The work of preparing In
7、ternational Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison
8、with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of techn
9、ical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn
10、 to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 2834-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 130, Graphic technology. This first edition of ISO 2834-1, togeth
11、er with ISO 2834-2 and ISO 2834-3, cancels and replaces ISO 2834:1999. It also incorporates the Technical Corrigendum, ISO 2834:1999/Cor 1:2003. It is both a revision and an expansion of ISO 2834:1999 which only was applicable to lithographic and letterpress inks. The revised series of ISO 2834 make
12、s provision for test print preparation for all ink types and this part of ISO 2834 covers paste inks. In addition, this part of ISO 2834 was adapted to include a larger range of commercially available ink printability testers. ISO 2834 consists of the following parts, under the general title Graphic
13、 technology Laboratory preparation of test prints: Part 1: Paste inks Part 2: Liquid inks Part 3: Screen inks BS ISO 2834-1:2006iv Introduction This part of ISO 2834 specifies the test print preparation for paste inks, i.e. lithographic and letterpress inks. These test prints have a homogeneous dist
14、ribution of ink on a specified substrate and a known ink coverage and/or ink layer thickness. Therefore, they are suitable for optical tests so that the measured reflectance can be assigned to a known ink layer thickness. If test prints are prepared only for mechanical and chemical resistance tests,
15、 where the accuracy of the known ink layer thickness is different, it may be possible to apply other less accurate methods, e.g. using coaters or drawdown bars. The methods described in this part of ISO 2834 are used in other International Standards, e.g. ISO 2846-1, ISO 2846-2 and ISO 2836. BS ISO
16、2834-1:20061Graphic technology Laboratory preparation of test prints Part 1: Paste inks 1 Scope This part of ISO 2834 specifies a laboratory method for the preparation of printed samples made with paste inks (such as inks used for lithographic and letterpress printing). Such printed samples are inte
17、nded to be used for reflection based measurements, such as colorimetry and reflection density as well as for testing light fastness, and the resistance of printing inks to mechanical and chemical attack regarding either printing ink and/or substrate. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this
18、document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 printability tester device for uniformly inking a printing forme and transferring a known amount of ink on a substrate under specified conditions 2.2 printed area area of a substrate that is printed on, given by the surface area of the printin
19、g forme 3 Test method 3.1 Principle Using a printability tester, a known quantity of ink is printed uniformly on a known area of the paper or any other chosen substrate. The ink coverage is expressed in grams per square metre or, taking into account the mass density of the ink, by the ink layer thic
20、kness in micrometres. For ease of operation, an ink pipette may be used for metering the amount of ink supplied to the inking unit. The actual amount of ink transferred to the substrate is only determined by weighing the printing forme immediately before and after printing. Additional to printing, t
21、est samples for mechanical and chemical resistance tests may be prepared using any technique resulting in a uniform ink film in a desired thickness range, for example using a hand roller, coater or drawdown bar. BS ISO 2834-1:20062 3.2 Apparatus 3.2.1 Printability tester The printability tester allo
22、ws for the uniform inking of the printing forme and the uniform transfer of the ink to the substrate at a constant speed and pressure. 3.2.2 Printing forme The printing forme shall have either a smooth metallic and non-porous surface or shall be covered by an elastomer or rubber blanket. The type of
23、 the printing forme shall be mentioned in the report. 3.2.3 Analytical balance The analytical balance shall be accurate to 0,1 mg. 3.3 Materials 3.3.1 Printing ink Printing inks for the preparation of test prints shall be ready for use. 3.3.2 Substrate For the purpose of optical tests, the assessmen
24、t of light fastness of an ink and any other test, there shall be prior agreement as to the substrate to be used. 4 Procedure 4.1 Printing 4.1.1 Inking of the printing forme An appropriate amount of ink shall be applied to the inking unit. Appropriate time for distribution on the inking unit and inki
25、ng of the printing forme shall be chosen to ensure a homogeneous distribution of the ink. It is important to keep the distribution time and the inking time of the forme as short and as constant as possible, preferably controlled by the inking unit itself. If the unit is not equipped with this facili
26、ty, a separate timer shall be used. Leaving the ink too long on the inking unit and/or running at high speed may change the properties due to misting, drying and evaporation of solvents. Distribution and inking times are specified in Annex A. The inking time does not include the weighing time. Solve
27、nt used to clean the printing forme and the ink distribution roller can penetrate into the coverage of the rollers. Time needs to be allowed to ensure full evaporation of the solvent. Using two or more formes and inking sections alternatively is recommended. NOTE Several low inflammable, low odour a
28、nd/or environment-friendly solvents leave an oily or greasy deposit on the forme. This deposit can evaporate only after a long time or needs to be wiped off before using the forme to prevent the next print from being influenced by residues of the solvent. Evaporation of the solvents draw most of the
29、 energy required from the surface of the roller, therefore the rollers may cool several degrees while drying. They should be allowed to reach temperature equilibrium again before the next use, by letting them run dry on the inking unit or giving them sufficient time on the inking unit. BS ISO 2834-1
30、:20063Separate distribution rollers and printing formes with suitable material properties, as specified by the manufacturer, should be used for radiation-cured inks. Before using any printability tester for the preparation of test prints, it is important to contact the supplier to confirm compliance
31、 with this part of ISO 2834. Calibration of the printing device is very important for obtaining correct, reliable and repeatable results. For details on calibration, consult the supplier and the documentation supplied with the instrument. The lifetime of the rubber- or elastomer-covered parts is lim
32、ited, if properly handled, to a maximum of approximately 3 years. For rubber blankets this may be only three to twelve months. To prevent sudden change in printing results it is recommended to replace the rubber rollers after one to two years and before differences in results can be observed. The tr
33、ansfer characteristics of rubber rollers can change for a variety of reasons. Among these are: using them for different applications or ink types; bad cleaning; unsuitable cleaning solvents; ageing. If tests are made using different distribution rollers it is important that the distribution rollers
34、are identical, a test to determine the ink transfer may have to be performed. For details concerning distribution and inking, see Annex A. 4.1.2 Prints for optical tests Test prints shall be prepared as follows: the print shall be made using a printability tester using a printing forme in accordance
35、 with 3.2.2; in case of applying an ink coverage of more than 1 g/m2a metal forme can be used; this is to be mentioned in the report; printing shall be directly from the printing forme to the substrate; the temperature of the inking unit shall be (24 1) C; prints shall be produced with an appropriat
36、e printing line pressure (see Annex A); the inking unit and the printing forme shall be cleaned after each print; for radiation curing inks, suitable ink distribution rollers and printing formes shall be used. BS ISO 2834-1:20064 4.1.3 Evaluation of the ink film thickness The amount of ink transferr
37、ed to the substrate shall be determined by measuring the difference in mass of the printing forme before and after printing. Determine the printed area by measuring the length and the width of the print and calculate the area A. The ink coverage shall be expressed in grams per square metre and is ca
38、lculated according to Equation (1): 12mmCA= (1) where C is the ink coverage; m1is the mass of the inked forme before printing; m2is the mass of the forme after printing; A is the printed area. Conversion of the ink coverage C to ink film thickness shall be made by using the mass density of the ink a
39、ccording to Equation (2): Cd= (2) where d is the ink layer thickness; C is the ink coverage; is the mass density of the ink. 4.1.4 Provisions for heat-set and waterless inks If problems in ink transfer arise, a small amount of oil (e.g. linseed oil or a suitable alkyd) may be added to the ink prior
40、to ink distribution. The volume amount of oil added should be kept as low as possible and shall not exceed 5 %. The volume percentage of oil added shall be noted and be used to correct the ink film thickness. 4.2 Ink film thickness 4.2.1 Optical tests For optical tests, the ink film thickness shall
41、be reported in micrometres (m) to one decimal place. 4.2.2 Resistance tests For testing the resistance of printing inks to mechanical or chemical attack, the ink film thickness shall be (1,5 0,5) m on coated paper and (2,2 0,8) m on uncoated paper. 4.3 Drying Prior to testing, the prints shall be th
42、oroughly dry. If necessary, appropriate drying equipment should be used. BS ISO 2834-1:200654.4 Other method Test samples for mechanical and chemical resistance tests may also be prepared using any technique resulting in a uniform ink film in a desired thickness range, for example using a hand rolle
43、r. 5 Test report The test report shall contain the following information: a) reference to this part of ISO 2834 (ISO 2834-1:2006); b) manufacturer and type of the printing apparatus; c) type and material of the printing forme; d) distribution and inking times; e) temperature of the inking unit; f) i
44、nk layer thickness in micrometres; g) printed area; h) method of ink application if other than printing; i) substrate (type, supplier, mass per area); j) ink (designation, supplier, mass density); k) any operations not specified in this part of ISO 2834 which might have influenced the print result.
45、BS ISO 2834-1:20066 Annex A (normative) Printability tester conditions for test print preparation A.1 General This annex defines the requirements for the conditions for different types of printability testers based on the different principles: round printing forme on a flat printing surface; or roun
46、d printing forme on a round/curved printing surface. Clause A.2 provides practical recommendations, followed by the requirements for each type of tester in A.3. A.2 Ink application Use an ink pipette to apply the ink and use the documentation supplied with the inker to determine the required amount
47、of ink for the desired ink film thickness. Apply the ink as evenly as possible on the inking unit and/or over the width of the distribution roller and in three or more strokes on the circumference. This helps to reduce the distribution time drastically. If the ink is not applied evenly the required
48、distribution time may become three to four times longer and part of the forme may have a thicker ink layer than expected. A.3 Requirements A.3.1 Round to flat printing principle Pruefbau1)type A.3.1.1 The printing forme, if not metallic, shall be covered with rubber or rubber blanket with a hardness
49、 of 80 to 85 Shore A. A.3.1.2 The print line pressure shall be (175 25) N/cm for rubber and blanket covered formes and (200 25) N/cm for metallic formes. A.3.1.3 The printing speed shall be (1,0 0,1) m/s. A.3.1.4 The substrate shall be mounted on a carrier covered with a rubber blanket of the correct thickness in relation to the thickness of the substrate. A.3.1.5 The operating temperature of the inking unit shall be set to (24 1) C A.3.1.6 The distribution time and the inking time sha
