摘要:
A method for imaging a printing form is particularly suited for a printing form exposer or a printing unit of a press. A plurality of light sources produce image points in a row on the printing form whose spacing is greater than the minimum image point spacing. A first partial row of image points is produced with a first subset of the light sources and a second partial row is produced with a second subset. During a number of imaging steps, at least some of the image points of in each case one of the subsets is placed along the row in positions between image points of the respective partial row, produced in a previous imaging step, and in which, after the number of imaging steps, in a further imaging step, image points of the first subset are placed along the row at positions between image points of the second partial row from the preceding imaging step.
摘要:
Reusable printing forms and thermal image setting on the printing forms is optimized in terms of performance. A method for manufacturing the printing form, in particular a rewritable printing form, having a thermally insulating layer, is distinguished by the fact that the thermally insulating layer is produced by the configuration of individual layers to form a layer sequence as a multilayer system. A printing form which is manufactured by the method according to the invention can have images set on it with a low power image setting device, as it is possible to effectively prevent heat from dissipating in an undesirably pronounced manner, for example into a metallic carrier.
摘要:
Imageable printing forms are irradiated by radiant energy corresponding to the image information, the energy being absorbed in the printing form. The energy coupled in in this manner is available for patterning the printing form surface. A printing form having a plurality of substantially planar functional zones, which have at least one informational zone that is modifiable in accordance with image information and an absorption zone for absorbing energy from a radiation is distinguished in that a buffer zone is provided which differs at least partially from the absorption zone, receives energy from the absorption zone, and releases energy to the informational zone.
摘要:
A printing form that can be used many times has a printing surface which is provided with a metallic titanium layer. For imaging, the printing form is selectively coated hydrophilically in point-by-point manner by supplying controlled energy. After the printing, the image on the printing form can be erased by supplying heat; a method for forming images on a printing form and for erasing them; and a printing unit and a printing press including the printing form.
