Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve a resolving power and a dimensional accuracy by a method wherein ink is cured on a printing plate, thereon a transparent resin layer is provided, and the ink is transferred. CONSTITUTION:UV-curing ink is applied to an image part on a prepared deep- etch offset plate or intaglio printing plate 4 using an inking roller for the former and a doctor for the latter. The ink 3 on the plate is dried and cured intact by an UV irradiation. An UV-curing transparent resin 2 is applied by coating or dropping all over the printing plate 4. A transparent substrate 1 serving as a body to be printed is overlapped on the resin 2 with the printing surface thereof disposed inside and pressurized. The printing plate 4 and the transparent substrate 1, are positionally adjusted, as required, and irradiated with an UV light. After the transparent resin 2 is completely cured, the substrate 1 is released. This method can improve the resolving power and dimensional accuracy of a pixel as high as a photolithographic method.

The photolithography method is widely used because it can produce highly accurate overall dimensions and 1i-line shapes, and it can also provide images with high resolution. On the other hand, printing methods are used for relatively simple products due to problems such as accuracy, but technological development is progressing to create more sophisticated products because of the small number of steps and the ability to reduce costs. ing.

On the other hand, in the printing method, excluding printing plate making as a preparatory step, the steps of (a) inking, (b) transfer, and (c) baking are fewer than the pigment dispersion method. It is also possible to make highly durable inks for coloring materials by selecting the base resin. However, printing methods have the problem of physical properties associated with ink transfer, which deforms the shape of each pixel and reduces resolution.

To briefly explain the transfer process using the offset printing machine used in the -R2 printing method as an example, the ink image inked on the printing plate is first transferred to a cylindrical blanket cylinder, and then transferred onto the substrate. During this transfer, the entire image can be seen to be deformed, for example, a square image becomes a rectangle, trapezoid, or collapses into a parallelogram.

In the case of a waterless planar intaglio plate, there is a photosensitive resin layer on an oil-sensitive substrate, and a silicon layer is formed on this layer. By performing selective exposure through a mask and causing a phenomenon, the lower photosensitive layer is peeled off together with the upper silicon layer, and oil-sensitive recesses are formed as image areas.

In addition, for gravure intaglio plates, a photosensitive resist is coated on the substrate, and in the same way, the resist is selectively removed by selective exposure with a mask and development, and then the resist is removed by further etching treatment. The etched portion of the base is etched to form a recessed portion as an image portion.

- In boat fishing, the size of the finished image is elongated by about 50 to 200 μm in the direction of printing, but in this invention, the image on the printing plate is transferred directly from surface to surface by pressure transfer, resulting in printing on glass, etc. An image (elephant) is formed on the substrate, so
It is possible to form an image with high overall dimensional accuracy just like the printing plate.

In the present invention, the irregularities in the film thickness seen in pixels by conventional printing methods are seen during inking from the ink roller to the printing plate, but the irregularities are buried in the transparent resin layer. The ink coating surface that is actually exposed on the surface is
It is a direct copy of the surface of the image on the printing plate, and is flat. Also, for the same reason, the edges are beautiful and the line width is stable.

Furthermore, conventionally, when printing thin lines, etc., deformation occurs during transfer due to the viscoelastic nature of the ink, and this appears as tangles on both sides of the line. This vibration is generally 10μ
Considering that there are approximately 20 μm lines on both sides of the thin line, it can be said that printing a 20 μm line is the limit. However, in the present invention, as well as there being no deformation (unevenness) in the film thickness, this flickering is also eliminated, so that it is possible to create sharp images down to about 5 μm.

Therefore, the pixel resolution can be formed on the transparent substrate exactly as it is achieved on the printing plate, so that the resolution of the pixels can be increased to the same level as that achieved with photolithography.
