Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for color control on printing presses.
- the four scale colors black, cyan, magenta and yellow as well as, if necessary, special colors in the form of halftone dots are usually transferred to the printing material for autotypical overprinting.
- the colors involved in the autotypical overprint, namely the process colors and the special colors, are also referred to as process colors.
- the halftone dots of the different colors can differ in size, and the halftone dots of the different colors can be applied to the printing material with mutual overlap. From this it already follows that the creation of a desired color print depends on various factors and is therefore extremely complex.
- a large number of methods for color control on printing presses are already known from the prior art.
- the methods for color control known from the prior art generally have several of the following disadvantages:
- a first disadvantage of methods for color control known from the prior art is that they use the so-called area for color control as measured values. need coverage of the colors involved in the printing. The determination of the area coverage is very complex and usually only possible inaccurately because the area coverage actually on the printed product differs from that on the printing plate and can therefore hardly be determined exactly, and because image-sensitive pixels are mostly areas that are not homogeneous in color within a color patch to be measured. Color control methods that require surface coverage as the basis for calculation are therefore usually inaccurate.
- Another disadvantage of methods for color control known from the prior art is that some of the methods known from the prior art require spectral color values as measured values. The determination of spectral color values requires special sensors, which means that the execution of such methods is complex and expensive. In addition, large amounts of data have to be processed in color control processes that rely on the determination of spectral color values. This is also complex and expensive.
- Another disadvantage of methods for color control known from the prior art is that they are generally based only on the four process colors black, magenta, cyan and yellow and are not able to regulate autotypical overprinting with special colors. Furthermore, most of the methods known from the prior art have
- the object of the present invention is to create a novel method for color control on printing presses.
- This object is achieved by a method for color control on printing machines according to claim 1.
- the method comprises the following steps: a) for color control, in a first step or in a first stage of the method, only the color supply of a single color, namely a single process color, is changed, it being determined how the change in the color supply of this one process color to color values of a color patch to be measured, a corresponding color location being stored as a measured value or set of measured values, and this being carried out separately for each individual process color involved in the autotypical overprint; b) for color control, in a second step or in a second step of the method, all measured values determined and stored in connection with step a) of all process colors involved in the autotypical co-printing are offset against one another in such a way that for further color control, some or all process colors involved in printing are processed simultaneously are adjustable.
- the method for color control according to the invention has a number of advantages over the methods known from the prior art. It is therefore not necessary for the method according to the invention to determine the so-called area coverage, because it is inherently taken into account in the method according to the invention. Furthermore, the method according to the invention is based on the measurement of so-called standard color values, which is a significant reduction in the number of so-called spectral color values to be handled
- Amount of data enabled In addition to the process colors, special colors and thus all process colors involved in the autotypical overprint can also be reliably controlled with the method according to the invention.
- the color too Black like all other process colors, can be controlled reliably.
- At least one color spot is measured online during printing.
- this color spot being a so-called image-important point of the print job.
- the determined actual color location is a set of measured values that consists of three color values, which are in one suitable system, preferably in the so-called lab system.
- the determined actual color location of the measured color spot is then compared with the corresponding target color location for color control. If it is established in this comparison that the actual color location corresponds to the target color location or is within certain tolerance limits around this target color location, printing can continue without changing the process parameters. If, on the other hand, it is determined that the actual color location determined deviates from the corresponding target color location, a color control is carried out.
- the color control according to the invention takes place in two stages or steps. 1 visualizes the two steps or stages 10, 11 of the method according to the invention.
- step 12 only the color supply of a single process color involved in the autotypical combined printing is first changed, preferably during printing. According to block 13, it is then determined how the change in the color supply of this one color affects the color values of the color patch to be measured. According to step 14, corresponding measured values, which represent the effect of the adjustment of this one color on the color values of the color location, are stored.
- step 15 After the color supply for a single process color has been changed in the sense of blocks 12, 13 and 14 and the effect of this change on the color values of the color location of the color patch to be measured has been determined and stored, a check is carried out in step 15 as to whether this is adjusted by adjusting the color supply Color the desired target color location can be achieved can. If this is the case, you can branch directly to block 16. However, if it is determined that the desired target color location cannot be achieved, it is further checked whether other process colors are involved in the execution of the print job.
- the process branches back to block 12 and, for each individual process color, it is determined independently of the other process color how an adjustment occurs in the color supply of this one color affects the color values of the color locus.
- the first step or the first stage 10 of the method for color control according to the invention represents a learning stage, so to speak, in which it is determined how the adjustment of an individual process color affects. As soon as it is determined in block 15 that blocks 12, 13 and 14 have been processed for all process colors involved in printing, the process branches to block 16 and thus the second stage 11 of the method according to the invention.
- all measured values ascertained and stored in the first stage 10 are offset with respect to all process colors involved in the printing, so that some or all of the colors involved in the printing can be adjusted simultaneously for further color control.
- After completion of the first level 10 and thus the learning level it is known what effects the adjustment of each process color has on the color locus. From these values, a mathematical conversion can then be used to infer what effect the simultaneous adjustment of several process colors involved in the autotypical printing has on the color location. It should be pointed out here that in the first stage 10 of the method according to the invention it is determined how a color locus changes when each individual color is adjusted in the corresponding color system, in particular in the lab system. This can be seen in FIG.
- Color location 20 in the lab system of FIG. 2 is identified by coordinates (0.3; 0.3) and color location 21 is identified by coordinates (0.42; 0.38). These coordinates determine a color vector 22 which is characteristic of the effect of the change in a color on the color values of the color patch to be measured and which is stored as a corresponding set of measured values or as a color location for this color.
- a color vector is preferably determined in the first stage 10 of the method for each process color involved in the printing.
- a simple vector addition of the color vectors determined in the first stage 10 can then be used to calculate how the simultaneous change in several colors affects the color locus.
- the determination of the effect of the change in the color supply of each individual color on the color locus in the sense of the first stage 10 of the method according to the invention can be carried out in two different ways.
- a first alternative of the method according to the invention when adjusting the color supply of a single color, it is possible to wait until the color is in equilibrium after the adjustment. After reaching this state of equilibrium, the through the adjustment of the color caused change in the color location is determined as a corresponding color vector.
- the result obtained on the basis of the control carried out in block 16 is preferably checked in block 17. In this case, it is checked whether the color values of the color location that follows the control correspond to the result calculated in block 16. If a considerable deviation is found, the vector addition carried out in block 16 can be adapted, for example, by correcting the direction and size of the individual vectors on the basis of the present result.
- the learning phase 10 of the method according to the invention is preferably carried out only once when printing a print job. If control deviations occur when executing the same print job, the control can be carried out on the basis of the variables learned in step 10.
- the target color values required for control can either be known from the prepress stage and automatically provided as an input variable for the method according to the invention, or can be determined on the printing press by means of a manual or control system-supported setup phase.
- the method according to the invention is basically divided into two levels, namely a learning level and the actual control level.
- the learning level the ink supply is individually adjusted for each process color involved in the printing and the resulting effect on the color location is determined vectorially.
- these determined vectorial quantities are superimposed by vector addition, so as to predict the effect of a simultaneous adjustment of several or all of the colors involved in the printing.
