Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an ink controller which is excellent in a responsiveness which controls a flow of ink among rollers by a method wherein a means which blows air along a roller width direction against at least one roller surface of a forme roller or an ink roller group is provided in an offset press. CONSTITUTION:Air is blown out from each pipe 21 by arranging a number of air pipes 21 in a width direction of a forme roller 7. Water bearing ink is blown on a surface of the forme roller 7 to evaporate water in the ink. Thereby, a moisture content on the forme roller 7 is varied, and a transition rate of the ink between a roller and the forme roller 7 is varied to control an ink amount to be supplied to a forme plate 17. Further, air volume and air temperature from a plurality of the air pipes 21 are individually controlled.

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 6 shows a roller arrangement of a conventional offset printing machine. In offset printing, as is well known, the ink 19 passes from the ink fountain 1 through the ink key 16, the ink source roller 2, the ink roller group 4,
It is selectively supplied to the image area of the plate 17 on the plate cylinder 8 via the inking roller 7.

Further, the ink on the plate 17 is transferred to the rubber blanket cylinder 13 and finally printed on the printing paper 15. Further, the dampening water 12 is supplied to the plate 17 by the swimsuit roller 9. The dampening water 12 is the water source roller 1.
1, the roller (C) 10 and the swimsuit roller 9 are supplied onto the plate 17.

On the contrary, the dampening water 12 also enters the ink roller group 4 from the plate 17 through the inking roller 7, the roller 5 and the roller 6. Therefore, during printing, the ink on the ink roller mixes with water to form an ink / water emulsion state. The value of the water content in the ink on each ink roller, the so-called water content in the ink, is higher as the ink roller is closer to the plate 17, and the value is smaller as the ink roller is farther from the plate 17. For example, the value of water content on each roller is considered to be as shown in FIG.

The above-mentioned prior art has the following problems. (1) When the ink density distribution of the printed matter in the roller width direction is different from the target density distribution of the printed matter, the operator of the printing machine makes adjustments by opening and closing the ink key 16, but as shown in FIG. There are many rollers between the plate 17 and the ink, and the ink is transferred from the many rollers to the plate 1
Since it reaches 7, the response is bad. (2) The transfer of ink between rollers is related to the water content in the ink, and depending on the distribution of the water content in the ink on the rollers, the ink may flow from the upstream side (ink source roller side) to the downstream side, as expected. The operability and responsiveness are poor only by operating the ink key 16 without flowing to the (plate side).

Next, the operation of this apparatus will be described. Generally, when ink is transferred from an upstream roller to a downstream roller, the amount of ink flowing is determined by the transfer rate between rollers. The transfer rate represents the splitting ratio when the ink merges and splits again at the nip portion of the two rollers, and is defined as follows.

As shown in FIG. 2, the roller on the upstream side,
There is a roller on the downstream side, and the ink film thickness on the roller is t 1 , t 1 ′ and t 2 , t 2 ′ before and after the nip, respectively.
Then, the transfer rate α is given by the following equation. α = t 2 ′ / (t 1 + t 2 ) ... (1) Equation (1) is transformed to t 2 ′ = α (t 1 + t 2 ) ... (2) Equation Ink to the downstream roller Is transmitted by t 2 ′, the greater α is from the equation (2), the better the ink flow downstream. Therefore, if α can be partially controlled in the width direction, the ink flow can be controlled.

As a method of changing the transfer rate α, it is possible to control the water content between the two rollers. Referring again to FIG. 2, the water content of the ink on the roller and on the roller of the roller is w 1 , w 1 ′, and w 2 , respectively before and after the nip.
Assuming that w 2 ′, the dislocation rate α is expressed by the equation (3).

Α = g (Δw) (5) The larger Δw, the smaller α. This state is shown in FIG. As is known from FIG. 3, the ink transfer rate can be changed by controlling the water content difference Δw between the two rollers. For example, by spraying the air of the air pipe 21 shown in FIG. 1, the water content in the ink on each roller can be changed as shown in FIG. 4, and the ink flow can be improved.

The ink control device for a printing press according to the present invention is, in an offset printing press, provided with means for blowing air along the roller width direction on at least one roller surface of the inking roller or the ink roller group. Has the following effects. By installing multiple rear pipes in the roller width direction and controlling the air volume or temperature of the air blown from each air pipe, the ink flow in the width direction of the printing machine can be controlled. Therefore, it is possible to control the density of the printed matter in the width direction with quick response and good operability as compared with the control by the ink key.
