[0002] Printing is a widely used modern technology. With the development of UV curable inks, UV matte printing has gradually replaced traditional printing processes and gained widespread adoption in many fields. UV matte printing imparts a unique feel to product surfaces, making it a popular choice in packaging, decorative printing, and other fields.
[0003] Currently, UV matte printing relies primarily on automated printing equipment, achieving the desired print quality by precisely controlling the UV varnish application and curing process. Existing technologies typically employ a pre-set, fixed UV curing unit layout. This prevents dynamic adjustment of the curing unit position to accommodate varying printing process parameters and substrate characteristics, making it difficult to ensure adequate leveling and curing of the UV varnish under varying conditions. This impacts the final print quality and quality. This situation warrants further improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Based on the instantaneous motion speed and acceleration, the theoretical leveling time of the UV varnish at different positions is calculated.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, this application first obtains the position coordinates of each color seat and the paper movement path based on the printing machine structural parameters and the paper operation path parameters; then combines the viscosity and surface tension obtained based on the physical and chemical parameters of UV varnish to simulate and calculate the instantaneous movement speed and acceleration of the paper between the color seats; finally, based on the instantaneous movement speed and acceleration, calculates the theoretical leveling time of UV varnish at different positions, which can provide a key theoretical basis for subsequently extending the leveling time and adjusting the position of the UV curing unit, thereby improving the overall quality and effect of UV matte printing.

[0060] The embodiments of the present application are described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0061] In the first aspect, the present application provides a method for improving the UV matte printing effect, referring to Figure 1 , comprising the following steps: S10, obtaining structural parameters of the printing press, paper running path parameters and physical and chemical parameters of UV varnish.
[0062] In this embodiment, the structural parameters include the dimensions and position coordinates of each module of the printing press, reflecting the physical layout of the entire machine; the paper path parameters include the movement trajectory and speed curve of the paper between the various color stations, describing the actual operation state of the paper; and the physicochemical parameters mainly refer to the performance parameters of the UV varnish, such as viscosity and surface tension.
[0063] Specifically, the structural parameters of the printing press are obtained through on-site measurement or importing design data; the movement trajectory and speed of the paper at each transmission component are collected in real time using sensors to obtain the paper operation path parameters; and the physical and chemical parameters of UV varnish are obtained from the manufacturer.
[0064] S20. Based on the structural parameters, paper running path parameters and physical and chemical parameters, determine the paper movement state parameters between the various color seats and calculate the theoretical leveling time of the UV varnish at different positions.
[0065] In this embodiment, the paper motion state parameters include the instantaneous motion speed and acceleration of the paper between the color seats, and the UV varnish leveling time refers to the time required for the UV varnish to reach a flat surface after being coated.
[0066] Specifically, based on the acquired structural parameters, operation path parameters, UV varnish viscosity and other parameters, a model was established and simulation calculations were performed to obtain the instantaneous velocity, acceleration and other motion states of the paper between the various color seats; then, based on these motion state parameters and UV varnish performance parameters, the theoretical leveling time of UV varnish at different printing positions was calculated.
[0067] S30 , determining a target printing area where the UV varnish leveling time needs to be extended according to the theoretical leveling time and a preset leveling time threshold.
[0068] In this embodiment, the leveling time threshold refers to the pre-set minimum leveling time required for the UV varnish to achieve a good leveling effect; the target printing area is the area where the theoretical leveling time of the UV varnish cannot meet the threshold requirement.
[0069] Specifically, the calculated theoretical leveling time of UV varnish at different locations is compared with a preset leveling time threshold. Printing areas with theoretical values below the threshold are identified as target printing areas where the leveling time needs to be extended. For example, if the threshold is 0.5 seconds, and the theoretical leveling time of UV varnish in a certain area is only 0.3 seconds, then that area is the target printing area.
[0070] S40 , obtaining a specific position of the target printing area and corresponding motion state parameters, and determining an optimal pre-curing position distance between the UV curing unit and the target printing area based on the specific position and motion state parameters.
[0071] In this embodiment, the specific position of the target printing area is represented by coordinates; the optimal pre-curing distance refers to the distance between the UV curing unit and the area so that the UV varnish obtains sufficient leveling time in the area and meets the curing energy requirements.
[0072] Specifically, based on the position coordinates of the target printing area, the corresponding paper motion state parameters are found; then, based on these parameters, the curing wavelength and energy intensity of the UV curing unit, the cumulative irradiation energy and corresponding leveling time of the UV varnish in this area at different pre-curing distances are calculated, and then the optimal distance that can enable the UV varnish to obtain the maximum leveling time and meet the curing energy requirements is determined.
[0073] S50: Adjust the position parameters of the UV curing unit according to the optimal pre-curing position distance.
[0074] In this embodiment, the UV curing unit position parameter refers to the distance setting value between the curing unit and each printing area.
[0075] Specifically, auxiliary mechanisms that can adjust the installation position of the curing unit are added, such as slide rails and screw transmission mechanisms, so that the curing unit can adjust its position forward and backward along the running direction of the printed paper. A closed-loop servo drive system is constructed to drive the auxiliary mechanism, and the optimal pre-curing distance calculated for each target area is written into the control system of the UV curing unit, thereby adjusting the actual distance between each curing unit and the corresponding area accordingly.
[0076] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 In step S20, based on the structural parameters, paper running path parameters and physical and chemical parameters, the paper movement state parameters between the color seats are determined and the theoretical leveling time of the UV varnish at different positions is calculated, which specifically includes the following steps:
[0077] S21. Based on the structural parameters and the paper running path parameters, the position coordinates of each color seat of the printing press and the movement path of the paper between the color seats are obtained.
[0078] In this embodiment, the color seat position coordinates refer to the specific coordinate values of each color seat in the coordinate system of the entire machine; the paper movement path refers to the actual running trajectory of the paper between the color seats.
[0079] Specifically, the installation position coordinates of each color seat are parsed from the structural parameters; at the same time, the actual movement trajectory of the paper at each tension sensor, guide roller and other transmission components are extracted from the paper operation path parameters, and then the movement path of the paper between the color seats is determined.
[0080] S22. Obtain the viscosity and surface tension of UV varnish based on physicochemical parameters.
[0081] In this embodiment, viscosity and surface tension are the key physical and chemical parameters that affect the leveling performance of UV varnish.
[0082] S23. Simulate the instantaneous movement speed and acceleration of the paper between the color seats based on the position coordinates of the color seats, the movement path of the paper between the color seats, and the viscosity and surface tension of the UV varnish.
[0083] Specifically, a dynamic model is constructed, and the color seat coordinates, paper movement path, UV varnish viscosity, surface tension, etc. are used as model inputs to simulate and calculate the instantaneous movement speed and acceleration of the paper between the color seats.
[0084] S24. Calculate the theoretical leveling time of UV varnish at different positions based on the instantaneous motion speed and acceleration.
[0085] Specifically, based on the formula t=(3η / γ)[(1+5(av / v2)) / (1+2.5(av / v2))]*L, the theoretical leveling time value of UV varnish at different positions between each color seat is calculated, where t represents the theoretical leveling time of UV varnish, η represents the viscosity of UV varnish, γ represents the surface tension of UV varnish, a represents the acceleration of paper, v represents the instantaneous movement speed of paper, and L represents the length of the printing area considered.
[0086] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 In step S40, based on the specific position and motion state parameters, the optimal pre-curing position distance between the UV curing unit and the target printing area is determined, which specifically includes the following steps:
[0087] S41. Determine the actual exposure time of the UV varnish in the target printing area based on the specific position and motion state parameters.
[0088] In this embodiment, the actual exposure time refers to the time from when the UV varnish is applied to the target area to when it is irradiated by the UV curing unit.
[0089] Specifically, the actual exposure time of the UV varnish in the target printing area is calculated based on the specific coordinates of the target printing area and the paper speed. For example, if the target area is 0.2 meters long and the paper speed is 2 meters per second, the exposure time of the UV varnish in this area is approximately 0.1 seconds.
[0090] S42. Obtain the curing wavelength and energy intensity of the UV curing unit, and calculate the cumulative irradiation energy of the UV varnish in the target printing area under different pre-curing position distance conditions based on the actual exposure time, curing wavelength and energy intensity.
[0091] In this embodiment, different pre-curing distances will result in different cumulative radiation energies received by the UV varnish in the target area.
[0092] Specifically, the UV wavelength and energy intensity values emitted by the UV curing unit are obtained; then, an irradiation model is established based on the length of the target printing area and the actual exposure time, and the cumulative irradiation energy values of the UV varnish in the target printing area at different preset pre-curing distances such as 1 cm and 2 cm are calculated.
[0093] S43: Obtain a minimum irradiation energy threshold required for a UV varnish curing reaction, and determine an optimal pre-curing position distance that satisfies the minimum irradiation energy threshold and allows the UV varnish to obtain a maximum leveling time.
[0094] Specifically, the minimum irradiation energy threshold required for UV varnish curing can be obtained from the manufacturer. The minimum irradiation energy threshold is then compared with the calculated cumulative irradiation energy at different distances to determine the distance range that meets the threshold requirement. Within this distance range, the distance that allows the UV varnish to achieve the longest leveling time in the target area is selected as the optimal pre-curing distance. For example, if the energy reaches the threshold and the leveling time is the longest at a distance of 2 cm, then 2 cm is the optimal distance for that area.
[0095] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4 In step S50, after adjusting the position parameters of the UV curing unit according to the optimal pre-curing position distance, the method further includes the following steps:
[0096] S51. Obtaining the specular reflectivity parameter of the printing substrate.
[0097] Specifically, professional measuring equipment such as a gloss meter is used to test the surface of the printed substrate to obtain the mirror reflectivity value.
[0098] S52. Analyze the leveling effect of the current UV varnish on the substrate according to the specular reflectivity parameter to obtain a leveling effect analysis result.
[0099] In this embodiment, the obtained specular reflectivity parameters are compared with the standard reflectivity of the UV varnish under ideal leveling conditions, and the leveling effect is determined based on the difference. For example, if the standard reflectivity is 85% and the actual measured reflectivity is only 70%, the leveling effect can be determined to be unsatisfactory.
[0100] S53. Based on the leveling effect analysis results, the printed substrate is divided into regions to determine unqualified regions.
[0101] Specifically, the printed substrate is divided into several small areas, and the mirror reflectivity test value of each area is recorded separately. Based on the analysis results, the areas with unsatisfactory leveling effects are marked as unqualified areas.
[0102] S54. Determine the compensation leveling time of the UV varnish in the unqualified area according to the specific position and motion state parameters corresponding to the unqualified area.
[0103] In this embodiment, sufficient leveling time needs to be compensated for the unqualified areas with unsatisfactory leveling.
[0104] Specifically, based on the specific location coordinates of the unqualified area, the paper movement speed and other parameters corresponding to the unqualified area are found, and combined with the physical property data of the UV varnish, the compensation leveling time required for the UV varnish in the area is recalculated.
[0105] S55 , adjusting the pre-curing position distance and energy output ratio of the corresponding UV curing unit according to the compensated leveling time, and generating and sending local compensation process parameters to the UV curing unit.
[0106] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 5 In step S55, according to the compensation leveling time, the pre-curing position distance and energy output of the corresponding UV curing unit are adjusted, and the local compensation process parameters are generated and sent to the UV curing unit. The method further includes the following steps:
[0107] S56. Obtain a pre-established theoretical model curve between the leveling rate of UV varnish and the matte printing effect.
[0108] Since the leveling rate of UV varnish directly affects the matte effect of printed products, in this embodiment, a theoretical model curve of the leveling rate and matte of UV varnish is obtained by fitting a large amount of experimental data, and the curve is pre-stored in the system.
[0109] S57. Obtain the actual leveling rate difference between the qualified area and the unqualified area of the UV varnish on adjacent printing substrates.
[0110] In this embodiment, the actual leveling rate difference of UV varnish in qualified and unqualified areas is obtained in real time to evaluate the degree of performance degradation.
[0111] Specifically, a high-speed camera is used to monitor the printing process in real time, and the movement speed of the leveling front of UV varnish in the qualified area and the unqualified area is measured respectively. The difference between the two is the actual leveling rate difference.
[0112] S58. Based on the difference between the theoretical model curve and the actual leveling rate, the leveling performance attenuation trend of the UV varnish is analyzed to obtain the critical value of the leveling performance.
[0113] Specifically, on the theoretical model curve, find the glossiness difference corresponding to the measured actual leveling rate difference, determine the current performance attenuation percentage of the UV varnish based on the glossiness difference, and set a critical threshold, for example, when the attenuation reaches 70%, it is judged to be critical.
[0114] S59: When the actual leveling performance of the UV varnish reaches a critical value, a UV varnish replacement instruction is sent to the system.
[0115] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 6 , the method further comprises the steps of:
[0116] S61. Obtain a pre-established theoretical model between the surface roughness of the printing substrate and the spreading performance of the UV varnish.
[0117] S62: Obtain current surface roughness parameters of the printing substrate.
[0118] S63. Determine and output optimized anilox roller parameters suitable for the current surface roughness according to the current surface roughness parameters and the theoretical model.
[0119] It should be understood that the size of the serial numbers of the steps in the above embodiments does not mean the order of execution.
