| Abstract | TITLE: METHOD OF OPERATING AN OFFSET PRINTING PRESS AND APPARATUS THEREFOR. AN OPTICAL INSTRUMENT FOR DETERMINING PROPERTIES OF THE IMAGING ANDNON-IMAGING AREAS OF OFFSET PRINTING PLATES IS DISCLOSED. A LASER LIGHT SOURCE DIRECTS A LASER BEAM AT THE SURFACE LAYER OF AN OFFSET PRINTING PLATE. A SPECULARLY REFLECTED BEAM IS DETECTED BY A LIGHT DETECTOR. ADDITIONALLY, SCATTERED LIGHT IS DETECTED BY A LIGHT DETECTOR. THE DETECTORS PRODUCE LIGHT INTENSITY SIGNALS FOR THE REFLECTED AND SCATTERED LIGHT, RESPECTIVELY. A DATA PROCESSOR PROCESSES THE INTENSITY SIGNALS TO DETERMINE VARIOUS PROPERTIES RELATING TO THE DAMPENING SOLUTION AND INK PRESENT ON THE NON-IMAGING AND IMAGING AREAS OF THE PRINTING PLATE, RESPECTIVELY. THESE PROPERTIES INCLUDE THE THICKNESS OF DAMPENING SOLUTION IN NON-IMAGING AREAS, THE IMAGE DENSITY IN IMAGING AREAS OF A MOVING PRINTING PLATE, AND THE OCCURRENCE OF SCUMMING IN NON-IMAGING AREAS OF A PRINTING PLATE. THE PROCESSED INTENSITY SIGNALS ALSO MAY BE UTILISED TO CONTROL THE APPLICATION OF INK AND DAMPENING SOLUTION TO AN OFFSET PRINTING PRESS. |
