Abstract: There is described an intaglio printing press comprising a plate cylinder (8) carrying one or more intaglio printing plates (8c) and an impression cylinder (7) cooperating with the plate cylinder (8), a printing nip being formed between the plate cylinder (8) and the impression cylinder (7). The plate cylinder (8) and the impression cylinder (7) each comprise one or more cylinder pits (8a, 7a) and a corresponding number of cylinder segments (8b, 7b), the plate cylinder (8) and the impression cylinder (7) being in rolling contact with one another during printing operations along their respective cylinder segments (8a, 7b) when no cylinder pits (8a, 7a) are present at the printing nip. The intaglio printing press further comprises a monitoring system (150) designed to monitor a rolling condition of the impression cylinder (7) with respect to the plate cylinder (8) and to provide an indication as to whether or not the rolling condition corresponds to a desired rolling condition, the desired rolling condition being a rolling condition corresponding to true rolling of the impression cylinder (7) with respect to the plate cylinder (8) where no slippage occurs between a circumferential surface of the impression cylinder (7) and a circumferential surface of the plate cylinder (8). Also described is a method of monitoring operation of an intaglio printing press.

Abstract: There are described various embodiments of an inking system for inking an intaglio printing cylinder (8) of an intaglio printing press (1I; 1II; 1III ; 1IV; 1V), which intaglio printing cylinder carries one or more intaglio printing mediums (8a, 8b, 8c) that are inked by means of a plurality of inking devices (95; 95*; 95**; 905; 905*). The inking system is designed to perform a selective transfer of ink to the one or more intaglio printing mediums by means of a selective inking cylinder (98; 98*; 98**) provided in at least one of the inking devices, preferably in each of the inking devices. More precisely, the selective inking cylinder carries a selective inking plate (90a) receiving ink supplied by an associated inking unit (96/96a/97; 96*/96a*/97*; 96**/96a**; 906/906a/910/915; 906*/906a*/910*/915*), which selective inking plate comprises a coating (900) that is selectively structured to exhibit ink-repellent portions (910) and perform selective transfer of ink at locations (920) corresponding to engraved areas of the one or more intaglio printing mediums that are to be inked with the ink supplied by the associated inking unit. The selective transfer of ink to the one or more intaglio printing mediums is performed indirectly from the selective inking cylinder to the one or more intaglio printing mediums via an ink collecting cylinder (9) and/or via a chablon cylinder (99*; 99**) carrying a chablon plate (99a) comprising relief portions (99A) corresponding to engraved areas of the one or more intaglio printing mediums that are to be inked with the ink supplied by the associated inking unit.

Abstract: There is described a process of measuring print-to-print register of a multicolour print (A-D) provided in an effective printed area (EPA) of the surface of printed material, which multicolour print (A-D) is formed on the printed material by means of one or more printing presses and includes at least a first pattern (A) and a second pattern (B) distinguishable from the first pattern (A), the effective printed area (EPA) being provided with a matrix arrangement of individual imprints (P) which are each provided with the multicolour print (A-D) and are repeated over the surface of the effective printed area (EPA) along a pattern of rows and columns. Measurement of an actual print-to-print register between the first and second patterns (A, B), as reflected on the printed material, is derived from processing and finding a correspondence between (i) at least one sample image (SIA, SIB) of the printed material covering at least a portion of the first and second patterns (A, B), and (ii) at least one corresponding reference image (RIA, RIB) generated using prepress design data of the first and second patterns (A, B). Furthermore, the process is repeated for multiple ones of the individual imprints (P) so as to derive a set of multiple measurements of the actual print-to-print register between the first and second patterns (A, B) at various imprint locations over the effective printed area (EPA), which set of multiple measurements is mapped into a corresponding print-to-print register map (MB-A, MC-A, MD-A, . . . ) that is representative of print-to-print register deviations at the various imprint locations. Also described is a measuring device for carrying out this process and a process of measuring and correcting print-to-print register of a multicolour print.
