time monitor the alignment deviation of the printing layer and the cold stamping foil, automatically adjust the position of the cold stamping foil unwinding assembly, ensure that the alignment deviation of the printing layer and the cold stamping layer is ≤0.1 mm; parameter linkage: if the printing machine adjusts the UV curing temperature / time, the PLC will synchronously prompt whether the cold stamping equipment needs to be adjusted, such as increasing the printing layer curing temperature, the cold stamping temperature can be slightly adjusted to reduce, avoid overheating of the substrate, realize the parameter collaborative optimization of the whole process.
[0026] The above has made a detailed description of the present application in general, but some modifications or improvements can be made on the basis of the present application, which is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the modifications or improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application are within the scope of the present application.
