Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a printing machine comprising a non-impact printing unit and a creasing device, as defined in the preamble of claim 1.

[0002] In order to produce packages for flowable food products, usually, printing is first performed on a web-shaped substrate, and in many cases, further functional layers are subsequently applied. The substrate is usually provided with a creasing pattern after printing, which facilitates the subsequent production of packaging containers. Also, at this point, for example, punching of holes for straws is usually performed. This finishing is preferably carried out in combination with the filling process. In order to obtain a stable creasing pattern, a desired printed image is usually first applied by a form-bound printing method, and then the creasing pattern is formed. This ensures that the shape of this creasing pattern continues to be maintained.

[0003] In the flexographic printing process, drying is usually carried out each time after, for example, four printing processes with individual colors. The individual colors have, for example, a water content of about 60%, and this water must be removed during drying.

[0004] For example, there are attempts to carry out the printing process completely or partially by a non-impact printing method in order to realize a small number of copies or individualized printed images at low cost. For this purpose, for example, a flexographic printing unit is replaced by a non-impact printing unit.

[0005] It is known from WO 01 / 51275 A1 and US 2006 / 0032928 A1 respectively that printing is performed on a web-shaped substrate in a printing nip between rotating bodies, and a creasing pattern is subsequently provided.

[0006] European Patent Application Publication No. 3738780 states that printing on web-like packaging materials by inkjet printing instead of flexographic printing is performed before filling.

[0007] International Publication No. 2019 / 007979 makes it publicly known that printing on the web using inkjet printing and then adding a ruled pattern is possible.

[0008] A sheet printing machine is known, as described in European Patent Application Publication No. 3369572, wherein a flexographic printing unit, an inkjet printing unit, and a scribing device are arranged in succession along a transport path provided for transporting a substrate.

[0009] According to Chinese Patent Application Publication No. 114434979, there is a known apparatus for printing on a fiber web using a digital printing unit equipped with an assigned drying device, wherein a device for cutting the side edges of a material web, which is a combination of a fiber web and a paper web, is provided upstream of the digital printing unit.

[0010] European Patent Application Publication No. 2902201 discloses an apparatus for producing a structured surface with a varnish layer on a substrate, wherein a structure is applied to a pre-coated varnish layer, and the varnish layer is then dried. In this case, the substrate itself is protected from deformation.

[0011] The fundamental problem of this invention is to provide a printing machine equipped with a non-impact printing unit and a creasing device.

[0012] This problem is solved by the specific features of claim 1 according to the present invention.

[0013] The printing press is allocated a transport path for transporting the substrate. The printing press has at least one non-impact printing unit, each having at least one print head. The printing press has at least one dryer, which is allocated to the non-impact printing unit, and the working area of ​​the dryer is located downstream of one coating area of ​​the non-impact printing unit, preferably downstream of each coating area, along the transport path provided for transporting the substrate. The printing press has at least one scribing device and / or punching device, each having at least one scribing tool and / or at least one punching tool. Preferably, at least one scribing device and / or punching device is formed as at least a scribing device. The processing area of ​​the at least one scribing device and / or punching device is located upstream of the coating area of ​​the non-impact printing unit and / or upstream of the working area of ​​the dryer allocated to the non-impact printing unit, along the transport path provided for transporting the substrate. More preferably, the processing location of at least one scribing device and / or die-cutting device is located upstream of the operating area of ​​the drying device assigned to the non-impact printing unit, along a transport path provided for transporting the substrate; even more preferably, the processing location of at least one scribing device and / or die-cutting device is also located upstream of one coating area of ​​the non-impact printing unit, along a transport path provided for transporting the substrate, and even more preferably upstream of each coating area.

[0014] This provides the advantage that, in particular, the substrate is scored and / or punched before the drying device acts on the substrate. In non-impact printing, especially inkjet printing, four colors are typically printed sequentially on the substrate, and only afterward is the entire printed image formed in this process dried. In particular, in inkjet printing, each color typically has a moisture content of about 80%. Therefore, depending on the printed image, some surface areas may have a total moisture content of up to 320% before drying occurs. However, in the embodiment of this application, since drying occurs only after scoring, the printed image can be dried particularly strongly. Areas of the substrate with relatively little ink and thus moisture become relatively brittle and crack when the dryer output is high. However, since the substrate is dried strongly as described above only after scoring or punching, scoring or punching does not negatively affect the results of scoring or punching, even if the dryer output is high and the initial moisture content is low. Therefore, even if an arbitrarily large sub-area with a high moisture content is printed on the substrate, and the substrate is then dried considerably, it can still be processed into a high-quality, dense package. Pre-creasing of the same area of ​​the substrate before the printing process is possible in the case of non-impact printing because the pre-creased substrate is not pressurized within the printing nip by the printing process, and therefore the creasing is maintained. Additionally, it becomes possible to use a relatively short drying device with a relatively high temperature. This saves configuration space and cost compared to a longer dryer with a lower temperature.

[0015] In one improved form, the printing press is preferably characterized in that at least one drying device is formed as a hot air dryer and / or an infrared dryer. Preferably, the infrared dryer has at least one radiation source for precisely emitting electromagnetic radiation in the near-infrared range, i.e., within a wavelength range of 780 nm to 3 μm. The infrared dryer is particularly effective when using water-based inks, which is advantageous in particular in the food sector. In particular, this preferably causes the contained moisture to be particularly heated or dried, while the substrate itself is less heated or dried.

[0016] In alternative or additional improved forms, the printing press preferably has at least one plate-type printing device located upstream, wherein the coating area of ​​this printing device is located upstream of the processing area of ​​the scoring and / or die-cutting device, along a transport path provided for transporting the substrate. The at least one plate-type printing device located upstream is preferably formed as a flexographic printing device. This makes it possible to inexpensively form an unchanging printed image and / or a base coat for non-impact printing without affecting the scoring lines.

[0017] In alternative or additional improved forms, the printing press preferably has at least one plate-type printing unit located downstream, wherein the coating area of ​​this printing unit is located downstream of one coating area of ​​a non-impact printing unit or downstream of each coating area and / or downstream of the working area of ​​a drying device assigned to the non-impact printing unit, along a transport path provided for transporting the substrate. This at least one plate-type printing device located downstream is preferably formed as a flexographic printing device. This makes it possible to inexpensively form an invariant printed image in areas other than the ruled lines without affecting the ruled lines.

[0018] In alternative or additional improved forms, the printing press is preferably characterized in that the machine control device of the printing press is configured to take into account, in particular, the detection of at least one creasing mark and / or punch mark formed by at least one creasing device and / or punching device when controlling at least one non-impact printing unit. Thus, register accuracy between non-impact printing and creasing can be guaranteed.

[0019] In alternative or additional improved forms, the printing machine is preferably characterized in that at least one non-impact printing unit is formed as an inkjet printing unit and / or at least one print head is formed as an inkjet print head. This enables particularly high print quality at a low cost.

[0020] In alternative or additional improved forms, the printing machine preferably has at least one non-impact printing unit, which comprises at least one print head unit, wherein the coating area of ​​the print head unit extends laterally, particularly continuously, over a width of at least 20 cm, more preferably at least 50 cm, even more preferably at least 100 cm, even more preferably at least 150 cm, and even more preferably at least 200 cm. This allows non-impact printed images to be formed over any part of the substrate, and consequently, high-value printed products to be produced.

[0021] In alternative or additional improved forms, the printing press preferably has at least one non-impact printing unit, and at least two, more preferably at least three, and even more preferably at least four printhead units, wherein the coating areas of the printhead units are arranged sequentially along a transport path provided for transporting the substrate. More preferably, each printhead unit is connected to its own reservoir, which is particularly completely isolated from each other with respect to the liquid conduit. This enables multi-color non-impact printing and, consequently, high-value printed products.

[0022] In alternative or additional improved forms, the printing press is preferably characterized in that the printing press is configured as a roll printing press and / or has at least one substrate feeding device and / or at least one winding device for winding up printed and creased substrates, which are configured as roll feeders, particularly roll changers. This enables particularly high printing speeds and subsequent processing in conventional filling equipment.

[0023] In alternative or additional improved forms, the printing press is preferably characterized in that it has at least one inspection device, which is oriented and positioned to an inspection point on a transport path provided for transporting the substrate. The inspection point is preferably located along the transport path provided for transporting the substrate, downstream of one coating area of ​​a non-impact printing unit or downstream of each coating area, and more preferably downstream of one coating area of ​​at least one plate-type printing device located downstream or downstream of each coating area. In this way, the quality of the substrate processing can be checked and the printing press can be optionally controlled accordingly.
