FIG. 2 shows a conceptual diagram of an embodiment of the registration apparatus according to the present invention. The printed matter 17 is placed on the table 21 of the apparatus with the attestation 21. The registration device is provided with two rails, a horizontal rail 11 and a vertical rail 13, so that the camera 15 can be moved directly above a registration mark 19 on the printed matter 17. The register 15 of the printed matter 17 is read by the camera 15, and the reference color switch 23 first selects which color is used as a reference.

The registering operation when this embodiment is applied to a flatbed offset four-color proof press will be described. First, a printing plate is attached to the proof press and several sheets are printed. What is important here is to return the position of the plate holding device of each plate to the position of the origin before mounting the plate. The number of sheets to be printed varies depending on the printing conditions, but it is sufficient that the registration mark of each color is printed firmly and a printed material without stains around the registration mark can be obtained.

This printed matter is placed on a registration device having a structure as shown in FIG. At this time, it is important to place the edge of the printed matter firmly on the ate 21. This is because the reference origin is constantly in the same position. The two rails, the horizontal rail 11 and the vertical rail 13, provided in the registration device move the camera 15 directly above the register 19 of the printed matter 17 to read the register 19 of the printed matter 17.

Here, as the register to be taken in, a cross-shaped one such as the register 19 of (FIG. 2) is desirable because it is easy to understand the amount of deviation in the vertical and horizontal directions, but the type is appropriately selected according to the printed matter. The good thing is clear. Further, the number of registration marks to be taken in by the camera is arbitrary, but it is preferable to be about three in terms of workability and accuracy.

From the image captured by the camera 15, a reference color plate is first selected. It goes without saying that the standard color plate is preferably a color that can be easily captured by the camera. Here, the sample is a printed matter using four colors of ink, indigo, red, and yellow, and the color of the black ink is used as the reference, but the same applies when other colors are used as the reference. Since the black color is used as a reference, the black reference color switch 23 is pressed. Then, in the apparatus, the misregistration amount of the printing plate position of each of the other colors is calculated with reference to the register position of the black color, and the misregistration amount display monitor 25 displays the misregistration amount.

The features of the flatbed offset proof printing machine are:
Due to the non-printed matter being fixed by the paper gripping device during printing, there are the following phenomena regarding the registration. That is,
During the transfer from the blanket to the paper, due to the friction between the paper and the blanket, the fixed position of the paper gradually moves in the printing direction after the second color printing. The amount of movement varies depending on the weight and type of paper, the pattern area of printing, and the like. Therefore,
It is preferable to have individual channels pre-input with these data in order to determine the normal position where the printing plate should be placed in consideration of the movement amount of the non-printed material due to various causes.

After the displacement amount is displayed, the automatic registration switch 29 is pressed, and a signal is sent to the printing machine to move the printing plates of each color except black ink according to the displacement amount while pressing and holding. On the basis of the adjustment data sent, the plate gripper moves independently in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction in order to correct the printing plate to the normal position for each plate. When the deviation amount of each color is 0 or within the allowable range, the drive device automatically stops.

The registration time by this apparatus was about 2 minutes including the time for placing the sample printed matter. Since the registration work is a work that requires skill, there is a time lag between people, and the proof printing work involves adjusting the water content and performing other work such as ink supply at the same time. I can't get the exact time. However, it has been confirmed that by using this device, it is possible to obtain a printed matter with proper registration in a short time without depending on the skill and intuition of the operator.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, but can be modified in various ways. For example, in the embodiment, the flatbed offset four-color proof printing machine is used as an example, but a flatbed offset two-color proof printing machine can be used.
Even with a flatbed offset single-color proof press, you can fix the paper placement position of the paper by reading the registration target of the printing of a certain standard color and adjusting the position of the printing plate based on that data. You can register without registration.

It is also conceivable to install a camera for reading the registration mark of the printed matter on the flatbed printing machine. In this case,
Since it is possible to omit the work of extracting the printed matter and placing it on the apparatus, if the reference printing plate is determined in advance, the registering work can be completely automated without any human intervention.
