Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of printing and hose packaging, and particularly relates to a printed sheet with 3D stereoscopic expansion effect and a preparation method thereof and a packaging hose. BACKGROUND

[0002] The existing printed products adopt conventional arrangement directions of printing dots, different proportional dot distributions, different color dot superposition technologies, and dot shapes. The conventional printing dot distribution can only display color depth, and the dot superposition of different colors presents different color levels. The existing printed products are in the 2D plane dimension, and it is difficult to reflect the stereoscopic effect of the real world. In order to make the appearance of the packaging product more attractive, the design of the pattern on the packaging appearance is more inclined to design the 3D stereoscopic effect. Most of the existing printing processes can only realize the 3D stereoscopic effect through silk printing or photoetching laser stamping and other high-cost schemes. The existing photoetching technology realizes the 3D stereoscopic effect by additional physical increase of a coating layer from the outside of the printed product or directional refraction grading change of light path on the nanoscale coating layer. However, the preparation of the existing 3D stereoscopic effect printed product has completely exceeded the range that can be realized by the printing process itself, and it is difficult to reduce the cost and production cycle, which is not conducive to large-scale promotion by the end customer, and it is difficult to keep up with the changes in customer demand in the rapidly changing packaging market. Based on the above reasons, it is urgent to develop a printing process technology with low cost and simplified process route to meet the technical demand of the printed product appearance with 3D stereoscopic effect.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto. All materials used in the examples of the present invention are commercially available.

[0022] Example 1 The method for preparing the printed sheet with 3D stereoscopic expansion effect described in this embodiment includes the following preparation steps: (1) Arrangement and proportional distribution of special dot shapes: The designed planar pattern is arranged and superimposed with different colors through different dot offsets using the principle of deconstruction optics. Through the arrangement and proportional distribution of special dot shapes (preset dot shape arrangement and proportional distribution), the dot arrangement printed pattern presents a visual expansion and protrusion effect. (2) Obtain the final designed file data: The arrangement and proportion of the special dot shapes in step (1) are repeatedly modified by digital printing simulation technology (soft proofing) and the color space is replicated on blank sheet to obtain the arrangement and proportion of the dot shapes that meet the actual digital printing requirements of the design, that is, the final designed digital file data (ICC file). (3) Composite dot printing method: The final digital file data (ICC file) designed in step (2) is transmitted to the digital plate making machine for laser engraving to obtain a physical printing plate. Then, the blank sheet is printed by flexographic printing, letterpress printing or offset printing to prepare a printing sheet with 3D stereoscopic expansion effect.

[0023] In this embodiment, step (1) is carried out as follows: The present invention analyzes the human eye’s perception principle of pattern stereoscopic vision, the most important of which is the direction of light and the shadow cast by the light on the object, forming the visual perception of the object’s protrusion and depression.

[0024] Preferably, the specific method by which the deconstruction optics principle described in step (1) arranges and superimposes different colors through different dot offsets is as follows: First, determine the range of refractive index and reflectance of the pigment we use on the substrate based on the formulas for refraction and reflectance of light, applying Snell's Law, as follows: n1 * sin(θ1) = n2 * sin(θ2) in, • n1, n2: are the refractive indices of the two media, respectively; • θ1, θ2: These are the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction (angles relative to the normal), respectively. Reflectivity R is defined as the ratio of reflected light power to incident light power. The Fresnel equation gives the reflection coefficient (amplitude ratio) r, and reflectivity R is the square of the reflection coefficient. A simplified algorithm is used to illuminate the interface perpendicularly: R = |r|² = | (n1 - n2) / (n1 + n2) |²; Then, based on the human eye's or densitometer's perception of brightness and darkness (which is not linear but logarithmic), optical density $D$ is introduced to quantify the ink layer concentration of the solid area of ​​the printed pattern, $$ D_{solid} = -\log_{10}(R_{solid}) $$ , where $R_{solid}$ is the reflectance measured in a certain measurement state (such as state T); The significance of density value $D$: It directly reflects the ink's ability to absorb light, and this absorption ability is rooted in the pigment's extinction coefficient κ. The higher the $D$ value, the thicker or more concentrated the ink is, the more light it absorbs and the lower its reflectivity.

[0025] Then, moving from the solid area to the halftone area, because the printed image is composed of halftone dots of different sizes. Within a halftone unit, part is ink (with a reflectance of $R_{solid}$) and part is substrate (with a reflectance of $R_{paper}$).

[0026] • Physical network coverage (a): refers to the actual proportion of network outlets per unit area; • Optical density (D tint): The density value obtained by measuring the entire dot area; Finally, based on the obtained physical dot coverage (a) and optical density (D tint), and combined with the Murray-Davis and Yule-Nielsen formulas, the arrangement and proportional distribution of special dot shapes are obtained; The Murray-Davis formula is a theoretical formula that directly connects dot density and dot coverage under ideal conditions under linear optical effects. The specific formula is $a$ = \frac{1 - 10^{-D_{tint}}}{1 -10^{-D_{solid}}}} \times 100% $$; This formula links macroscopic measurements ($D_{tint}$ and $D_{solid}$) to physical parameters (network coverage $a$); The Yule-Nielsen formula is based on the Murray-Davis formula, but with the addition of a correction factor `n` to simulate nonlinear optical effects. The specific formula is $$ a = \frac{1 - 10^{-D_{tint} / n}}{1 - 10^{-D_{solid} / n}} \times 100% $$, The meaning of the factor `n`: n is an empirical value (usually 1). <n<= 2)。

[0027] The `n` factor encompasses all complex optical interactions, including: a. The light scattering properties of the substrate (determined by the substrate's refractive index and microstructure); b. Multiple reflections and refractions of light in the ink dots and substrate; c. Essentially, the `n` factor incorporates the scattering properties of the substrate (which are themselves determined by its refractive index and structure) into the computational model.

[0028] The specific steps of step (2) in this embodiment are as follows: By summarizing and calculating the data relationship between the density and percentage (coverage) of all dots in the pattern, and performing soft proofing on blank sheets, the relevant parameters of the dots (dot shape, percentage, etc.) are adjusted. This process is repeatedly compared and modified with the target effect to obtain the arrangement and proportion of dot shapes that meet the actual digital printing requirements of the design. Finally, the final designed file data (ICC file) is obtained, i.e., the ICC (International Color Consortium) profile of the desired effect is generated after achieving the expected result (see the ICC file generation process). Figure 13 ),like Figures 3 to 10 This is a magnified view of the halftone dots at different ratios, which have been repeatedly modified and adjusted during the soft proofing process, such as... Figure 11 A magnified diagram of multi-color overprinted halftone dots in the area of ​​expansion effect; Figure 12 This is a magnified diagram of the black and grayscale dots in the area of ​​the expansion effect, as shown below. Figure 13 The diagram shows the ICC (International Color Consortium) profile generated after achieving the desired effect (ICC file generation flowchart). This step, which transforms the dot density structure of the pattern into actual dot transfer and replication in the printing process, involves applying the dot shape and proportion distribution data obtained from theoretical formulas to the specific color artwork to be designed. Then, the dot shape and proportion distribution on the color artwork are converted into an ICC file for plate making, subsequent engraving, and finally, production on the printing press to achieve actual dot transfer and replication. The dot density is the quantitative value of optical density measured by an optical densitometer. The dot density in the ICC file is data marked and quantitatively adjusted using the percentage values ​​of specific dots. The specific process for generating the ICC file is as follows: Print a standard color target such as IT8.7 / 4 according to the required pattern printing test draft; read the color using a spectrophotometer and measure the color data; calculate and generate the ICC characteristic file using professional software; output the ICC file; apply the obtained ICC file, embed or specify the ICC file in the design software, and call the corresponding ICC file for color conversion during printing.

[0029] The thickness of the blank sheet is 0.50 mm; The blank sheet is an all-plastic sheet; The specific steps of step (3) in this embodiment are as follows: The ICC file obtained in step (2) above is transmitted to a digital plate-making machine for laser engraving to obtain a physical printing plate. Then, the printing substrate is printed using flexographic or offset printing methods to prepare a printed sheet with a 3D stereoscopic expansion effect, such as... Figure 13 This is a magnified diagram showing multi-color overprinted halftone dots in the area of ​​the expansion effect. Figure 14 This is a magnified diagram of the black grayscale dots in the area of ​​the expansion effect.

[0030] The process flow for determining the dot shape and distribution ratio on the physical printing plate described in step (3) involves back exposure, laser processing, main exposure, plate washing, drying, de-adhesion, and post-exposure. The power of the back exposure is 3KW, and the exposure time is 12 seconds.

The power of the post-exposure is 2KW (UVB exposure), and the exposure time is 300 seconds. The thickness of the printing plate is 0.45mm.

[0031] The back exposure process specifically involves exposing and curing the back of the printing plate to increase its strength and make it more suitable for the transfer of halftone inks. The laser processing process specifically involves laser engraving of the printing plate surface dot by dot according to the digital ICC file description to form the halftone pattern. The main exposure process specifically involves exposing the halftone pattern again in the full wavelength range after the pattern engraving is completed, so that the halftone pattern has high curing strength and ensures printing quality. The plate washing process specifically involves spraying water through a nozzle to retain the pattern part and remove the non-pattern parts. The drying process specifically involves removing moisture. The de-adhesion process specifically involves using a rubber roller to roll and press the surface of the printing plate to remove the residual photosensitive emulsion. The post-exposure process specifically involves enhancing the exposure of the treated printing plate to make the hardness of the front and back of the printing plate consistent, the shrinkage rate stable, and the printing durability improved.
