Multi-positioning method in registration printing
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of printing overprinting, in particular to a multiple positioning method in register printing.
Background
The web printing equipment is widely applied to the printing industry due to high speed, high efficiency and stable printing quality, the web also has unique personality, the web runs continuously without interruption in the middle, the positions of color groups are required to be aligned, otherwise, the colors and patterns are changed, the position relation between each color group is ensured by a mechanical gripper unlike the condition that a single sheet is not required to be in a mechanical jaw, the web printing cannot be stopped because of the continuity, about 200 meters of material is wasted before and after one stop, the position correspondence between the color groups is very critical, most overprinting systems in the industry are started by machines at present, an operator presses down from a first color gradual pressing roller at the forefront, then the colors are printed on a paper tape, the operator manually moves color blocks to be overprinted into a moving door, the operation from the first color block at the front to a color block at the back is required, after all color blocks are pulled in the door, because the hardware distance between two scanning heads of the prior web overprinting system is 20mm, therefore, overprinting can be started only by manually adjusting the distance between two color blocks to be overprinted to be about 20mm, otherwise, the equipment can not identify the color blocks, overprinting relation is started on the operation screen for overprinting, after the overprinting is finished, the speed of the machine is increased to start normal production, the mode is that the operation is carried out manually, the speed is low, the speed is fast and invisible, the printing effect is not good under the condition of low speed, and like the equipment with more color groups, the operator needs to run back and forth, even if an operator who is skilled in operation needs to adjust the length of at least 4-5 printing devices each time overprinting is started, overprinting work can be completed, and the mode not only causes high labor intensity of the operator, but also cannot realize accurate overprinting.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a multiple positioning method in register printing aiming at the prior technical situation, which carries out multiple comparison through a plurality of plate frames, selects the execution quantity with the minimum error for adjustment, and has more accurate register printing and high efficiency.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
the invention relates to a multiple positioning method in register printing, which is characterized in that blocks to be printed on a printing plate are numbered before printing, all color blocks after each printing process are subjected to image scanning in a printing period to form a plurality of image plate frames, the number of the color blocks in each plate frame is increased progressively according to a printing sequence, finally, the image plate frames with target color blocks are identified by a system according to register relation, error values between the target color blocks in the image plate frames and the register relation are calculated, and the system adjusts the execution amount of a register execution mechanism through the error values to realize accurate register printing.
In the above scheme, the overprint relationship is a relationship between an initial overprint execution amount and a target overprint execution amount, wherein the initial overprint execution amount needs to be input into the system before printing starts.
Further, the target overprint execution amount is determined by the difference in position between the target patch and the reference patch, i.e., the distance between the two patches in the longitudinal and lateral directions.
Further, the printing cycle is the printing cycle of each color block on the printing plate, and if the number of color blocks on the printing plate is M, one printing cycle forms M or M +1 printing plates according to the number of color blocks.
In each version of the first printing cycle, the system takes a first color block shared in each version as a reference color block, all target color blocks are compared with the reference color block to obtain a plurality of target overprint execution amounts, each target overprint execution amount is compared with an initial overprint execution amount, and the system selects the target overprint execution amount with the minimum error with the initial overprint execution amount and adjusts the initial overprint execution amount to form an actual overprint execution amount.
And in the second printing period to the Nth printing period, the system compares two color blocks in each plate width in sequence of overprinting, the first color block is a reference color block, the second color block is a target color block, the target color block in each plate width in the same period is compared with the reference color block to obtain at least one target overprint execution quantity, the target overprint execution quantity is compared with the initial overprint execution quantity, the system selects the target overprint execution quantity with the minimum error with the initial overprint execution quantity, and the initial overprint execution quantity is adjusted to form the actual overprint execution quantity.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: the invention can freely arrange the positions of the color blocks according to the typesetting condition of the layout by presetting the identification numbers of the color blocks of the printing plate and inputting the numbers and the initial overprinting execution quantity into a system, and sets cameras behind a plurality of printing processes to scan images so as to form a plurality of image layouts. According to the method, operators do not need to do any labor force operation and processing, and can complete the overprinting completely and automatically only by inputting the relevant parameters into the control system, so that not only are manpower and material resources saved, but also the production cost is reduced, and the overprinting can be completed at a high speed, and the efficiency is greatly improved.

The specific implementation mode is as follows:
the invention relates to a multiple positioning method in register printing, which is characterized in that blocks to be printed on a printing plate are numbered before printing, all color blocks after each printing process are scanned and shot by a camera in a printing period, the camera is provided with a light source, a plurality of image plates are formed by shooting by the camera, the number of the color blocks in each plate is increased progressively according to a printing sequence, finally, the image plates with target color blocks are identified by a system according to register relations, error values between the target color blocks in the image plates and the register relations are calculated, and the system adjusts the execution amount of a register execution mechanism through the error values to realize accurate register printing.
Specifically, the overprint relationship is a relationship between an initial overprint execution amount and a target overprint execution amount, wherein the initial overprint execution amount needs to be input into the system before printing starts. The target overprint execution amount is determined by the difference in position between the target patch and the reference patch, i.e., the distance between the two patches in the longitudinal and lateral directions.
The printing cycle is the printing cycle of each color block on the printing plate, and if the number of the color blocks on the printing plate is M, M or M +1 printing plates are formed in one printing cycle according to the number of the color blocks. The number of the plate frames depends on whether the paper tape is white cardboard, if the paper tape is the white cardboard, the first color block is a reference color block, image scanning is not needed before printing, and each image scanning is after color block printing, so that the number of the plate frames is the same as that of the color blocks, and is M; if the original color block exists in the paper tape, image scanning needs to be performed before printing, so that the number of the plate width is one more than that of the color block, and is M + 1.
In each version of the first printing cycle, the system takes a first color block shared in each version as a reference color block, all target color blocks are compared with the reference color block to obtain a plurality of target overprint execution amounts, each target overprint execution amount is compared with an initial overprint execution amount, and the system selects the target overprint execution amount with the minimum error with the initial overprint execution amount and adjusts the initial overprint execution amount to form an actual overprint execution amount.
After the first printing cycle, the paper tape enters a normal high-speed overprinting mode, so that in the second printing cycle to the Nth printing cycle, the system compares two color blocks in the overprinting sequence in each plate, the first color block is a reference color block, the second color block is a target color block, the target color block in each plate in the same cycle is compared with the reference color block to obtain at least one target overprinting execution quantity, the target overprinting execution quantity is compared with the initial overprinting execution quantity, the system selects the target overprinting execution quantity with the minimum error with the initial overprinting execution quantity, and the initial overprinting execution quantity is adjusted to form the actual overprinting execution quantity.
