    Foreword

    dear reader,

    This issue o Prof Tip is all about coating, drying and powdering.

    Youll learn about the advantages and disadvantages o oil-based

    varnishes and dispersion coatings as well as best-suited applications

    or two-roller systems and chamber doctor blade systems. Well ex-

    plain what kinds o deects can come up with dispersion coatings and

    how you can correct these. Further topics include inrared dryers

    and coating dryers, gloss measurement and the measurement o pile

    temperature. In addition, we will introduce you to the various spray

    powders and give you tips on how to choose the right type o powder

    and reduce the amount used. Thank you or your interest!

    Sincerely yours,

    the Team o the Print Media Academy

    The composition o oil-based varnishes is essentially the same as thato oset inks ( % solid substance content as well as drying through

    penetration and oxidation). Since these varnishes are intended to create

    a highly transparent flm with little coloring, all materials used have to

    be o premium quality. The varnishes can be processed ull-surace with-

    out dampening (place a ormat sheet under the blanket) in the case o

    spot coating, on the other hand, a conventional oset printing plate with

    dampening is needed.

    Oil-based Varnish

    5/36

    There are dispersion coatings without pigments (matt, fnishing varnishes,gloss or high gloss coatings) and with pigments (silver and gold coating or

    Iriodin). Various polymer dispersions, or so-called modifed acrylates, make

    upthebase.Furthercomponentsarewater-solublerosins,waterasasolvent

    anddiverseadditiveswhichsignicantlyinuencevariouscharacteristics

    like surace tension, wettability and abrasion resistance. Unlike oil-based

    varnish which dries via oxidation, in the case o dispersion coating, the

    drying process takes place completely physically: Through penetration andthe evaporation water content, the polymer particles move closer together.

    The emulsion/polymer particles melt together and build a flm.

    two-roller systemIn the two-roller system (see illustration below), a ountain roller scoops

    the coating out o an open coating pan and passes this on to the metering

    roller. The amount o coating supply is dependent on the preset revolution

    speed o the ountain roller. The level o coating in the open coating pan is

    monitored by an ultrasonic sensor. An electromechanical diaphragm pump

    ensuresacontinuousowofcoating.Theamountappliedisaround3to

    gsm wet. The exact amount applied can only be determined by weighing(scale). The two-roller system is suitable or surace and spot coatings.

    Compared to the chamber doctor blade system, the application o coating

    is more uneven. The application o coating is dependent on speed and is

    controlled by a coating characteristics curve.

    make sure to adjust the characteristics curve to the

    coating used!

    chamberdoctor blade systemThe chamber doctor blade consists o two doctor blades, which, together

    with the rame, build a closed chamber in which the coating is in constant

    circulation. A laser-engraved, ceramic-coated screen roller is responsible or

    metering. The amount o coating can be altered with exchangeable screen

    rollers with diering scoop volumes. The screen rollers ensure a defned and

    constant applied quantity as well as an even, smooth-coating application.

    The chamber doctor blade system is suitable or matt, gloss, blister, UV,

    gold and silver coatings and other eect coatings such as pearly luster

    coating (Iriodin) as well as or text and intricate designs.

    Forconsistentresultswithadenedamountofcoating,thescreenroller

    needs to be cleaned thoroughly with water. In addition, a deep cleaning as

    well as an ultrasonic bath should also be carried out regularly.

    problem with wettabilityIn the case o a problem with wettability, the coating rolls o the surace

    instead o orming a complete flm. This happens when the surace tension

    o the coating is higher than that o the ink. A higher surace tension

    causes the coating to contract and orms drops or mounds.

    Coating plates are thicker than normal oset plates. This is why they also

    have to be exposed in a special drum-type imagesetter. I theres nodrum-type imagesetter available, the master copy should be optically

    altered accordingly.

    smaller corrections

    Smaller corrections can be made by changing the underlays under the

    coating plate: I you decrease the strength o the underlays, the coating

    orms printed impression becomes longer. I you increase the strength o

    the underlays on the other hand, the coating orms printed impression

    is shortened.

    infrared dryerThis drying system heats the applied printing ink and printing stock with

    the energy rom inrared radiation. The thermal eect accelerates the physical

    and chemical processes in drying the ink. The lower viscosity o the printing

    ink oils leads to a aster penetration. In addition, the warm pile o paper

    promotesoxidation.Lowpercentagesofdampeningsolutionintheapplied

    ink layer urther accelerates oxidation. The short-wave radiation o the

    inrared dryer penetrates predominantly into the paper, while the mid-waveradiation warms the air above the ink layer.

    Properly chosen inrared heaters (original Heidelberg service parts) target the

    printing ink with heat and simultaneously protect paper and machine. Wave

    length, power and gold coating are optimally coordinated. The minimum lie-

    time o the heater is , hours.

    carried away. In order to achieve a secure removal o the water vapor, more

    air is always extracted than supplied by the dryer.

    The polymer particles distributed fnely in the solvent move continuously

    closer together because o water removal during drying. They are depositedon top o one another and build a hard polymer flm when thoroughly dried.

    At ideal climate conditions in the pressroom,the ground rule is: In the case o paper, the

    temperature o the pile at delivery should

    beabout14to18F(8to10C)overthe

    temperature o the eeder pile. In the case

    ofcardboard,itshouldbeabout18to27F

    (10to15C)overit.

    I the correct pile temperature is exceeded,

    the emitted heat in the pile makes the inks

    sot again. When this occurs, there is a

    danger o set-o!

    In the case o double-sided coating, reduce

    the temperature in both passes in order to

    prevent paper distortion and the coating layer

    on the back rom becoming sot.

    The ideal pile temperature can be most easily

    determined by tests. The test should be car-

    ried out together with an application engineer.The right pile temperature is dependent on

    many actors: coating characteristics, printing

    ink, absorbency o the printing stock, machine

    speed, drying path and delivery type, and

    control o discharged air.

    Measurement o the PileTemperature with a Hygrometer Probe

    The temperature read rom thehygrometer probe can deviate up to50 F (10 C) downward o the pilessurace temperature (IR deliverysensor).

    spray powders for printing with dispersion coatingsThe spray powder used or printing with dispersion coatings is surace-

    treated (coated) and is thus water-repellant (hydrophobic). Water-repellant

    powders are particularly advantageous or inline coating. This powder is

    also especially well-suited or sensitive materials, since it has a very low

    scouring tendency.
