摘要:
The invention is directed to a method for producing a novel flexographic printing sleeve which is readily axially mountable on and dismountable from a complementary shaped printing cylinder. The subject method comprises providing an apparatus for receiving a sprayed curable polymeric material and for forming the flexographic printing sleeve. Then, the curable polymeric material is sprayed onto the apparatus and a flexographic printing sleeve is formed. The sleeve has a substantially unitary, non-laminated construction which is self-supporting. The cross-sectional inner and outer diameter of the flexographic printing sleeve is expandable by introducing a relatively low pressure fluid between the inner surface of the printing body sleeve and the outer cylindrically-shaped wall of the printing cylinder. The flexographic printing sleeve is contractible from its expanded position by releasing the low pressure fluid. The structural integrity of the flexographic printing sleeve is resistant to substantial damage or distortion.

A printing sleeve for a rotogravure or flexo printing roll is provided thatas a base sleeve with a slightly conical or tapered geometry adapted to be mounted over the printing roll which also has a slightly conical or tapered geometry. The printing sleeve also comprises a layer of compressible material mounted to the base sleeve, a layer of foamed spacer material, and an outer tube mounted over the layer of foamed spacer material. Further, an engravable layer is typically applied to the exterior of the outer tube.

The holding device for hollow-cylinder printing formes comprises two adaptor rings (4) which are pressed into the free ends of the hollow cylinder (1) so as to form a seal and which are held under these circumstances in a latched condition by a spring-preloaded latch mechanism (5, 6). Because of the centred adaptor rings (4) a bulky and expensive mounting by means of plug-in spindle cone pieces and pressure pieces is unnecessary.

The invention concerns a printing sleeve made from a cylindrical supporting surface 4 upon which a knitted fabric 2" is applied as a gas-permeable means, providing a sheet of a thermoplastic elastomeric compositions thereupon, and applying a pressure difference and heat so as to press the sheet upon the surface and to obtain a fusion of the sheet with the fabric.

A flexible thinwalled sleeve for gravure printing is provided, which, going from inside to outside, essentially consists of(1) a slightly conical layer of nickel to provide mechanical strength,(2) a layer of copper, having the structure of high-gloss copper and which is essentially free of internal stresses, said layer having a cylindrical outer surface,(3) a thin, cylindrical layer of hard copper having a structure suitable for electronic engraving and having a gravure pattern on its outer surface, and if desired,(4) a thin protective layer of chrome.These layers are all firmly adhered to each other and especially the two layers of copper cannot be separated by peeling off. Since a high-gloss copper layer, which is free of internal stresses, has been found unsuitable for electronic engraving, and since the layer of hard copper, suitable for electronic engraving, has been found to have internal stresses, which would be unacceptable in the first layer of copper, the two layers must necessarily be different.

A pressure-sensitive adhesive comprising at least one adhesive component comprising at least one polymer component based on a monomer mixture comprising at least one of the following monomers: at least one acrylic ester at least one methacrylic ester acrylic acid methacrylic acid is particularly suitable for the bonding of printing plates, particularly to printing cylinders and/or printing sleeves, if the pressure-sensitive adhesive further comprises 1 to 25 wt %, preferably 2 to 20 wt %, based in each case on the overall blend of the at least one adhesive component without solvent, of at least one compound selected from the group consisting of stearyl alcohol, aliphatic and aromatic dicarboxylic esters, acetylated polyols and ethoxylated fatty acid amines.

Described herein are an apparatus and a method for direct engraving an elastomeric printing plate or sleeve by multiple laser beams simultaneously. In one embodiment, an elastomeric printing plate or sleeve is positioned on an imaging drum for direct engraving. The imaging drum is rotatable around its longitudinal axis. Such rotation defines a circumferential direction, also called the transverse direction. The axis of rotation defines an axial direction, also called the longitudinal direction. The printing plate or sleeve has an body and a surface made of an elastomer (made of polymer or rubber). A drive mechanism provides relative motion between a plurality of laser beams and the plate or sleeve in both the transverse and longitudinal directions.

The invention relates to a printing sleeve (1) comprising a first, radially inner layer (11) that has an inner side (11a) for making direct contact with the outer side of a printing cylinder (10), and an outer side (11b) which lies radially opposite said inner side (11a); as well as a second, radially outer layer (12) that has an outer side (12b) for forming a printing surface, and an inner side (12a) which lies radially opposite said outer side (12b). Said printing sleeve (1) is characterised in that the outer side (11b) of the first, radially inner layer (11) and the inner side (12a) of the second, radially outer layer (12) lie directly one against the other, and in that said first, radially inner layer (11) is designed to be able to absorb both forces occurring in the circumferential direction (U) and/or longitudinal direction (L), and pressures that arise in the radial direction (R).

The invention relates to a base body (10) for receiving a print image structure (20), in particular for flexographic printing, comprising a sleeve (10.1), an elastic layer (10.2) applied onto the sleeve (10.1) for holding an outer carrier layer (10.3), and the outer carrier layer (103), the carrier layer (10.3) being designed in such a mariner that the print image structure (20) can be applied.
摘要:
A method for manufacturing of a tool for production of synthetic image devices comprises cutting (210) a surface structured plate, giving a respective first and second edge. The plate has geometrical structures—microimages or focusing elements—in a first surface. Cells comprising the geometrical structures have a predetermined period in a first direction. The first edge is brought (212) to face the second edge in a close proximity. The first direction of a first area of the plate adjacent to the first edge is positioned with a predetermined angle with respect to the first direction of a second area of the plate adjacent to the second edge. A relative translation in said same plane between the first edge and the second edge is adapted (214) for bringing a first cell border in the first area to a predetermined distance, relative a corresponding second cell border in the second area. The first and second edges are mutually fixated (216) and mounted (218) onto a cylindrical support. A tool for manufacturing of synthetic image devices is also disclosed.
