Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of water-washable resin plates for digital imaging, and relates to a double-layer water-based black film and a digital resin plate. Background Art

[0002] Washable resin plates are mainly used for rotary letterpress printing, self-adhesive label printing, bills, security printing, hot stamping, hot molds and glazing, etc. They are widely used in the printing of trademarks, hoses, pipes, seals, metal sheets and other fields, and can reach a high screen count of more than 150lpi.

[0003] There are two types of water-washable resin plates: conventional plates and digital plates. The main difference lies in the differences in the plate-making process. The digital plate has higher precision. During the plate-making process, the conventional plate will attach the film with patterns or texts to the photosensitive resin layer, and the digital plate will directly use a laser engraving machine to engrave the image on the surface of the plate. The key to the digital water-washable resin plate is that it contains a black film layer, also called a laser-ablative mask layer. The working method is: the computer controls the laser to ablate the black film layer into images and texts. Under the action of ultraviolet light, the initiator decomposes to produce free radicals, which triggers the cross-linking reaction of resin molecules and monomers; the resin monomers of the printed image part are polymerized and cured. There is a relatively large solubility difference between the cured and uncured polymers. After development, drying and post-processing, a relief printing plate is made. The prepared plate is fixed on the roller of the printing press and is ready for printing.

[0004] The water-based black film in the digital resin plate is required to be easily peeled off or dissolved in water during water development, that is, the water-based black film has good water solubility. Similarly, the water-based black film is easy to absorb moisture when exposed to the air, or it is easy to cause fingerprints when the hand presses the surface of the water-based black film, affecting the imaging quality of the plate.

[0005] Research has found that the existing technology has done a lot of work on digital resin plates. Technicians have done a lot of research on water-based black films from the aspects of scratch resistance, oxygen barrier, imaging, transfer, etc. However, how to improve the moisture resistance of water-based black films is mainly reflected in the selection of resins, and there are no other effective means. For research on improving ink transfer, most of them are to improve ink transfer and wear resistance by adding some small particles.

[0006] Patent US2006 / 00087291A1 discloses a process for making a digital water-washable resin plate. The patent evaluates the invention effect of the black film from three aspects: first, the scratch resistance of the laser-ablated black film; second, the transfer and diffusion problem between the photosensitive resin layer and the laser-ablated layer; and third, the problem of image restoration sharpness. The water-based moisture resistance is not involved.

[0007] Patent US2012156514A1 also discloses digital water-washable resin plate technology. The unique structure of the plate is that a protective layer is set between the photosensitive resin layer and the laser ablation layer. The protective layer contains 20-80% polyvinyl alcohol, 15-60% plasticizer, and 5-40% water-dispersible latex. The plate surface does not produce wrinkles, no laser damage, and has good oxygen barrier properties. The plate surface does not produce coarsening. Moisture resistance is not involved.

[0008] The patent US6020108A highlights the preparation of laser ablation black film, and the laser spot diameter is 0.02mm. The present invention only improves the restoration of fine dots. Moisture resistance is not involved.

[0009] To improve the ink transfer and wear resistance of digital resin plates, patent US11137683B2 uses a method of adding inorganic particles with small particle size and a certain curvature to photosensitive elastomers to improve the wear resistance and excellent ink transfer of the plate relief surface. This method is relatively complicated in plate production, which will affect the light transmittance and haze of the plate, and is not conducive to the restoration of high-definition dots.

[0010] Patent CN107969149A introduces a method of setting an oxygen barrier layer between the laser ablation black film and the photosensitive resin layer, and using the oxygen barrier layer and the average particle size of 2-6μm silicon dioxide or silicate particles in the layer to press onto the surface of the flexible resin plate, a flat-top dot plate with a self-textured texture is formed to improve the wear resistance and ink transfer of the plate. The inorganic particles of this technology remain on the surface of the plate, and long-term printing will wear away the inorganic particles, but it will affect the quality of the subsequent printed products.

[0011] In summary, the key problem with digital resin plates is that it is difficult for the laser ablated black film to be both easy to remove in water development and moisture-resistant. In addition, in order to improve the wear resistance and ink transfer of the printing plate, inorganic or organic particles are added to the plate surface. During long-term printing, the particles disappear due to wear, affecting the surface stability of the printing plate. Summary of the invention

[0012] The present application provides a double-layer water-based black film and a digital resin plate, which can effectively solve the problem of moisture absorption or fingerprints during storage or operation of the plate, block oxygen during exposure and reduce the influence of oxygen on plate imaging, form sand grains on the surface of the plate without affecting the characteristics of the plate itself, and improve the ink transfer of the plate and the restoration of high-definition dots.

[0040] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. It is necessary to point out that this embodiment is only used to further illustrate the present invention and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Technical personnel skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments based on the above-mentioned contents of the present invention.

[0041] A double-layer water-based black film includes a moisture-proof layer and an imaging layer (which can be described as a matte layer or a laser engraved imaging layer). The moisture-proof layer contains a moisture-proof fluorine-containing resin; the moisture-proof layer also contains photo-crosslinkable vinyl polymers and acrylate monomers; under the action of light during plate making, the photo-crosslinkable vinyl polymers and acrylate monomers are triggered to undergo polymerization reactions, reducing water solubility; the presence of the two types of substances can improve the moisture-proof effect of the moisture-proof layer. The imaging layer contains surface-modified microparticles with a certain hydrophilicity. During development, sand grains will be formed on the surface of the plate material but will not remain on the surface of the plate material, thereby improving the printing ink transfer of the plate material without affecting the characteristics of the plate material itself.

[0042] Specifically, the purpose of the moisture-proof layer is to solve the problem that the black film itself is damp or the workers' hands are wet during the plate making process, and the workers' improper operation damages the black film on the surface of the plate, causing the black film to form light leakage points, affecting the quality of the plate. The moisture-proof layer is formed by coating with a moisture-proof coating liquid.

Different structures lead to different effects.

[0044] A method for making a digital resin plate is that an adhesive layer is pre-coated on a support body and rolled up for use, a photosensitive resin layer (C) is coated to form a film, a water-based black film is pre-coated on a protective film base, and the composite film is rolled up for use, and the three layers are then composited into a digital resin plate with a complete structure.

[0102] The purpose of the protective film base is to protect the digital resin plate. The protective film base can be removed, and when it is removed, the water-based black film is completely transferred to the photosensitive resin layer before the next step of laser engraving. The removable protective film base material can be PET or PE film with a thickness of 80-150μm, commonly 100μm or 125μm, and the average roughness value (Ra) is controlled at 0.1-0.5μm. This film material can be transparent, translucent or opaque. In order to facilitate the distinction between the two sides of the resin plate, the protective film base generally has a certain degree of haze.

[0103] When making plates, first remove the protective film base, use a laser engraving machine to engrave the image and text, and then under the action of ultraviolet light UVA, the initiator decomposes to produce free radicals, which trigger the cross-linking reaction between the resin molecules and the monomers to form a network structure polymer that is insoluble in water developer. After post-processing such as water washing, development, post-baking or detackification, the relief printing plate is made. The influence of oxygen is effectively blocked during the exposure process, which is conducive to the restoration of high-definition dots. During development, the microparticles are carried away by water and form sand grains on the surface of the plate, which effectively improves the ink transfer of the plate.

[0104] The following examples are intended to further illustrate the content of the present invention, but do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. This patent is a double-layer water-based black film based on a digital resin plate. The other structural layers of the digital resin plate, such as the support (A), adhesive layer (B), photosensitive resin layer (C) and protective film base (E) are omitted and only a unified description is given.

[0105] It should be noted that the following examples of the structure of the support (A), adhesive layer (B), photosensitive resin layer (C) and protective film base (E) are intended to verify or evaluate the implementation effect of the double-layer black film (D) in the present invention, but do not limit the scope of application of the present invention. The double-layer water-based black film in the present invention can also be used on water-based resin plates of other companies, such as Torelief Co., Ltd. Series, Toyobo Co., Ltd. Printight Flint Group WS-S series and other water-based resin plates.

Modified silica HC-220, carbon black and surfactant DF-664 were then added, and the mixture was continued to be mixed at room temperature for 1 hour to prepare a lower wool mask coating liquid for use.

[0128] The prepared moisture-proof film coating liquid was applied to the protective film substrate with a wire rod, and dried in an oven at 100°C for 5 minutes. The coating thickness was 2-3μm. Then the prepared fur film coating liquid was applied to the upper film, and dried in an oven at 90°C for 3 minutes. The coating thickness was 2-3μm. The total coating thickness of the final double-layer water-based black film was 4-5μm.

[0129] Plate production and evaluation

[0130] The photosensitive resin layer is coated with a wetting liquid on one side with a wire rod to wet the surface, and then the support with an adhesive layer is laminated. Then, the other side of the photosensitive resin layer is coated with a wetting liquid on the other side with a wire rod to wet the surface, and the prepared double-layer water-based black film is laminated. The laminated plate is placed in an oven, dried at 60°C for 10 minutes, and cooled to room temperature to complete the plate production.

Using a 500x 3D magnifying glass to observe the solid part of the plate, some micro pits can be observed without other particles. The dyne value of the solid part of the plate tested by a dyne pen can reach 36 (the dyne value is tested using a dyne pen and judged based on the spreading effect. The dyne pen only has resins such as 34 / 36 / 38. Because the test results show that both 36 and 38 can be spread, it is judged to be 36-38). The ink affinity is good.
