Abstract:
This invention discloses a magnet for use as a printing plate or printing head that is used for aligning flakes or particles in a paint or ink. A composite sheet or block of magnetizable material is selectively magnetized so that a magnet is formed within the sheet or block that has a shape of a predetermined image, logo, or indica. Dies are used to magnetize the magnetizable material and preferably the does contact the material to be magnetized. A pre-magnetized sheet such as a refrigerator magnet may be re-magnetized differently so that a magnetic image is encoded therein for use as a printing plate. Preferably the printing plate is flexible so that it can be formed to a curved surface of a cylinder or drum for printing. Conveniently these flexible magnets can be changed for other designs and placed on the same drum for use in printing.

Abstract:
A lithographic printing process wherein an illuminated image on a document is scanned in a series of parallel sweeps with a photocell, applying an electric wave signal to a magnetic recording head with the amplitude of said signal determined by the output of the photocell and a function of the optical density of the image being scanned. The magnetic head has a width of from about 0.5 mils to about 5 mils and traverses a magnetic recording medium in a series of aligned parallel paths analogous to those scanned by the photocell to form a latent magnetic image in the magnetic recording medium, which image is a replica of the image being scanned. The horizontal spatial frequency is from about 200 to 1000 cycles/inch. The thus formed latent magnetic image is decorated with an oleophilic magnetic toner. The oleophilic magnetic image is transferred under pressure to a smooth heated lithographic substrate. If necessary, the toner is further heated to effect complete coalescence thereof. The thus formed lithographic printing plate is then used for lithographic printing.
Abstract:
A manufacturing method and a manufacturing apparatus for a printing magnetic orientation master and a magnetic pigment presswork are provided. The manufacturing method for a printing magnetic orientation master comprises: providing a magnet; using a heat radiation beam to heat a partial area of the magnet so that a new magnetic domain structure is formed in the partial area through self-magnetization of the magnet to change a magnetic-field distribution in the partial area; and removing the heat radiation beam to keep the new magnetic domain structure after it is decreased to a normal temperature so that the changed magnetic-field distribution is kept in the partial area, thus forming the printing magnetic orientation master having a predetermined magnetic orientation pattern. This can simplify the manufacturing process of the printing magnetic orientation master and allow the printing magnetic orientation master to carry abundant pattern information.
