How to install a UV drying system on an ordinary offset press UV Drying system? What do we need to do?
What issues should we pay attention to when modifying ordinary offset presses in daily life? Offset UVLED Which modification manufacturer is good?
Below, the offset UVLED modification manufacturer "Qingda" will explain how to install a UV drying system on an ordinary offset press UV Drying system! Let's learn about it together?
Modifying an ordinary offset press UV The six key steps for modifying an offset press are as follows:
1. Adding UV Curing device
The added UV The curing light source is generally a metal halide lamp or a high-pressure mercury lamp.
Precautions are as follows:
1) Install a reflector
Without a reflector, about 8 0 % of UV light will not reach the surface of the printed matter due to diffusion , Therefore, UV lamps must be fitted with lampshades to UV reflect and concentrate the light on the surface of the printed matter. At the same time, the reflector should be cleaned and maintained regularly. Paper dust or spray powder adhering to the reflector will affect UV the reflective effect of the lamp. If UV the lamp is not used for a long time, it should be UV turned off to prevent dust from entering.
2) Choose a high-performance energy control device
The main function of this device is to ensure UV that the energy emitted by the UV lamp is stable, maintaining curing efficiency and stability, and meeting the needs of different printing speeds.
3) Cooling device cannot be ignored
The performance of the cooling device corresponding to the UV curing device must also meet the requirements.
The better the performance, the less heat the substrate receives, the less deformation, and the better for printing and registration.
2. Replace ink rollers and rubber blankets
UV Offset inks, due to their strong corrosiveness, may cause ordinary printing rollers and rubber blankets to expand, affecting the stability of printing pressure, and in severe cases, causing peeling or surface cracking. Therefore, UV offset printing has extremely high requirements for rollers and rubber blankets, and the selection of ink rollers and rubber blankets must be compatible with UV offset inks.
Precautions are as follows:
1) Ink rollers
Ink rollers need to be replaced with UV special-purpose or dual-purpose ones. Usually, we choose EPDM rubber or silicone rubber rollers with a hardness * above ④ 0 °C.
2) Rubber blankets
Rubber blankets need to be replaced with UV special-purpose or dual-purpose ones.
The following two types of rubber blankets can be selected.
UV Special rubber blankets: Anti-resin components are added to the rubber blanket mixture, which can withstand UV light irradiation, and the rubber blanket is not easy to powder. UV Self-adhesive rubber blankets: The rubber surface contains anti-resin, used
UV during printing, extending its lifespan. UV Replace the grippers UV Under
3. light irradiation, the gripper teeth will deform due to heat, affecting registration and printing.
So there are UV grippers on units with curing devices must be replaced with
special grippers. Ordinary offset press units do not have strict requirements for grippers. UV Replace with special printing plates UV Printing plates can be selected
4. special-purpose or dual-purpose plates, or ordinary plates can be heat-treated. Ordinary plates made using conventional methods
PS UV plates need to be baked for ① minutes to ①⑤ minutes
at a temperature of ②⑤ 0 ℃ ( CTP 0 plates also need to be baked )。 Choose the right fountain solution The fountain solution should not contain too much gum arabic. 10 ℃ ( CTP 0 plates also need to be baked )。
5. Choose the right ink cleaner
The ink cleaner should be
6. printing-specific; using ordinary ink cleaners will damage
油墨清洗剂要选择 UV 印刷专用的,使用普通油墨清洗剂会损伤 UV Printing plate.
